Seasonal Intern

Sleepy Hollow Country Club is a private, 27-hole C.B. MacDonald original design overlooking the Hudson River in Scarborough, New York.  SHCC is currently ranked 59th in the United States by Golf Digest, and 70th in the world by Golf Magazine.  The 338 acre property consists of a championship 18-hole Upper Course and an executive 9-hole Lower Course.  Hanse Golf Course Design completed a restoration of the Upper Course in 2016 that converted the greens construction to USGA specification while utilizing the original poa sod.  The Lower Course still consists of native soil push-up greens, offering candidates an opportunity to manage both sand-constructed USGA greens and hundred year old native soil greens on the same property.

The Fall/Winter internship program at Sleepy Hollow Country Club aims to expose candidates to numerous course improvement projects, and allows interns to participate in agronomic practices to prepare the golf course for both the winter and the following year's growing season.  Interns can expect to be involved in projects such as:

• Core aeration, deep-tine aeration, drill & fill, and verti-cutting on all playing surfaces
• In-house tee reconstructions
• Native area restorations/renovations
• Irrigation system upgrades and audits
• In-house drainage installation
• Rock-ledge removal in fairways and roughs
• Nursery green renovation/construction
• Winter chemical/fertilizer program
• Bunker bank/green surround re-grassing
• Irrigation system winterization process
• Educational seminars/workshops with industry leaders
• Equipment management/off-season maintenance practices
• GPS data collection and management
• Long term planning, budget forecasting, and chemical inventory management

Engaged interns will open more doors as they progress, and it is our hope that interns will seize the opportunity to convert their internship into a full time assistant superintendent position.  This is a great opportunity for both first year interns and post-graduates alike looking for a fast-paced environment to elevate and hone their skills as they work towards achieving their career goals.
