I am excited for what Morris County Golf Club has to offer potential interns in regards to quality of work life, hands on experience, and project management.  All of our current goals and projects will culminate in the exciting opportunity to host the 2026 NJ State Open, and we are looking for the right candidate to work alongside us towards our goals.      Every season our goal for an intern is to allow freedom and flexibility so they can focus in areas where they feel they need additional exposure and training.  If you are looking to gain something specific out of the upcoming season please feel free to reach out and see how we could work together.
