Eli joined our team in October 2021. Eli was born and raised in Ohio and began working on golf courses at the age of 17. Following four seasons at the renowned Kirtland Country Club, Eli decided to pursue a career in the golf course management industry full-time. He moved to Bethlehem, PA to help prepare Saucon Valley Country Club for the 2009 U.S. Women’s Open Championship.
After four years and 3 golf course renovations at Saucon Valley, Eli decided to head south to
experience “warm season grasses,” beginning at Avila Golf and Country Club in
Tampa. Over the past 10 years in Florida, Eli has overseen the renovation
of each club he has worked at, most recently taking the lead at Cypress Creek
Golf Club in Ruskin, Florida, after overseeing the North Course renovations at The
Club at Mediterra in Naples. Eli, his wife, Amanda, and two beautiful daughters, Gwyndolyn (6) and Penelope (2), are all very excited to make the move to Englewood and join the team at Lemon Bay!
