2nd Assistant Superintendent
Thorny Lea Golf Club is a Wayne Stiles/John Van Kleek design established in 1900 but the current design is from 1925. A parkland style golf course situated in the city of Brockton, Thorny Lea is a hidden gem. Touted as having one of the best golfing memberships in the state; the club has many past state tournament winners along with a past women's mid-amateur champion and a men's mid-amateur champion.
The successful candidate can expect to work closely to the superintendent and other assistant(s) to achieve the goals set for that day. In the event the superintendent is away from the property, the assistant will help with managing the golf course. This is not only a supervisory role since we are a smaller operation. The assistant will be expected to be able to manage the crew while performing other duties such as course set up, water management (hand watering) or product application.
Extended hours can be expected during the growing season (April - October), and a more flexible, relaxed work schedule during the winter months.
A master plan was completed for the course in 2015 with Ian Andrew. We have been implementing portions of the plan since 2016. In fall of 2022 we completed a full bunker renovation with Better Billy Bunker liner. A new Toro 2 wire irrigation system was installed and finished in 2020. The club is committed to doing master plan work every year. We are constructing 9 new bunkers this fall and have over a million dollars of work out to bid to be completed in the coming years.
