Assistant Superintendent
Job Details
Donald Ross was hired to design what is now Oconomowoc Golf Club (OGC). OGC dates back to 1916 where the original layout still exists on a marvelous rolling terrain. This 18-hole private country club offers a full-service clubhouse for its 200 members with a healthy waitlist, which has made the Club desired by many. Golf is OGC’s main offering, in which, the members continue to invest in the course and its equipment fleet. While continuing to update infrastructure and equipment, the course is undergoing a major bunker renovation project to restore and update the bunkers with Better Billy Bunker technology. The back nine has completed this Fall with the front nine continuing Spring 2026. The Club is also planning to add a new irrigation system within the next 5-10 years. What makes OGC unique is that members have an opportunity to own their own golf cart at the Club. Recently, the Club has hosted many WSGA and USGA events and of note, OGC has hosted the 2024 and 2025 USGA US Senior Open sectional qualifying event in June (one of 8 national sites). The course averages around 15,000 rounds, Toro irrigation and equipment, a newer watertronics pumpstation, and has unique memorial bentgrass fairways.
