We expect interns to be self-starters and have a desire to maintain two golf courses at major championship conditioning. This is an excellent opportunity to join a team that is preparing to host the U.S. Open in 2028. We strongly believe in retention and promotion from within our team. Our goal is to help you gain the skills and knowledge to become a successful Golf Course Superintendent in your career.
