Golf Course Superintendent

Full-time

About The Club:

Tucked in one of California’s most treasured valleys, the sprawling grounds and exquisite architecture usher you into an oasis of tradition and elegance, offering breathtaking views and awe-inspiring landscapes. Set on 148 acres, Green Valley Country Club boasts a Championship golf course and is the only private country club in Solano County. The club features a pre-Civil War grand Mansion that has been transformed into our clubhouse, with views of the rolling hills and the spectacular facilities creating a relaxing setting for members and guests.
The pride and joy of the Club is the immaculate 18-hole, par 72, tree-lined Championship golf course that surrounds the Mansion Clubhouse. Green Valley Country Club has a variety of events to suit every member. The Club has hosted numerous USGA Championship Qualifiers, including the US Senior Open, the US Women’s Open as well as the US Amateur, Mid-Amateur, Senior Amateur and Women’s Senior Amateur. The Club also has an impressive list of over 150 USGA Championships that have been participated in by current and past members, including two past USGA Champions.
The golf course had several plans drawn up by Golf Course Architect Elmer Borders, but the course ultimately was opened in 1951 with the design being done by the caretaker of the Sidney Jones Ranch, a Mr. White. He utilized plywood and clay models to sculpt green contours and bunker shapes. The Club has had further renovations completed by Architects Robert Muir Graves and Damian Pascuzzo.
