Grounds Staff

This is an exciting opportunity to work in New Zealand at two world top 100 golf courses. Te Arai Links has two very different courses that complement each other well. The South Course was designed by Coore & Crenshaw and has been open since September 2022. The North Course was designed by Tom Doak and has been open since October 2023. Both courses are comprised of entirely fine fescue and located along the Pacific Ocean on the North Island of New Zealand. 

This year in late October Te Arai Links will be hosting the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship, the winner of it will qualify for The Masters and The Open. This is an exciting tournament for us to prepare for, and we would like the successful candidates to be a part of it. With this in mind, an ideal start date is early September - mid October, to allow yourself time to become familiar with the courses and be heavily involved with preparations for this tournament. 

The right candidates will be an integral part of the operation, being involved in spray applications, watering, native species planting, course set-up, irrigation repair/maintenance and set-up. Your thoughts will be taken into consideration when discussing day to day routines and how we can optimize the operation. 

This is an ideal opportunity for a recent graduate or someone who wants to take a little time to see the world while progressing their career. We have had interns/seasonal greenkeepers for six months to one-year stints too. There will be the opportunity to work on both courses as well as a short stint at Tara Iti Golf Club.
