A Better Place to Build Your Career
Salisbury Country Club is seeking a positive, motivated golf course maintenance professional who wants to contribute ideas, strengthen leadership skills, and help deliver outstanding playing conditions.
Our 27-hole facility offers a very active membership and provides valuable agronomic experience across bentgrass greens and warm-season zoysia and bermudagrass playing surfaces. Managing these grasses requires different agronomic strategies and offers an opportunity to develop a well-rounded understanding of turf management. We're also planning more than $24 million in infrastructure improvements over the next 10 years.
We believe great course conditions start with a great team. A degree isn't required. We value practical experience, a strong work ethic, and a positive attitude, and we're committed to supporting employees who want to continue their education and develop their skills.
Why Join Salisbury?
- A club built for the future: Salisbury is financially strong, carries no debt, and has a waiting list for membership.
- Meaningful investment: More than $24 million in planned infrastructure improvements over the next 10 years will help shape the future of the facility.
- Diverse agronomic experience: Gain exposure to bentgrass, zoysia, and bermudagrass, each requiring different approaches to fertility, irrigation, mowing, growth regulation, and pest management.
- A voice in how we work: We welcome fresh ideas, new approaches, and thoughtful improvements to traditional maintenance practices.
- A positive team culture: Our PRIDE values—Positivity, Respect, Integrity, Dependability, and Enthusiasm—guide how we work together.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist with daily maintenance and preparation of the golf course and practice facilities.
- Help develop and implement agronomic programs for bentgrass greens and warm-season zoysia and bermudagrass surfaces.
- Adjust maintenance practices to meet the different needs of each turfgrass variety, including mowing, irrigation, fertility, growth regulation, and pest management.
- Monitor turf health and playing conditions, evaluate results, and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Assist in supervising, training, and motivating maintenance staff.
- Contribute ideas and support course and infrastructure improvement projects.
- Promote safe, efficient operations while maintaining high standards of course conditioning.
