The Golf Course Superintendent is the senior agronomic leader responsible for the overall condition, presentation, and long-term health of the entire golf course, practice facilities, and associated grounds, as well as the leadership and development of the golf maintenance team. This leader sets the agronomic vision and daily execution standard for the department - planning, organizing, and directing all course maintenance operations to deliver consistent, exemplary playing conditions that reflect Brasada Ranch's standing as a premier resort and residential community.

As the resort continues to grow, the Superintendent is expected not only to maintain, but to actively elevate course conditions, championing continuous improvement, sound environmental stewardship, and thoughtful capital and renovation planning. The Superintendent oversees the equipment maintenance and repair operation, procures supplies and materials within budgetary limits, maintains records of all maintenance activities and costs, prepares and presents the annual golf course maintenance and capital budgets, and leads all recruiting and talent acquisition for the department.

• Establish and execute a comprehensive agronomic plan (fertility, cultural practices, aerification, topdressing, plant protect ant, and water management programs) that delivers consistent, championship-level playing conditions across greens, tees, fairways, roughs, and bunkers.
• Set and uphold clearly defined daily and seasonal course setup and conditioning standards, adjusting proactively for weather, play volume, seasonality, and the demands of a high desert climate.
• Continuously assess turf health, soil conditions, and course presentation, using data and best practices to both elevate quality and protect the long-term health of the property.
• Lead planning and execution of course improvement, renovation, and grow-in projects as the resort expands, partnering with ownership and leadership on scope, timeline, and capital needs.

• Recruit, hire, train, schedule, and develop a high-performing maintenance team, including any assistant superintendent(s), equipment technician(s), spray technician(s), and seasonal crew.
• Provide clear direction, performance feedback, and ongoing coaching, building bench strength and a culture of accountability, safety, and pride in the work.
• Foster effective employee relations and a positive, collaborative team environment aligned with Brasada's culture and values.

• Direct the operation, preventive maintenance, and repair of all golf course equipment and the maintenance shop, ensuring reliability, safety, and cost efficiency.
• Procure and manage inventory of machinery, chemicals, parts, fertilizers, materials, and supplies, and supervise their proper, compliant, and safe use.
• Maintain accurate records of maintenance activities, chemical and fertilizer applications, water usage, equipment hours, and associated costs.

• Manage irrigation and pump station operations to optimize turf health and playability while responsibly conserving water in a high desert environment.
• Ensure full compliance with all federal, state (Oregon ODA/DEQ), and local environmental, chemical handling, storage, and application regulations.
• Champion sustainable and environmentally responsible maintenance practices consistent with the resort's values and any applicable certification or stewardship programs.

• Prepare, present, and manage the annual golf course maintenance operating budget and capital budget, and maintain appropriate administrative controls over budget, labor, and inventory.
• Monitor expenditures against budget throughout the year, forecasting and adjusting to hit financial targets without compromising conditions.
