GENERAL MANAGER
The Tribrook Club, formerly Lexington Golf & Country Club, is undergoing a comprehensive transformation that will redefine the private-club experience in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. The project features a fully renovated 18-hole championship golf course designed by acclaimed architect Lester George in collaboration with Marvin “Vinny” Giles, a state-of-the-art practice and performance center, a new clubhouse and dining facilities, a pool and poolhouse, and a new golf course maintenance facility. The full club is scheduled to open in May 2027, coinciding with the 125th anniversary of the club’s founding.
This transformation is made possible through a unique partnership between the club’s members and Washington and Lee University. Together, they are reinvigorating an important community asset and creating a welcoming destination for members, their families and guests, and the broader Washington and Lee and Lexington communities. The General Manager will play a vital role in strengthening these relationships while honoring the club’s rich history and establishing a new culture of exceptional hospitality, connection, and service.
Tribrook Club and Landscapes Golf Management are seeking a dynamic, hospitality-focused professional to lead the organization into this exciting next chapter. The successful candidate will provide visible, hands-on leadership; recruit and develop an exceptional team; establish operating standards and service expectations; and oversee the successful opening and long-term operation of the club’s new facilities. Experience opening a new business, club, resort, hotel, restaurant, or similarly complex hospitality operation is a significant plus. This is a rare opportunity for an accomplished leader to help shape the identity, culture, and member experience of a club being thoughtfully built for generations to come.
