We began our irrigation replacement project (Toro 2-wire system) after Labor Day, with planned completion by May of 2025. We began to restore our irrigation pond on our 8th hole in the Spring of 2024 and will complete that project this fall. This is a great opportunity for the right student to experience state of the art golf course management practices, facilities, equipment, and construction and project management. Our goal is for every intern to be prepared for an assistant’s position after completing an internship at our club.  We provide a positive working environment and provide the necessary instruction for learning.
