This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about advancing their careers and developing the skills needed to become successful Superintendents.

The Country Club of Virginia is looking for an individual to help facilitate the continuous improvement of our golf courses, helping provide an exceptional experience for our members and guests. Assistant Superintendents will have the opportunity to be hands-on in every aspect of golf course management. Qualified candidates will help plan and monitor all maintenance activities and expenses associated with golf course operations including supplies, chemicals, and fertilizers.

The Assistant Superintendent’s responsibilities will include but are not limited to, managing the crew, moisture management, pesticide and fertilizer applications, drainage designs and installations, implementing cultural practices, course construction projects, etc. At CCV, we are fortunate to have an irrigation department, in-house arborists, and a robust shop maintenance operation.
