"I am very impressed at how Sunningdale has committed the time, people and financing over such an incredibly short time period to not only make major renovations and improvements to both 18 hole courses, but complete construction on what is one of the most elegant Clubhouses in this part of Ontario.  With course renovations and the new clubhouse now complete, golf at Sunningdale will truly become one of the most pleasurable private club experiences around."

Since joining Sunningdale in 2003 on the Golf Shop side, Josh’s dream has been to evolve into a role that combines his knowledge of the golf side of country clubs with his extensive experience in high end clubhouse dining management.
 
A graduate of Georgian College’s three year program in Professional Golf & Country Club Management, Josh gained incredible co-op experience at high end clubs right from the start. From being a wine steward at the Sherwood Inn in Muskoka, he moved into supervisory positions in the Clubhouse at Lake Joseph where he was responsible for all operational aspects of the restaurant, half-way house, on-course services, staff scheduling and payroll. (not to mention interacting regularly with 'stars', including most of the Maple Leaf hockey team, and Canadian and Hollywood celebrities).

During the winter off-seasons at Sunningdale, Josh managed Snow Valley Ski Resort in Barrie for three seasons, where he was in charge of the entire food & beverage operation serving thousands of people every day.

Now with an understanding of both sides of the industry, Josh is looking forward to blending his personal relationship skills with his golf and food & beverage knowledge to develop increased member contact. A lover of wine and fine dining, he is studying to become a Sommelier and will be gradually expanding and adding new unique selections to the Sunningdale wine list. Josh considers dining a very important aspect of Sunningdale and is focused on making the member experience comfortable, friendly and personal – a 'home' where members are proud to bring guests.
