Northeast Harbor Golf Club is seeking a motivated Junior Assistant Golf Course Superintendent to serve as the third-in-command and future day-to-day operational lead at our historic coastal Maine golf course.
Founded in 1895, NEHGC is an 18-hole facility featuring original designs by Arthur Lockwood (1916) and Herbert Strong (1925). Though measuring just 5,602 yards, the course provides a strategic challenge with undulating fairways and small greens. Once a hidden gem, the club has seen increased play and continues to invest in long-term course improvements.
Why NEHGC
Supportive membership willing to invest in infrastructure
Superintendent committed to mentorship and work/life balance
Located adjacent to Acadia National Park with exceptional outdoor recreation
You will be included in every meeting with reps. I’m bringing you here to learn. Not just work.
Position Summary The Assistant Superintendent will work closely with the Superintendent, Sr Assistant, and Head Golf Professional and will play a central role in daily maintenance operations, staff supervision, and agronomic programs.
In the 2027 season, the Assistant Superintendent is expected to fully manage day-to-day golf course operations
while the Superintendent oversees a full irrigation system installation, offering a rare opportunity to lead during a major capital project with mentorship and support.
Major Projects
Fall 2025 completed pond enlargement (0.3 ac → 0.9 ac) to serve as irrigation water source
Full irrigation system replacement in 2027, including HDPE piping, two-wire control, and installation by National Golf Sprinkler
