Train at Cullasaja Country Club

Nestled 4,200 feet up in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Cullasaja Country Club is more than just a destination — it’s a lifestyle. With fewer than 300 homes and a strong sense of community, Cullasaja offers its members “Simply the Perfect Life.” And now, you’re invited to be part of it.

This intimate private club is known for its premier golf course, stunning mountain clubhouse, gourmet dining, and a full roster of outdoor and wellness activities — from tennis and croquet to boating and fitness. It’s where elegance meets nature, and where hospitality takes centre stage.

We’re currently recruiting for Food & Beverage internships on a 7-month placement, giving you the opportunity to train in high-end service, develop your skills, and work alongside a close-knit team in one of the most beautiful settings in the U.S.

Over the course of your 7-month program, you’ll rotate through a variety of service settings, gaining a deep understanding of both à la carte and event-style dining, as well as the ins and outs of member service in the private club industry.

This internship is designed to challenge and elevate your service skills across the board. You’ll get first-hand experience with casual, formal, buffet, and catered event service, all within a relaxed and family-oriented club environment.

Cullasaja is the kind of place where you’ll be encouraged to grow into leadership, with the opportunity to return as an Intern Supervisor in future seasons.

Pay Rate: $14.00 USD/hour

Hours: Guaranteed minimum of 32 per week
