2nd Assistant Superintendent
Mountain Ridge Country Club, located in West Caldwell, New Jersey, is seeking an enthusiastic assistant to join our golf course maintenance staff. Mountain Ridge is an 18-hole golf club designed by the well-known architect Donald Ross. Having hosted USGA and LPGA events, Mountain Ridge provides a true test of golf for those who play.
May of 2026 and 2027 Mountain Ridge will be hosting the LPGA’s Mizuho America’s Open. 120 of the LPGA’s best players and 24 top-ranked junior golfers will compete on our golf course for the right to be crowned tournament champion. The hired assistant will be expected to assist in structural build out, logistics management of multiple contractors on site, as well as intensive golf course preparation.
In Fall of 2027, following tournament golf at MRCC, the course will embark on its renovation guided by golf course architect Andrew Green. The assistant will be expected to play an important role in assisting with keeping the project on budget, inspecting contractor work, and performing regular duties to maintain open golf holes for membership.
The golf course assistant superintendent will collaborate closely with the superintendent and other members of the management staff on all aspects of maintenance operations. We are looking for candidates with a strong desire to excel in the turfgrass industry.
