By Nantucket Golf Club, January 6 - updated January 28 - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Nantucket Golf Club is a private and exclusive golf club located on an island 30 miles from Cape Cod.  Nantucket has been continuously ranked as the ‘best island’ and ‘top island’ of the US and World. It is a unique and beautiful place to spend a summer. The course was designed by Rees Jones and was named ‘Best New Private Golf Course’ by Golf Digest. We continually improve the course through capital projects. This past offseason, we finished a complete renovation of our bunkers. During the Spring of 2025, we will complete a much smaller bunker project, which will focus on refining a handful of bunkers, while adding a few new bunkers. We began our irrigation replacement project (Toro 2-wire system) after Labor Day, with planned completion by May of 2025. We began to restore our irrigation pond on our 8th hole in the Spring of 2024 and will complete that project this fall. This is a great opportunity for the right student to experience state of the art golf course management practices, facilities, equipment, and construction and project management. Our goal is for every intern to be prepared for an assistant’s position after completing an internship at our club.  We provide a positive working environment and provide the necessary instruction for learning. The opportunity for advancement to an assistant’s position at the club is available for the right candidate.

By Morris County Golf Club, December 23, 2024 - updated January 27 - Morristown, New Jersey

Morris County Golf Club is a classic 18 hole golf course designed by CB Macdonald/Seth Raynor.  The club itself was established in 1894, with its current layout of holes being finished by Raynor around 1916.  Our goal in the grounds department is to create a partnership with an individual that wants to learn more about the turf industry and the day to day needs for golf course turf managment.  We intend this to be a true partnership of respect and opportunity for growth.  We know an intern can become a valued part of our management team thorughout a summer season and we want to support an individual through that experience no matter what their current skills are.  A summer intern can expect to learn more about applications (fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, etc.), mowing practices, course setup, tournament preparations, cultural practices, business management, project management, moisture management, and crew/team leadership.  We also have a recently updated world class maintenance facility that includes renonvations thorughout our existing areas alongside brand NEW adminstration and environmental buildings. I am excited for what Morris County Golf Club has to offer potential interns in regards to quality of work life, hands on experience, and project management.  All of our current goals and projects will be culminating in the exciting opportunity to host the 2026 NJ State Open, and we are looking for the right candidate to work alongside us towards our goals.      Every season our goal for an intern is to allow freedom and flexability so they can focus in areas where they feel they need additional exposure and training.  If you are looking to gain something specific out of the upcoming season please feel free to reach out and see how we could work together.
