Assistant Superintendent
Hermitage Country Club was established in 1900. The club now boasts exemplary facilities including 36 holes of championship golf, indoor and outdoor tennis, pickleball, swimming and expansive dining outlets. Hermitage is a family-oriented club with an acute focus on providing the best possible experience day in and day out.
The Sabot Golf Course consists mainly of Vamont bermudagrass. In 2021 and 2022 in conjunction with a full HDPE Rainbird irrigation installation, the greens were converted to Pure Eclipse bentgrass. A bunker renovation was just completed with Capillary Concrete. A brand new 2,400 square foot breakroom was just completed for the staff.
The Manakin Course underwent a conversion from cool season grasses to Latitude 36 bermudagrass fairways and rough in July 2019. 55 acres of short grass are all mowed together producing a unique and amazingly conditioned golf course. The Manakin greens remained A-1 bent grass. A bunker renovation using Capillary Concrete is currently ongoing along with an in-house irrigation control system changeover to Rainbird 2 wire.
