Lehigh Country Club in Allentown, PA opened in 1928 and was designed on site by renowned architect William S. Flynn.  While the course plays just over 6900 yards from the tips, with only two par 5’s, Flynn was able to keep members coming up with a solid strategy when approaching each shot by fully utilizing the terrain into his design on every hole.  The Little Lehigh Creek comes into play on 5 holes, with 3 out of the 5 featuring massive elevation changes of over 100 feet.  Our goal, on a daily basis, is to provide the membership with exceptional conditions within budgetary limitations.  As expectations have changed over the years from lush and green to firm and fast, we have also changed our agronomic practices.  Constantly improving these practices every year continues to improve the overall playability of the golf course while pushing the turf to its physical limits.  Lehigh has developed a reputation for exceptional consistent playing surfaces from tee to green.  Outside of improving practices, the golf course has also seen an update in technology as 8 of the almost 100 year old push up greens have received installation of XGD in the last two years.  Lehigh has recently started a complete bunker restoration project, that we anticipate being completed in Spring of 2022.  Other projects in the works in the near future include new irrigation, replacing the bridge at #7 green, establishing new native areas, and continued tree work to improve turf health. The mid-Atlantic climate will test you on a daily basis throughout the year.  This is one area of the country where you are sure to see it all; hot and dry, hot and humid, rain, rain, rain, and more rain, and disease pressure through the roof.  Boasting a management staff with a combined 60 years of experience at Lehigh, you will gain invaluable knowledge and experience on how to grow and maintain turf in one of the toughest climates in the continental US. We are also providing an opportunity to periodically work inside the mechanic's shop to gain experience with basic equipment maintenance and operations.  Interns will have exposure to a modern equipment fleet, learn about the importance of equipment management, and how success on the golf course begins in the shop.  LCC made some major investments recently with new reel grinding equipment and updated the shop facility over the last several years.

The management team at Shoreacres has previously worked at clubs across the United States, such as Merion Golf Club, Shinnecock Hills, Chicago Golf Club, and Baltusrol with extensive Major Championship experience. We are more than willing to use our network to assist with placing individuals at different clubs, at the conclusion of the internship. Interns are paid $14/hr. plus overtime and can expect to work 65 hours per week, with every other weekend off. Lunch and dinner are provided on all days that the club is open. Uniforms are provided, with an allowance for additional work-related clothing items. Free on-site housing is provided which includes a full kitchen, laundry, cable television, and wireless internet.   The Shoreacres intern house is located within a two-minute walk from a train station that accesses downtown Chicago or Milwaukee. Over the course of the summer, we encourage all interns and turf staff to explore the great sights and activities that the Chicagoland area has to offer.
