First developed in 1980 as a home for the LPGA, TPC Houston in Sugar Land, Texas, operated as Sweetwater Country Club until March 2026, when it became part of the PGA TOUR's TPC Network. Its 1,278 members now enjoy TPC Passport privileges along with two 18-hole championship courses, eight outdoor and four indoor tennis courts, pickleball, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness amenities and a robust calendar of dining and social programming.


The General Manager will lead all areas of the operation, including golf, course maintenance, food and beverage, racquet sports, aquatics, membership sales, facilities, finance and human resources. Initial priorities include earning the trust of members, employees and ownership, creating consistent service standards across every department and aligning department leaders around operating plans, budgets and measurable goals. A coaching mindset and open-door style will be essential as the General Manager builds the leadership team and serves as the Club's representative in the Sugar Land community.

Founded in 1965, Haworth Country Club is a private, non-equity club on approximately 175 acres in Bergen County, New Jersey, just a short drive from New York City. Its diverse, multicultural membership of approximately 420 enjoys an 18-hole championship course redesigned by Robert Trent Jones Jr. in 2000, a year-round tennis, pickleball and fitness center with seven indoor courts, and American and Asian-inspired dining, along with weddings, corporate events and golf outings. Ownership remains committed to the property, with a clubhouse refresh, new course bridges and a new irrigation system planned for 2027.


In this newly created role, the Senior Director of Operations will report to the General Manager and lead daily operations across golf, food and beverage, banquets, racquets, recreation and member services. Overseeing five department directors, including finance, this leader will establish clear expectations, manage budgets, labor and cost controls, and work alongside the General Manager to strengthen systems, staffing and standards. A visible, approachable and culturally aware leadership style will be essential to preserving Haworth's entrepreneurial spirit while developing well-trained teams and consistent execution across the Club.
