Assistant Superintendent

Woodholme Country Club features an amazing 18-hole golf course designed by Herbert Strong. Founded in 1927, much of the original layout is still in place today. In addition to the golf course, the club has a modern clubhouse, 15 tennis courts, and many additional amenities. The club is investing in a $2.5 million irrigation system set to be installed October 2026. Many additions to the golf course will be added over the next several years that are set to include tee‑box build/relocations, architectural features, as well as short‑grass expansions.

This is a great opportunity for an emerging Assistant Superintendent to gain hands‑on experience with golf‑course agronomics, architecture, irrigation install, and enhance playability standards.
