(NJ) Assistant Supt. – Morris County Golf Club – Morristown, NJ

The Opportunity

Morris County Golf Club is seeking an experienced, motivated Assistant Golf Course Superintendent to serve as one of two lead assistants, sharing equal responsibility for course operations, crew leadership, and course improvements.

This position is ideal for an established assistant seeking a new environment or someone developing toward their first superintendent role. We value initiative, teamwork, sound judgment, and a desire to learn.

Shared Leadership and Weekly Rotation

Our assistants alternate weekly between two areas of responsibility:

• Team leadership: Manage our 18-person crew, organize daily assignments, train employees, and oversee course preparation and quality.
• Operations and projects: Focus on chemical and fertilizer applications, moisture management, irrigation repairs, improvement projects, and business management.

Both assistants work closely together to maintain continuity and share decision-making responsibilities. The rotation provides broad management experience and includes every other weekend off.

Professional Development and Upcoming Projects

The superintendent, Nick LeViere, works directly with each assistant to build on strengths, address areas needing improvement, and prepare for future career opportunities. Development may include crew leadership, budgeting, agronomics, construction, and contractor coordination, with honest feedback and increasing responsibility.

In 2027, the club plans a full irrigation-system replacement and the rebuilding of select green and tee complexes under architect Jaeger Kovich. The incoming assistant will participate in planning, contractor coordination, construction oversight, and returning renovated areas to play while supporting daily course operations.

About the Club

Founded in 1894 and originally organized and operated by women, Morris County Golf Club is a private, 18-hole club with a distinctive place in American golf history. An early USGA member and the first New Jersey venue to host a national championship, the club’s course reflects the architectural legacy of Charles Blair Macdonald and Seth Raynor.

Morris County hosted the 106th New Jersey Open Championship in July 2026. Our team continues to build on that tradition through thoughtful improvements that preserve the course’s character while advancing conditioning and playability.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, train, and supervise staff while maintaining a safe, organized work environment.
• Oversee daily course preparation, turf health, moisture management, and irrigation.
• Perform and document chemical and fertilizer applications.
• Troubleshoot irrigation issues and assist with construction and improvement projects.
• Operate equipment safely and train employees in proper use and care.
• Assist with budgeting, purchasing, inventory, and labor planning.
• Communicate effectively with the superintendent, fellow assistant, equipment manager, and crew.
