Grounds Staff

Shooting Star, a Tom Fazio designed 18-hole private facility, opened for play in 2009. The course is located at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Ski Resort, one mile from Grand Teton National Park, and boasts one of the more breathtaking mountain backdrops in the world. The golf season is Mid-May through Mid-October with an elite 15 KM Nordic/Cross-Country ski course maintained from December-April. 

The Seasonal Crewman positions at Shooting Star will be a hands-on and active roll involved in all aspects of Golf Course Maintenance. Crewmen will work alongside fellow grounds staff and be directly under the Assistant Superintendents and Golf Course Manager. The duration of employment is seasonal during the timeframe of April-October. Official start date will be discussed at the time of hiring, and we are open to employ students upon spring graduation or semester is finished. It is important that crewmen can contribute for the completion of the season and assist through the end of October. Free traditional dorm style housing is offered at a location within the ski resort area of Teton Village, conveniently 1 mile from work and 0.5 miles to Grand Teton National Park.

Crewmen at Shooting Star will experience the unique opportunity of contributing with how the course emerges from lengthy snow cover, evolves to premier conditions, and then prepared for the upcoming winter. World-class bentgrass is maintained on all greens, tees, approaches, and fairways. Kentucky bluegrass roughs, and 126 acres of fine fescue native cover the remaining areas of the 256-acre facility. Examples of daily roles to be performed are, daily mowing, bunker management, hand watering, irrigation repairs, drainage/course improvement projects, vegetation management, tractor/implement work, course set-up, snow removal, and more.
