The successful candidate has a unique opportunity over the next 10 years to have a lasting impact on municipal golf in this country.  The 3 courses managed by NLT have renovations planned by world-renowned architects Tom Doak, Beau Welling and Gil Hanse. The renovations will garner national attention and will represent what municipal golf can and should be.  Our new leader should be an exemplary communicator and manager of people who thinks strategically and understands the value in presenting a high quality product. The Golf Course Superintendent will work closely with the Director of Agronomy (DOA), Timothy Zurybida, to promote the best possible patron experience daily at East Potomac Golf Links. East Potomac Golf Links will be the final course to be renovated by NLT. Tom Doak has been tasked with reimagining the original Walter Travis design. The finished product will be a true reversible golf course located in the heart of SW Washington, DC. The facility is a pillar of the community and one of the busiest golf courses in the US. Because of the amount of play on the course, afternoon syringing is not an option. Work days are typically 8-9 hours during the week with an emphasis put on quality of life. East Potomac Golf Links has an 18 hole regulation golf course (Blue), a 9 hole executive golf course (White), a 9 hole par 3 golf course (Red) and the oldest continually running miniature golf course in the United States. The miniature golf course just went under a $1 million renovation and opened back up for play in September of 2024.

The Nation’s Capital Project is a long-term, full scale, capital investment project being undertaken over the coming years. NLT has collaborated with world-renowned architects Gil Hanse, Beau Welling, and Tom Doak on the renovated design of the three courses. Beyond renovation to course architecture and agronomy, the project encompasses major infrastructure upgrades at all three facilities including construction of clubhouses, maintenance facilities, and driving ranges. The overarching theme of the project is an emphasis on community and a core belief that public golf facilities should have immense positive effects on their local communities. Golf Course Backgrounds Rock Creek Park Golf -   Originally designed by golden age architect, William Flynn, Rock Creek Park Golf will be renovated under the direction of Gil Hanse.  The finished facility will be home to a nine-hole course paying homage to Flynn’s design, a Par-3 course, driving range and clubhouse/restaurant for the entire community.   Langston Golf Course – Opened in 1939 as a course for Black golfers to play in the age of segregation, National Links Trust’s renovation will honor the history and showcase the future of Black golf.  The finished facility will include an 18-hole course designed by Beau Welling, a driving range powered by Toptracer and innovative Black golf museum.   East Potomac Golf Links – East Potomac was designed as a “model municipal playground” by golden age architect, Walter Travis in the early 1900’s.  Tom Doak will lead the restoration project.  The finished facility will include a reversible 18-hole course, executive-length 9-hole course, par-3 course, driving range, restored miniature golf course and golf academy.  Please visit the websites to learn more: www.nationallinkstrust.org     www.playdcgolf.com Position Summary The Golf Course Superintendent is responsible to implement sound agronomic programs in accordance with Troon Quality Standards while working within the fiscal parameters of the property.  This position is responsible for assisting the DOA in agronomic oversight of East Potomac Golf Links.  Responsible for leading and inspiring all agronomic associates in a manner that is consistent with the Trust’s Mission, Vision and Core Values to foster and engage employee culture.  Responsible for the management of golf course assets while executing short term and long term projects at East Potomac Golf Links.
