Assistant Golf Course Superintendent
Twice, Lakeland, TN, United States
Lakeland Golf Club is seeking a driven, hands‑on
Assistant Golf Course Superintendent
who is ready to make a real impact. Our George Cobb‑designed course has been a fixture in the Mid‑South for more than 50 years, and we are committed to restoring it to the level of conditioning and playability it deserves. This is a rare opportunity for someone who wants to grow quickly, take ownership, and become a strong superintendent candidate within the next few years.
About the Opportunity
The course needs focused attention, fresh energy, and someone who takes pride in elevating turf quality. You will work directly with the Golf Pro and ownership to bring the course back to its former glory—improving playing conditions, implementing agronomic plans, and helping lead a team that cares about doing things the right way.
This role is ideal for someone who wants responsibility, visibility, and a clear path to advancement.
Key Responsibilities
Assist in all daily golf course maintenance operations
Lead and train staff in mowing, bunker care, cultural practices, and course setup
Support irrigation system maintenance, troubleshooting, and scheduling
Help execute agronomic programs including fertilization, chemical applications, and turf health monitoring
Maintain equipment standards and ensure safe working practices
Contribute ideas, identify opportunities for improvement, and take initiative in course recovery projects
What We're Looking For
Experience in golf course maintenance or turfgrass management
Strong work ethic and willingness to be hands‑on
Ability to lead, motivate, and communicate effectively with staff
Curiosity, problem‑solving mindset, and desire to learn
Passion for turf quality and pride in course presentation
Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends and early mornings
Qualifications
1-3 years of golf course maintenance experience
Turfgrass, Agronomy, Horticulture, or related degree preferred (experience may substitute)
Ability to obtain or currently hold a state pesticide applicator license
Working knowledge of irrigation systems and basic troubleshooting
Experience with mowing equipment and cultural practices
Strong communication skills and ability to lead small teams
Reliable, self‑motivated, and willing to work early mornings and weekends
Passion for turf quality, course presentation, and continuous learning
Why This Role Stands Out
Real opportunity to make a difference
– your work will be visible and meaningful
Accelerated career growth
– ideal for someone who wants to become a Superintendent
Direct mentorship
from leadership committed to your development
A course with history and potential
– and you'll be part of its comeback story
Preferred Skills
GCSAA membership or interest in pursuing it
Experience with renovation or course recovery projects
Basic mechanical aptitude
Comfort with turf technology (moisture meters, GPS sprayers, etc.)
