Ben Pollitt
Head Golf Professional Born and raised in Chester, England, Ben discovered golf at the age of nine when his father handed him his first club and asked if he’d like to give the game a try. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for golf. In 2011, he moved to the United States to attend Goshen College in Indiana, where he played on the golf team and earned his degree in Kinesiology with a focus in Sports Management. Since graduating, Ben has built a well-rounded career at respected clubs across the country. He held positions at Knollwood Country Club in South Bend, Barrington Hills Country Club in Illinois where he earned his PGA membership in 2020, and most recently at FireRock Country Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he has served as First Assistant Golf Professional since 2020. At each stop, Ben has developed expertise in tournament programming, member engagement, staff training, merchandising, and overall golf operations. Ben is also advancing his professional education through the PGA’s Specialized Professional Program in the Golf Operations Pathway, with plans to pursue the Executive Management pathway in the future. His dedication to leadership development and elevating the member experience make him a perfect fit for our club. Excited to return to the Midwest, Ben looks forward to becoming part of our community here in Terre Haute. Outside of golf, he enjoys going to the gym, cooking, cheering on the Green Bay Packers, and spending time with friends. He can be reached at 812-299-1558 or [email protected].
