New General Manager at Rolling Road Golf Club

David Ray, who has a wealth of experience in the private club industry, took over in March.

A new general manager took over the Rolling Road Golf Club a month ago. David Ray had his eyes on the job for quite some time, according to the club. “He thinks this club has terrific potential and he believes it will be a truly great place to work,” said club president John Ward in an email. Ray has been clubhouse manager at the Hillendale Country Club in Phoenix, assistant general manager at the Suburban Club in Pikesville, worked at the Crofton Country Club and has food and beverage training for Hilton Hotels. “David has great people skills, he is a golfer himself, has three beautiful young children and resides near the Severna Park area,” Ward wrote. “Stop by and say hello to him the next time you are around the club.”
