About the Job
Framingham Country Club seeks hospitable, service-oriented individuals with food preparation and/or food & beverage service experience.
About The Club:
Incorporated in 1902, Framingham Country Club (FCC) is a premier private club with a diverse membership of local and seasonal residents. The Club is located about 35 miles west of Boston and prides itself on the terrific views, spectacular offerings, and challenging course for golfers at every skill level.
The charming original Clubhouse, a historic house circa 1700, still exists on the north side of the property. The Club sold that house in the 1950s and purchased the home of a member which is of the current Clubhouse. Today, Framingham Country Club is an upscale 18-hole Member Equity Club with a highly renowned championship 18-hole golf course and a beautiful state-of-the-art six-lane pool with a slide, diving well, and kiddie pool for the younger children. There is also a top-notch Performance Center that offers a full array of amenities.
The membership of just over 500 includes passionate golfers, with a vibrant social membership, and many young families. Children are welcome to join the kids' camps and many other junior programming activities on and off the golf course. The Club offers two clubhouses for a total of 20,000 sq. ft. with multiple dining venues and patios and two distinct kitchens. The poolside café also offers a smaller kitchen to serve members and guests during the very active summer months.
The 18-hole golf course which has had several redesigns by both William Mitchell and Geoff Cornish, hosted the 2018 Girls Junior Amateur Championship, 2017 U.S. Mid-Amateur Sectional Qualifier, 2016 MGA 4 Ball Championship, 2014 USGA Senior Women's Qualifier, two Francis Ouimet Memorial Tournaments, 2022 Massachusetts Senior Amateur and most recently the 2024 MASS AM Golf Tournament. Although over 140 members have single-digit handicaps, the course offers something for all skill levels. Members and their guests not only enjoy the beautiful meandering golf course and these other amenities but also truly enjoy the camaraderie that the culture fosters throughout the Club
