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.  We anticipate installing XGD in the remaining greens over the next two years.  In 2022 Lehigh completed a full bunker renovation, including the installation of Capillary Concrete in 31 of the bunkers on the course.  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, 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.

Ideally, our intern candidate is enrolled in a turfgrass program, related field, or recently completed their degree. Beyond learning irrigation, our goal is to teach our interns all facets of the industry and vastly prepare them for their career ahead.  Maintenance skills can be taught, however, attitude and effort need to be brought by our candidate. A desire to learn and grow is key.  Our intern will work directly with the Assistant Superintendent and the Superintendent on a daily basis through training, planning, note-taking, and executing plans over the course of the internship.  Steven Zettle is the Superintendent.  He has spent his career at top clubs in the tri-state area, including being the Senior Assistant Superintendent at Bethpage Black.  He also proudly adds Hampton Hills to his resume as well as working several PGA tournaments and major championships. Ben Lord is the Assistant Superintendent.  His experience comes from Quail Hollow Club and TPC Boston, as well as working several PGA tournaments at different clubs.  Ben took on his first Assistant Superintendent role in Greenwich, CT at an executive private club.   If you are looking for a unique club to gain knowledge and expand your portfolio in the industry, NEHGC is for you.  Cultivating a healthy work environment and emphasizing life beyond the job is paramount to our operation.  We are a team at NEHGC maintenance and we would be thrilled to have an intern join us for the 2023 season. Please reach out with any questions or interest.

At 1,582 feet, the highest point in Huntsville, The Ledges offers an 18-hole championship golf course like no other in Alabama. The award winning course was designed by Hurdzan/Fry GCD, Inc., and first opened in 2000. In 2003, Designer Mike Hurdzan was named Designer of the Year by Golf Magazine for his work at The Ledges. He was also chosen as the recipient of the 2013 Old Tom Morris Award by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America. The goal of The Ledges developers was to preserve the mountain’s natural beauty while creating a world-class golf course. Of the 750 acres set for development, 450 acres were set aside as a natural green belt protecting it from future development. 250 acres of the land are now a nationally recognized golf course, while 150 acres are used for the mountain’s residential development. Bent grass greens, Zoysia fairways and Bermuda rough make up the landscape of the course. Designed with 5 different tee sets, sculpted greens and fairways and challenging bunkers, the course offers golfers of all skill levels an outstanding golf experience.
