This bustling property, with a large membership, consists of two eighteen hole championship courses, a nine hole executive course, a state of the art golf practice facility, a fitness center with aquatics, and one of the area's finest tennis facilities.
We are currently looking for a Golf Course Assistant Superintendent where we promise you will grow as a turfgrass manager. You will be joining a team with five managers on site who have nearly ninety seasons of combined greenkeeping experience.

The DuPont course, which was renovated by Lester George in the mid 2000’s, is a modern layout where the fairways and tees are L-93 bentgrass and the USGA constructed greens are a mix of the A1/A4 bentgrass varieties. Nemours, which is the other 18 hole championship course is a golden age, parkland style track with Ryegrass as the primary turfgrass surface on tees and fairways and the modified soil push up greens are a mix of poa annua and old school bents. The 9 hole Montchanin course is an executive style layout with modified soil push up greens mixed with poa annua and older varieties of bent. Dominant bentgrass is the surface being managed on the fairways, and the tees, which are unirrigated, are Riviera Bermudagrass. And last but not least is the state of the art practice facility with 1.5 acres of 007 bentgrass driving range tees and a 4 acre short game practice area.
