The Board of Governors of Talbot Country are pleased to share that Rob McWilliams has joined the senior leadership team as the new General Manager.
“We are thrilled to welcome Rob to Talbot Country Club,” said Ron Flohr, Talbot Country Club Board President. “We are confident that he is a great fit for our Club and its members and staff. We look forward to partnering with him as we plan for and realize our future.”
“I have spent the past eleven years preparing for this opportunity, and I am fortunate to be part of such a wonderful membership and talented team,” said Rob McWilliams, Talbot Country Club General Manager. “I look forward to developing new relationships and friends on the Eastern Shore.”
McWilliams has more than 10 years senior-level experience in club management to include: food & beverage operations, clubhouse management, technology, financial management, capital project management, long-term planning and team leadership, mentoring and training.
Most recently, McWilliams was the Director of Operations at the Club at Mediterra in Naples, Fl. Prior to taking on that role, he was a member of the senior management team for three years and facilitated the Club’s transition from a developer’s club to a member-owned club. Club at Mediterra was the first golf course to be recognized as an Audubon Silver Sanctuary and the restaurants and banquet facilitates were the first in a private residential club to be certified “green.”
Prior to the Club at Mediterra, McWilliams worked with the Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa. (host to more combined USGA and PGA championships than any other course in the United States) from 2006-2011 where he served as the Support and Development Manager and Food and Beverage Manager. While at Oakmont, he managed the largest food venue of the US Women’s Championship Tournament, serving nearly 11,000 people in 7 days.
Before transitioning to a career in Club Management, McWilliams served in the US Army where he was a Nuclear Demolitions Specialist and was appointed a Chemical Warfare Readiness Officer. Following his service in the Army, he worked in the private sector as a project manager where he directed, supervised and coordinated activities in the electronics, aerospace, performance metals and robotics industries.
McWilliams is a native of the Pittsburgh area in Pennsylvania and has an adult son living in Washington DC.
