About Golf VX
Golf VX brings together golf, technology, entertainment, and hospitality to create a different kind of indoor golf experience.
Our Arlington Heights location features 12 state-of-the-art Golf VX simulator bays alongside food and beverage service, leagues, events, lessons, and more.
We're looking for a Golf Operations Captain who enjoys working with people, can take ownership of a shift, and wants to help create a great experience for every guest who walks through the door. You don't need to be a great golfer. You do need to be dependable, comfortable leading others, and willing to jump in wherever the team needs you.
What You'll Do
As a Golf Operations Captain, you'll be one of the leaders on the floor and help keep the venue running smoothly during your assigned shifts. You'll work closely with the Venue Manager while staying hands-on with guests and the rest of the team.
Lead the shift - Help organize the team, communicate priorities, solve problems, and keep operations moving throughout the day
Create a great guest experience - Welcome guests, answer questions, check on bays, resolve issues, and make sure guests are taken care of from arrival through departure
Help guests with Golf VX technology - Get players started in their simulator bays, explain basic features, and troubleshoot common issues
Support food and beverage operations - Help coordinate front-of-house and back-of-house service and jump in where needed during busy periods
Support leagues and events - Help execute corporate events, parties, tournaments, leagues, lessons, and other venue programming
Coach and support the team - Help onboard and train employees, provide direction during shifts, and reinforce Golf VX service standards
Maintain venue readiness - Complete opening and closing responsibilities, restock supplies, monitor inventory, and keep the venue clean, organized, and guest-ready
Handle transactions responsibly - Process cash and credit transactions accurately and follow all cash-handling procedures
Maintain safety and compliance - Follow food safety procedures, alcohol service requirements, company policies, and guest safety standards
Support the Venue Manager - Communicate shift updates, guest feedback, inventory needs, maintenance issues, and opportunities to improve the operation
Most importantly, Captains are expected to lead by example. This is a hands-on role. If the front desk needs help, you'll help. If a guest needs assistance in a bay, you'll be there. If the team gets busy, you'll jump in alongside them.
What We're Looking For
