Spend your workdays cruising palm-lined paths, soaking up sunshine, and being part of the action at one of the most beautiful resorts on the Emerald Coast! As a Resort Golf Cart Inspector at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, you play an important role in ensuring our guests enjoy a seamless vacation experience from arrival to departure. This position focuses on the inspection, delivery, and upkeep of golf carts provided with short-term rental properties throughout the resort—not for golf operations.
