Working with the Director of Golf Courses & Grounds & Equipment Manager, we are excited to welcome a Senior Assistant Equipment Technician for our South Course, which is currently under construction.
Apogee Club is a passion project presented by two highly successful businessmen, Mr. Michael Pascussi & Mr. Stephen Ross. Apogee is currently in the construction phase with plans to construct three, 18-hole golf courses, two short courses, a Himalayas-style putting green & two driving ranges over 1200 acres. The West Course, designed by Gil Hanse & Jim Wagner has just recently opened & construction of the 50+ acre driving range & South Course has already begun. The golf courses will be designed by Hanse Golf Design (West Course), Fazio & Davis Golf Design (South Course) & Kyle Phillips Golf Design (North Course). The main driving range encompasses over 50acres, has 360* of tee space, 7 acres of shortgame area & will be regarded as one of the finest practice facilities in the country. All courses will be blanketed with TifTuf turf & TifEagle greens. Rainbird IC irrigation will be utilized on all courses along with John Deere equipment. The West Course Turf Care Facility is in the final phases before completion & construction of the East Turf Care Facility will commence in the late spring of 2024. The club is also in the process of constructing 2 clubhouses, 50+ cottages, spa/fitness center & will also have fishing, tennis, walking trails & pickleball.
