Roger Hailstork and Tara Venditti, co-interim leaders of Auxiliary Services, announced today that Drumlins Country Club’s Operations Manager, Randy King, has been promoted to the position of Director as of November 15, 2022. King has served in this position in an interim capacity since July, 2022.
Operationally, King will ensure that the club’s members, guests, visitors, and neighbors who play golf or tennis, enjoy the pool, dine at Bistro 1926, or host an event, tournament, or camp will enjoy a first-rate experience.
“We will continue to add value to our members and guests by incorporating new amenities and facilitating necessary upgrades, all while focusing on improving the experience we offer to SU students, faculty, and staff,” said King. “It is paramount that we keep our club up-to-date and current with member expectations, while preserving its traditional warmth and heritage.”
Internally, King aims to build a team that is dedicated to member services, Drumlins’ amenities, and best-in-class hospitality.
“I am a firm believer in providing people with purpose, engagement, and empowerment to thrive and feel happy while performing at a high level,” King said.
A Central New York native, King spent the last 20 years in leadership positions focusing on sales and hospitality throughout the country, including stops in Denver and Ft. Lauderdale. He held the role of Operations Manager at Drumlins since his arrival at the club in April 2022.
Kris Klinger, Senior Associate Vice President for Auxiliary Services, announced two changes to the department’s leadership team and named interim leaders to head Drumlins Country Club and the University’s Food Services and Hospitality department.
Eamon Lee Named Interim Executive Director of Hospitality
Executive Director of Hospitality Jon Webster will depart Syracuse University effective July 15, 2022. Webster articulated a forward-thinking vision of Hospitality and Food Services at Syracuse University, and consistently demonstrated his passion for helping the Food Services department grow and flourish. Executive Chef Eamon Lee will step into the interim role as executive director while a search begins for a permanent leader. Chef Lee will continue the work he and Webster began, including a comprehensive review and refresh of residential dining services that will roll out throughout the 2022-23 academic year. He is an enthusiastic member of the Syracuse University community, a man who bleeds orange and will offer steady guidance to the Food Services department throughout the transition period.
Randy King Named Interim Director of Drumlins Country Club
Chris Myslow has concluded his time at Syracuse University as director of Drumlins Country Club. As the club’s Board of Directors begins the search for a new director, Klinger has asked Randy King to step in as the club’s interim director.
King, who has held the role of Director of Operations at Drumlins since April 2022, has previous leadership experience at other country clubs. His willingness to dive in at Drumlins and hit the ground running will ensure that the club’s members, guests, visitors, and neighbors who play golf or tennis, enjoy the pool, dine at the bistro or host an event, tournament or camp will continue to enjoy a first-rate experience. Randy will work closely with department leaders at the club to act as a conduit to relay information and solicit guidance between staff and Klinger and the Drumlins Board of Directors.
Auxiliary Services will provide further updates when permanent leaders for Drumlins and Food Services have been identified.

For years, members of the University community have enjoyed the use of the trail system around the golf course at Drumlins Country Club for hiking, jogging, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The trails, which are open to use from sunrise to sunset, are also a resource utilized by the greater Central New York community.
Over the past few months, Auxiliary Services and a team from Campus Planning, Design and Construction have undertaken an effort to add modifications to the area for the safety of those who utilize the trail system. A fence has been installed along the south side of the 13th tee of the East Course to protect individuals from the sharp drop-off in the area. Signage has been posted at several trailheads and areas where community members enter the property to outline safe usage of the trail system. Additional signage about dangerous drop-offs, especially in the area surrounding the neighboring stone quarry, will be installed soon.
