Equipment Manager- Saddle Creek Golf Club
Established in 2000 and based in Atlanta, Georgia, Bobby Jones Links is a club management and development company serving private, resort, daily fee, and public courses. At the heart of our work is a commitment to serving people and creating exceptional experiences for members, guests, and employees. We live by our core values: Make People Happy, Do What You Say, Strive for Excellence, Be Driven, and Grow Every Day. These principles shape our culture and drive our success. As Bobby Jones said, “The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.” That same pursuit of excellence defines everything we do.
Located just forty-five minutes south of Nashville, Tennessee, and managed by Bobby Jones Links, Saddle Creek Golf Club plays a challenging 6,700 yards from the championship tees. The front nine forces accurate tee shots through beautiful tree lined fairways. Lakes and streams come into play on seven of the nine holes surrounding some of Tennessee’s truest bent grass greens. The back nine features a “links” style course with plenty of water, bunkers, and unusual lies if you miss the fairway. Wind almost always plays a factor. Saddle Creek Golf Club is also proud to be recognized as a participant in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program.
