Job Description

The Eisenhower Golf Course, located at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado, is a prestigious facility dedicated to providing exceptional recreational services to military personnel, their families, and authorized guests. As a vital part of the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) program for the Air Force and Space Force, the golf course offers a relaxing and enjoyable environment amidst the stunning natural landscape of the Academy. The facility not only promotes physical wellness and leisure activities but also supports community engagement and social interaction among service members and their families. The Eisenhower Golf Course operates to uphold the highest standards of service excellence and military hospitality, contributing to the quality of life for those connected to the Air Force Academy.

This non-appropriated fund (NAF) position at the Eisenhower Golf Course is primarily focused on operating and managing the beverage cart, offering a unique opportunity to engage directly with patrons in a dynamic and outdoor setting.
