About Chef Michael Hoefer:
I grew up in Parsippany, New Jersey, about 30 minutes outside of New York City. My father was a baker and I began working with him in high school during the summers as a part time job. After a couple of summers working with my father he was able to get me a job at a Sheraton hotel in the kitchen. I enjoyed working in the kitchen and thought it might be something I would like to make a career of. I spent two years working in New York City and then moved out west to Arizona. I worked as line cook at the Top of the Rock Restaurant at the Buttes Resort for a few years and decided I wanted to move to the Bay Area. I live in Petaluma and began working at Marin Country Club in 2002 and became Executive Chef in 2006.
Marin Country Club is nestled in beautiful Marin County California. Just an easy 35-minute drive north of San Francisco, our weather is pleasant and sunny at least 10 months out of the year. We have an outstanding 18-hole Golf Course, computerized indoor/outdoor training facility on the driving range, state-of-the-art Fitness Center, four Tennis Courts, three pristine Pools, fully stocked Pro Shop and an elegant Clubhouse
