  • The Swan Country Club
  • Saugerties, NY

Job Description

The Swan Country Club in the gorgeous Hudson Valley of NY is seeking an exceptional, visionary Executive Chef to lead and elevate our culinary program. This is a rare opportunity for a chef with a proven track record in crafting refined farm-to-table and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, with a deep respect for seasonality, simplicity, and execution at a high level.

We are building something intentional—where food, setting, and experience align.

The Vision

We are committed to a culinary philosophy rooted in:

  • Locally sourced, seasonal ingredients from nearby farms and purveyors
  • Emphasis on  organic, grass-fed, and wild-caught products
  • Menus that evolve with the seasons— simple, elegant, and expressive
  • A balance of  earthy flavors and refined, thoughtful presentation

While we are not a vegan restaurant, we value a chef who can thoughtfully incorporate  plant-forward and vegan offerings , alongside expertly prepared meats and seafood requiring precision and discipline.


What You’ll Lead

This role extends beyond a single kitchen.

In addition to our main dining experience, you will oversee and further develop our  seasonal outdoor bar and restaurant —a casual yet upscale, high-energy space serving both golfers and the public.

This environment offers is your choice to curate, from:

  • Tapas, Raw bar, BBQ, and/or Gourmet pizza
  • Breakfast-to-go for early golfers and guests
  • Weekend brunch and  alfresco dining
  • Live music on weekends , creating a vibrant, social atmosphere

This is not a traditional golf club—it is a  multi-experience destination with the opportunity to refine, expand, and elevate each offering.

As the seasons shift, the experience transitions seamlessly into our indoor dining environments.


What Matters to Us

  • Strong command of  food cost management and operational discipline
  • Commitment to  zero-waste practices and a sustainable kitchen approach
  • Ability to lead with  consistency, accountability, and professionalism
  • A  hands-on, solutions-driven mindset
  • Pride in execution at every level

Who You Are

  • A proven culinary leader with a clear point of view
  • Passionate about excellence, while grounded in simplicity
  • Positive, focused, and committed to maintaining a high-standard environment
  • A non-smoker

The Opportunity

This is more than a position—it’s a platform.

The Swan offers a  unique combination of natural beauty, infrastructure, and untapped potential , allowing the right chef to shape and define a culinary identity across multiple experiences.

For the right individual, this is an opportunity to  build something meaningful, visible, and lasting!
