By Falls Road Golf Course, November 11 - Potomac, Maryland

The Montgomery County Revenue Authority (MCRA) has an opportunity to become a part of a dynamic team! MCRA was established in 1957 and is an instrumentality of Montgomery County and a public corporation. The Revenue Authority is a solutions management company that focuses on finance, operations, consulting, and connections.  On the operations side, the MCRA directly manages the Golf Course System (of 9 golf courses) and The Crossvines wine production facility and vineyard and operates the Montgomery County Airpark. MCRA’s Montgomery County Golf (MCG) division has an immediate opening for a Golf Course Superintendent with a COMPETITIVE compensation package. Falls Road Golf Course, an 18-hole Ed Ault design, first opened in 1961 and was redesigned in 2002-2003 by Dan Schlegel working with Ault, Clark & Associates.  The course covers 150 acres, was formerly a dairy farm, and was the first golf course in the MCRA portfolio. The agronomy crew members are seasoned, and many have been employed at Falls Road for over 10 years. The course features a combination of bent/poa pushup greens and USGA-spec greens, perennial ryegrass fairways, and mostly Latitude 36 bermudagrass tees. The double-row Rain Bird irrigation system with Nimbus II Central has been very reliable since its installation in 2002, and is supported by a Flowtronex pump station that will have a pump replacement completed in the spring.  Water supply is not an issue with the size of the irrigation pond. While this is a busy golf course, generally hosting 55,000+ rounds, it’s an efficient property to manage. From the bentgrass nursery at the highest point of the course, you have visibility of most of 10 golf holes. MCRA emphasizes a team environment, so equipment and staff sharing between the 9 courses can be done during project or aeration season as available. Each course has a truck and trailer to facilitate this. The strength of our team is our people! Our golf course agronomy teams are well-supported by our Agronomy Support Manager and Facilities and Equipment Supervisor, as well as having the experiences of 30+ full-timers with diverse backgrounds in golf and relevant industries for advanced troubleshooting or diagnostic work in the shops or on the course. Among the many conveniences of our team also include sharing equipment parts, chem/fert/seed on short notice, and shared resources such as a chipper, stump grinder, trenchers, deep-tine aerators, Redexim Overseeders, Shockwave, flail mowers, mini-excavator, etc. We foster an environment that balances hard work, safety, and fun in creating great playing conditions daily! Operational efficiency and attention to detail are important at Needwood in creating a golf experience that exceeds expectations. The superintendent is responsible for maintaining the golf course property, driving range/practice area, as well as clubhouse landscaping. Responsibilities include interviewing, hiring, and training employees; planning, assigning, and directing work; appraising performance; rewarding and disciplining employees; running a safety-oriented operation; overseeing equipment R&M; addressing complaints and resolving problems. We’re starting to dig deeper into data collection to help understand how our activities affect organic matter development (and playability/turf health) on greens, what factors into clipping yield variability (and thus green speed), and beginning to better understand predictive disease and PGR models, utilizing growth potential, etc.  There are lots of opportunities for in-house research to try new things. Robotic mowers are on most of our driving ranges now in 2025, and we’ll continue to invest in this and other technologies to help streamline operations.
