Seasonal Intern

 

Brook Hollow Golf Club

Summer Internship

Brook Hollow Golf Club, founded in 1920, is one of the preeminent private member-owned golf clubs in the southwestern United States. Brook Hollow has hosted significant golf tournaments, including multiple Trans-Miss championships, the USGA Mid-Am, and many USGA and Texas Golf Association championships/qualifiers. This July, we will Co-Host the U.S. Junior Amateur with Trinity Forest Golf Club.

 In 2020, Brook Hollow completed a golf course renovation to restore the original A.W. Tillinghast design characteristics from the 1920s. The project included a new Toro 2-wire irrigation system. Fairways, tees, and roughs were all resurfaced with Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass. The greens are 7-7-7 bentgrass with sub-air and hydronic systems to control sub-surface temperature and air/gas exchange. This is an excellent opportunity for someone to learn turfgrass management using state-of-the-art technologies.
