Assistant Superintendent
Holly Tree Country Club is a private club located in Simpsonville SC, just outside of Greenville. The course was designed by George Cobb and opened in 1973. In addition to a driving range, putting green, and chipping green, Holly Tree Country Club also offers a private skills area and short course.
We will be undergoing a major course renovation beginning in the Fall of 2025. The scope of this project will include: all greens complexes redesigned, new better billy bunkers, laser level all tee surfaces along with adding new tees, new naturalized areas will be installed, remedial design work on select holes, new irrigation, and some necessary tree work. Other minor upgrades will be completed as well. Greens surfaces, which are currently bentgrass, will be rebuilt to USGA specs and sprigged with TifEagle. Tahoma 31 will be installed around all greens and tees. All tees will be laser leveled, some will be repositioned, and some will be made larger. We will also be adding new tees on select holes. All greenside and fairway bunkers will be redesigned/repositioned and built back to Better Billy Bunker specs. The golf course will be closed for up to 12 months as we complete this renovation. This is a great opportunity for an assistant to advance in their career with renovation experience as he/she will be involved in all aspects of this project.
