About PopStroke

PopStroke is a founder-led brand built by people who believe energy creates results and culture creates momentum. We aren’t here to simply run venues — we’re here to build something special together.

At PopStroke, every team member has limitless potential to become who they want to be. We encourage bold ideas, celebrate growth, and believe that when you’re supported, challenged, and trusted, you rise.

We solve problems together, jump in, and move the needle every day because we care. We lead with ownership, back each other up, and never lose sight of the fun along the way.

This mindset; the drive, the heart, the teamwork is what we call The PopStroke Way.

Our Core Values

Make It Fun

If it’s not fun, rethink how we’re doing it.
We bring creativity, positivity, and joy into everything we do, from guest interactions, doing hard things, and how we support one another.

Bring the Energy

Your vibe sets the tone.
Every leader and team member influences the experience. Show up with enthusiasm, optimism, and presence.

Roll Up Your Sleeves

See it. Fix it. Jump in.

We are hands-on, problem solvers that jump in and become part of the solution.   We leave things better than we found them.

Own It

Live your role with an owner’s mindset.
We take pride in our work, hold ourselves accountable, and treat the business like it’s our own.

Get Off the Hamster Wheel

Don’t repeat yesterday — rethink, improve, grow.
We challenge “the way it’s always been done” and are always looking for better ways to serve our guests and each other.

Position Summary

At PopStroke, the guest experience starts with our people.

The Guest Service Associate is one of the most visible and important members of our venue team—bringing the energy, personality, and hospitality that turns a visit to PopStroke into an experience guests want to come back to.

We’re looking for people with charisma, confidence, and a naturally engaging personality. Someone who notices the guest standing alone and approaches them before they have to ask for help. Someone who remembers a returning member, celebrates the birthday group walking in, helps a family figure out where to go next, and sees opportunities to create a great experience without waiting to be told.

This is more than checking guests in or handing out putters. You are a host for the entire PopStroke experience.

The best Guest Service Associates are proactive, upbeat, polished, and comfortable engaging with anyone. They anticipate needs, solve problems in the moment, and understand that the smallest interaction can be the difference between a good visit and an unforgettable one.

Key Responsibilities

Create the PopStroke Experience

· Welcome every guest with genuine energy, warmth, and enthusiasm from the moment they arrive.

· Make meaningful connections with guests and members throughout their visit—not just at check-in.

· Read the guest. Recognize when someone needs help, direction, a recommendation, or simply a great interaction and step in proactively.

· Look for opportunities to personalize the experience and create WOW moments for birthdays, celebrations, first-time visitors, families, members, and returning guests.

· Be knowledgeable and confident talking about everything PopStroke has to offer so you can help guests make the most of their visit.

· Anticipate guest needs rather than waiting to be asked.

· Handle guest questions, concerns, and feedback with confidence, urgency, and a hospitality-first mindset.

· Own the guest experience in front of you. If you see something that needs attention, take action or find the person who can.

Be the Face of PopStroke

· Check guests in, explain the venue experience, provide equipment, and help guests get ready to play.

· Engage guests throughout the venue and assist with golf play, course rules, the PopStroke app, and general venue questions.

Own the Venue With Your Team

· Partner with Operations, Food & Beverage, Events, and other venue team members to create one seamless guest experience.

· Jump in wherever the guest or business needs you. At PopStroke, hospitality doesn’t stop because something falls outside your station.

· Maintain clean, organized, stocked, and guest-ready golf, retail, service, course, and restroom areas.

· Keep the golf shop and guest-facing areas stocked and presentation-ready.

· Handle cash and credit transactions accurately and follow all POS and cash-handling procedures.

· Help maintain the energy and atmosphere of the venue during busy periods, events, nights, weekends, and holidays.

· Work comfortably in both indoor and outdoor environments.

· See it. Own it. Fix it. Leave the venue better than you found it.

· Perform other duties as needed to support our guests and the business.

· You stay upbeat and composed when the venue is busy.
