Oldfield Club , located in Okatie, SC , is pleased to announce an excellent career opportunity for a full-time Beverage Manager ! We are seeking a driven individual who is eager to learn, contribute, and grow within a fast-paced hospitality-focused property organization. As part of Troon , you will contribute to a global leader in golf and community management.

Summary:

Seeking an accomplished and hospitality-driven Beverage Manager to lead and elevate the Club's beverage program as we continue to enhance the member experience throughout the Club. This is an exciting opportunity for a beverage professional who understands that exceptional service goes far beyond what is in the glass. At Oldfield, beverage is an integral part of the overall dining and social experience — from a relaxed afternoon at the bar to a thoughtfully selected wine with dinner, a signature cocktail at a Club event, or a perfectly executed beverage experience on a busy game day. The Beverage Manager will oversee the day-to-day beverage operation throughout the Club, including the Rookery Bar, Magnolia Room, and River Club, while supporting banquets, member events, special programs, and other Club beverage outlets as needed. As Oldfield continues its ongoing clubhouse renovation and evolution of its Food and Beverage program, this position will play an important role in developing standards, systems, menus, training, and service culture that will define the next chapter of the Club.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Beverage Manager is responsible for the overall management, execution, and continued development of Oldfield's beverage program. This position combines operational leadership with creativity, financial accountability, and a genuine passion for hospitality. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable discussing wine with a member, developing a seasonal cocktail menu, coaching a bartender through service, analyzing beverage costs, conducting an inventory, or stepping behind the bar when the operation needs leadership. We are looking for someone who is engaged, polished, organized, approachable, and relentlessly focused on the member experience.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate is someone who believes that hospitality should feel personal. You understand the difference between serving a drink and creating an experience. You know when to recommend a wine, when to make a classic cocktail, and when to simply remember how a member likes their favorite drink. You are a leader who is comfortable setting high standards while remaining approachable and engaged with the team. You understand that profitability and hospitality are not competing priorities — they should work together. Most importantly, you take pride in the details.
