Mr Hogg moves to Kingsbarns after leading the upscale Golf and Vital Park in Bad Waldsee in southern Germany for seven years, having earned an Open University diploma in golf business management in 2006 at the Institute of Sport, Recreation and Tourism in Dusseldorf.
Born and raised in Scotland, the former PGA touring golf professional and European Challenge Tour member is expected to take up his position in September.
Mr Hogg has also been active in coaching junior golfers and he was named coach of the year by the German PGA in 2002.

Mr Hogg, who is married to Audrey and has two teenage sons said he was "very much looking forward" to taking up his new role.
"It has deservedly earned a reputation as one of the finest golf courses in the world," he said.
