ABOUT LOOKAWAY GOLF CLUB

Lookaway Golf Club (LGC), founded in 1999, boasts quite a history. The property itself dates to 1713, when it was deeded by William Penn (Deed #1 in Buckingham Township, PA) to Thomas Watson of Yorkshire, England. The building that serves as the Lookaway clubhouse was built sometime around 1752 and is believed to be the oldest building used as a clubhouse in the United States.

Over the course of the next 170 years, the property changed hands several times. In 1923, Theodore W. Sterling purchased an active dairy farm, known then as Paxon Farm. Mr. Sterling renamed the farm Lookaway and was well known to locals as a source of providing fresh milk. That milk was provided in bottles sporting a logo comprised of the entwined initials of the farm’s owner, Mr. Sterling. The logo remains as the symbol of the Lookaway Golf Club where the first rounds of golf were played in May of 1999.

Lookaway Golf Club offers pure golf in a rural setting, designed by internationally respected architect Rees Jones. The championship course, acclaimed by Golf Digest magazine as one of the top ranked courses in Pennsylvania, encompasses 230 acres and is defined by seclusion, tranquility, and a dedication to a unique golf club experience. Lookaway is a golf only club focusing on optimal playing conditions while averaging 14,500 rounds annually. 

The interns will work closely with the superintendent and assistants on a daily basis in all facets of golf course maintenance. Daily tasks will include, but not limited to: course set-up, hand watering, mowing, fertilizer/pesticide applications and calibrations, irrigation maintenance and repair, weed and disease identification and management, and insect monitoring and management.
