Rob Martin

General Manager at Wycliffe Golf & Country Club

Rob Martin is no stranger to serving the public. He has managed the high expectations and intensity of the snowbird and tourism "high season" since he was a teen. Martin is a native of South Florida, specifically growing up in Boca Raton, Florida where his first jobs were part-time stints at country clubs. Martin excelled in his early career and was promoted through the ranks within different disciplines. He graduated from Bluefield State College in West Virginia with a degree in Business Administration.

Armed with vast hospitality skills, Martin accepted the Food and Beverage Manager position at PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, where he thrived, including managing the logistics for the preeminent Honda Classic. From PGA Resort, Martin's big break returned him to country clubs accepting a promotion as Clubhouse Manager for Wyndemere Country Club in Naples; he has never looked back. Steeped in hospitality acumen, his diverse talents have served him well and clubhouse manager roles followed at River Oaks Country Club in Houston and Alotian Club in Little Rock, Arkansas. Despite having great hospitality experiences around the country; Martin is happiest in his home state of Florida, the epicenter for the country club and leisure lifestyles.

Having joined Wycliffe in July 2015 as Clubhouse Manager, Martin quickly established himself as a tour de force; talented in working with a sophisticated clientele and equipped with a wealth of experience and knowledge. Martin was promoted to Assistant General Manager in December 2016 with oversight of all Club activities, including monthly Board Meetings and committee meetings. This experience and his knowledge of the membership were invaluable when he took on the role of Interim General Manager in May of 2017 and later appointed General Manager & COO.
