For more than 90 years, Buffalo Golf Club has been more than just a golf course—it has been a gathering place for our community. Nestled against the eastern slope of the beautiful Big Horn Mountains, Buffalo Golf Club is an award-winning 18-hole public facility known for its welcoming atmosphere, exceptional course conditions, and breathtaking scenery. Frequently recognized as one of Wyoming's premier public golf courses, Buffalo Golf Club has earned a reputation as one of the state's true hidden gems. While we're proud of our history and accolades, what matters most is the people. Our season passholders, daily fee visitors, junior golfers, veterans, volunteers, and staff have created a culture built on trust, integrity, kindness, and genuine hospitality. We're seeking a PGA Class A Professional who shares those values and is excited to become an important part of our community.

Working collaboratively with the Golf Course Superintendent and Restaurant Manager, the Head Golf Professional will coordinate daily operations, tournaments, leagues, instructional programming, merchandising, and special events to ensure an exceptional experience for every season passholder and daily fee visitor.
