Assistant Superintendent

Wampanoag Country Club an 18-hole private club in West Hartford CT, is seeking a highly motivated assistant superintendent.  Wampanoag has a deep tradition of being a premier private club in the West Hartford area.  We have over 350 members, and the club celebrated its centennial celebration last season.  The club is currently constructing a new clubhouse with anticipated opening in the fall of 2025.  The golf course is a Donald Ross gem, which underwent a 4.5 million dollar restoration in 2023 by architect Tyler Rae.  The restoration added over 1.3 acres of putting surface, 11 acres of new fairway extensions, and realigned all putting surfaces, and bunkers to their original Ross design. Plans for a new maintenance facility are in the early stages of planning.  The putting surfaces are a combination of poa/bentgrass with three brand new USGA 007 bentgrass greens.   The irrigation system is a two-wire Toro system with all HDPE piping completed in 2018.  The maintenance staff consists of ten seasonal employees and six full-time employees.  Improving drainage on the golf course is priority number one. 

Wampanoag is seeking a self-motivated, positive team player to join our maintenance team.  The candidate will assist the superintendent in every facet of the management team including recruiting, hiring, training, record keeping, spray and fertilizer applications, and irrigation repairs.  The assistant will be encouraged to attend yearly seminars, conferences, and continuing education opportunities.  The goal is to help the assistant to take the next step in their careers, while managing a high-performance team on a daily basis. Current superintendent has moved three assistants to superintendent positions in the last seven years.  We believe in a work/life balance at Wampanoag, and all assistants will get every other weekend off in season as well as flexibility with scheduling.
