The club boasts a championship 18-hole golf course offering scenic water views, seven meticulously maintained Har-Tru tennis courts, and an elegant pool complex, all enveloped by a tradition of refined service and understated sophistication. Members enjoy an exclusive and welcoming community, with a strong commitment to excellence in all aspects of club operations and hospitality.
We are currently seeking an experienced and accomplished Sous Chef to join the distinguished culinary team at Hampshire Country Club. This role is central to maintaining the club’s exceptional dining standards and ensuring member satisfaction through innovative and high-quality cuisine.
