Job Description

Since its founding in 1972 by visionary and former Dallas Mayor Robert S. Folsom, Bent Tree Country Club has been a cornerstone of North Dallas’s social and sporting scene. What began as 200 acres of rolling cotton fields and pastureland has transformed into one of the city’s most prestigious destinations, designed by the renowned Golf Course Architect Desmond Muirhead. In 2022, Bent Tree opened a new 68,000 sq. ft. clubhouse with beautiful, well-appointed, new dining, Golf, Fitness, and event spaces. The Tennis facilities were renovated in 2023, and later this year, Bent Tree will begin a one-year complete golf course renovation project with esteemed designer, Beau Welling.

From its inception, Bent Tree Country Club was envisioned as more than just a club—it was designed to be a vibrant hub for families, community leaders, and business executives. Today, that vision is alive and thriving. Our members include Fortune 500 executives, world-class athletes, and civic leaders, including past mayors of Dallas, creating a dynamic and diverse community. At Bent Tree, we’re proud of our legacy—and we’re just as excited about our future.
