We are looking for an individual with an open mindset, strong initiative, and a desire to grow. The ideal candidate should be a forward thinker and self‑starter who thrives in a team‑oriented environment.

The Country Club recently began a major clubhouse renovation that includes installation of a geothermal well field beneath the 15th fairway. Restoring this hole will require new irrigation, drainage, and design work – offering significant project management experience. The Club will also host two USGA championships within the next eight years, providing valuable exposure to championship‑level preparation.
