Director of Agronomy
Are you looking to be part of a company that will stand the test of time, create opportunities for you to grow and to have fun? Then we welcome you to join Century Golf Partners as the Director of Agronomy at Verrado Golf Club.
About YOUR CLUB: Verrado Golf Club is a 36-hole golf facility comprised of the Founder’s and Victory courses.
The Founder’s Experience: An 18-hole championship golf course, the Founder’s Course at Verrado Golf Club features a dramatic mountainside setting with massive rock outcroppings, large desert washes, picturesque box canyons and dramatic elevation changes. The course also offers magnificent views of the nearby White Tank Mountains and the Phoenix skyline. From the tips, the course plays to nearly 7,300 yards and will give even the most accomplished player a thrilling test of golf. However, course architects John Fought and PGA Tour Player, Tom Lehman created the course with generous landing areas and five sets of tee boxes ensuring players of all abilities a legitimate chance at par.
The Victory Experience: An 18-hole championship golf course, the Victory Course at Verrado Golf Club is a perfect complement to the Founders Course as it offers a unique and challenging golfing experience designed by PGA Tour Player Tom Lehman. With stunning views and well-maintained fairways and greens, the Victory course provides an enjoyable and memorable round of golf for players of all skill levels. The course's design takes advantage of the natural rocky terrain, offering a variety of holes that are both strategic and visually appealing. The Victory Course saves the best for last as the 18th hole will leave you wanting to plan your return visit.
In 2005, several of the partners came together to realize a long-desired dream and created Century Golf Partners; a golf investment and management company. In the same year, the company also acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to the Arnold Palmer Golf Management brand and accordingly, Century Golf Partners operates many of its clubs under the Arnold Palmer Golf Management name.
