There are so many things that I love and enjoy about working at Interlachen Country Club. The people I work with are amazing. They make me feel comfortable and welcomed each day I am on property. There is always room for growth and improvement within the Club which makes it easy to work within different departments. The thing that makes working at Interlachen Country Club different than other jobs is that everyone genuinely loves working here. From the members to the team members everyone is excited to come to the Club and have a great time, which says a lot about the hospitality and the HEART each employee brings to work every day

I have been working at Interlachen Country Club for almost 3 1/2 years. My experience here has been like no other, Interlachen is a very family-based community. We each do our best to make Interlachen a second home for both employees and members. I have acquired so many skills and learned how to be a better person for myself and for others. I have worked in so many different departments such as: in our restaurant (Bobby Jones), in our cafe (Founders), in our Youth Activity Center, in our Pool, and in our Hockey Lodge. By doing this I have gotten to see every part of Interlachen that our members love and be a part of that experience. I was able to find connections with both members and team members that I never thought I would have, which makes my experience here something that I will be thankful for throughout the years. One of my favorite parts about Interlachen is the big events that are held for holidays, such as Mother’s Day brunch, Oktoberfest, Christmas, The Fourth of July, and many others. It is truly amazing seeing everyone come together to celebrate and see what a difference we can make to someone’s day. We are one team and one family all working together to make the best experience for everyone possible. I am and will always be very thankful for the experiences and opportunities that Interlachen has given to me

I think the biggest part that sticks out to me about Interlachen is the high standards of service. I have always loved that, with everyone working hard towards the common goal and giving a great member experience. Something that drew me in was how much we care about our members and how that care is a group effort. The team is always here to support employees too. They give meals to our staff, and do various things throughout the year to show how much they care about our wellbeing. All of that matters.

There is a lot of support on this team - providing meals, helping cover shifts - it seems like people are constantly supporting each other. If you are swamped at work, everyone is here to help you out. The managers are very hands on which I appreciate and love to see. I’m never afraid to ask for guidance or support.

All I’ve ever asked for is a great working experience and I’ve gotten that here. There is room to grow at Interlachen and looking back at my experience, I have learned so much. That’s all anyone can ask for. The leadership has been amazing at helping me see beyond my position and the growth opportunities here at the club. The skills I’ve learned here carry over into the skills I’ll need in my professional career and in life. I’ve talked about my skills in so many classes.

When you work here, you can't help but feel compelled to be happy. Every day I want to come to work, do a good job, and have a positive attitude. The energy from members rubs off on me and I’ve looked forward to going to work every day. I don’t think a lot of people can say that about their jobs anywhere else.
