Seasonal Intern
Job Details
Interns will be directly involved with the day-to-day maintenance of an 18-hole private championship Donald Ross-designed golf course (poa/ bentgrass greens, tees, and fairways) and a 9-hole Par 3 Course (warm season Tahoma 31 fairways and tees, and bentgrass putting greens). Interns will work closely with the Superintendent and Assistants in planning, scheduling, and daily operating procedures. Calibration, pesticide applications, fertilizing, water management, course setup, and cultural practices will be the core of the internship. This position will allow the individual to get their “feet wet” in all aspects of golf course maintenance. The opportunity to lead small crews and motivate staff members will help interns prepare for their next step as an Assistant-In-Training or Assistant Superintendent. Candidates can expect to work typically 50-60 hours per week with every other weekend OFF.
