Korey Korosec, Pro Shop Manager 

Growing up in the Freeport area, Korey fell in love with the game of golf at a very young age. As a child, Korey made his way through every course in the area, including The Freeport Club, and participated in as many golf tournaments and events as he possibly could.

As soon as Korey was old enough to work he aimed his sights on the Pro Shop at The Freeport Club and quickly fell in love with the course and the job.

Given his passion for the game, and his love for the Freeport Club, Korey was the natural choice for the Pro Shop Manager position when it became available and he’s been enjoying every second of it.
