Assistant Superintendent

The Club at Castlewood is seeking an experienced Assistant Superintendent to join our team and work closely with the Director of Agronomy and two course Superintendents on a daily basis. The Club at Castlewood is a Troon managed, 36-hole facility located in Pleasanton, California with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains and valley.

The chosen candidate will have a unique opportunity to experience both cool season and warm season turf maintenance with our Valley Course maintaining bermudagrass and Hill Course maintaining cool season turf. They will assist the Director of Agronomy in prioritization of projects and maintenance on both golf courses. Greens on both courses are a combination of poa/bent. This will give the Assistant Superintendent high level experience with almost all of the turf grasses found in the state of California.

At the Club at Castlewood, we believe in a work/life balance and our Assistant Superintendent will be afforded 2 days off every week for most of the year. With locations such as Lake Tahoe, Napa, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Yosemite National Park, Monterrey, and more destinations all within a 3-hour drive from Pleasanton, there is no shortage of things to do outside of work. Pleasanton itself has a quaint downtown area and is exactly as the name suggests: pleasant.

The club has recently completed a clubhouse renovation and has poised itself to stand up to the number of other incredible golf courses in the northern California area. The person who fills this position will need to have an ability to lead, a great attention to detail, be excellent communicators, have a robust work ethic, and willingness to do what’s needed on a daily basis to provide our membership with fantastic playing conditions. In addition, being able to have fun on the job with a positive attitude and outlook is a must-have. The Assistant Superintendent will also have an active role in the national and local associations by attending Northern California GCSA meetings and the opportunity to volunteer for PGA/USGA events to expand their network. The ideal candidate will want to further their career by moving on to a Golf Course Superintendent/Director of Agronomy.
