Assistant Superintendent
Job Details
Metedeconk National Golf Club is seeking an Assistant Superintendent to join a high-performing team managing a detail-oriented and demanding property.
The club is committed to maintaining elite daily playing conditions and has been selected to host the 2029 USGA Four-Ball Championship, reflecting the long-term standard of the golf course and operation.
This position is focused on daily course conditioning and requires a high level of consistency, preparation, and attention to detail. Responsibilities include course setup and execution, irrigation management and troubleshooting, crew leadership, and active involvement in agronomic programs.

The position will also provide exposure to large-scale infrastructure and improvement projects, including coordination with contractors and involvement in planning and execution. This is an opportunity to gain experience beyond day-to-day maintenance and develop a broader operational skill set.
The operation is supported by a new John Deere equipment fleet, allowing the team to execute at a high level with the proper resources in place.
