Assistant Superintendent
Sleepy Hollow Country Club is a world renowned C.B. MacDonald original design overlooking the Hudson River in Scarborough, New York. The 338 acre property consists of a championship 18-hole Upper Course and a 9-hole Lower Course. The Upper Course is currently ranked 52nd in the United States by Golf Digest, and 70th in the world by Golf Magazine. Hanse Golf Course Design completed a restoration of the Upper Course in 2016 that converted the greens construction to USGA specification while utilizing the original poa sod. The Lower Course consists of modified native soil push-up greens, offering candidates a unique opportunity to manage both sand-constructed USGA greens and hundred year old native soil greens on the same property.
The Assistant Superintendent will be an integral part of a strong agronomic team that strives to provide championship level conditioning on a daily basis for our membership and guests. Assistants will work strongly as team directly with interns, fellow Assistants, Superintendent, and the Director of Agronomy, and share many of the same responsibilities.
Our Upper Course Superintendent recently accepted a Head Superintendent position and another Assistant accepted a Sr. Assistant position in his home state creating this opportunity to join our team.
