By APOGEE, October 27 - updated November 18 - Hobe Sound, Florida

Working with Tony Nysse, APOGEE Director of Golf Courses & Grounds, and the golf course construction team of Fazio & Davis Golf Design, we are searching for a Construction Superintendent, North Course, who has a strong background in golf course construction and golf course agronomy. APOGEE is the vision and passion of two highly successful businessmen, Mr. Michael Pascucci & Mr. Stephen Ross.  APOGEE is a 1200-acre, high-end, private golf club with country club amenities such as a pool, spa, fitness, racquet sports and fishing.  The club is located in Hobe Sound, FL, and will have two clubhouses with world-class food & beverage, 50+ overnight cottages and a state-of-the-art golf performance center.  It will be a club without peers in the greater south Florida area.    APOGEE’s golf entails three 18-hole golf courses.  The West Course, designed by Gil Hanse & Jim Wagner, opened in December of 2023.  The team of Tom Fazio II & Mike Davis, who also oversee the in-house golf construction team, has designed and built the South Course and a 55-acre, 360-degree driving range and 5-acre short game area that will also open in November of 2024. There is also a 7-hole (short) Wee Course and a Himalayas-style putting green that will open at the end of this year.  The third 18-hole golf course (North Course) has been designed by Kyle Phillips. The clearing phase for the North Course has already commenced with a target opening of late 2025.  A second Short Course (12-hole) will be constructed in late 2025/early 2026 and opened in 2026. We are currently looking for a candidate with a strong golf course construction background. This candidate must be knowledgeable in drainage grades (with GPS), working with large construction equipment, working with shapers, managing/ordering construction materials & must be able to speak Spanish. This is a management position involved with quality control of putting green and bunker construction, drainage, sand capping, and grassing.  An ideal candidate would have long-term employment at APOGEE’s agronomy staff.  The start date would be late 2024/early 2025.  Club-provided housing is available.
