Golf Course Superintendent
Job Details
About the Role
Hidden Valley Golf Club is hiring a Golf Course Superintendent to lead our entire maintenance operation: the course, the equipment barn, and the team that runs both. This is a management role. We need a superintendent with enough technical command of course maintenance to direct it with authority, but we value leadership, disciplined operations, and the judgment to make sound decisions without waiting to be told.
What We're Looking For
In order of priority:
- Technical Expertise: Deep, hands-on knowledge of turfgrass science, agronomy, irrigation systems, and equipment, to diagnose a problem anywhere on the course and direct the fix.
- Leadership & Culture: Runs the barn: sets the tone, drives process improvements, and builds a team that's disciplined and accountable.
- Supervisory Management: Builds smart schedules, organizes crews, maximizes labor hours, and communicates clearly with both leadership and staff.
- Autonomy & Ownership: Makes sound decisions independently, owns the outcomes, and acts without waiting to be told.
Business acumen is a plus, not a requirement. We'll teach it. What we can't teach is judgment, discipline, and leadership.
Job Benefits
• $75,000 minimum base salary, commensurate with experience.
• Year-round schedule with weekend and holiday work as needed; supportive work-life-balance culture.
• Nine paid holidays annually and Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Professional membership dues reimbursed (e.g., GCSAA), up to $1,500 annually.
