Seasonal Intern

Indian Creek Country Club is pleased to offer an Agronomic Internship Program to rising young professionals from leading universities specializing in golf course management. The program affords students the opportunity to work at a world-class facility. Originally designed by architect William Flynn, the Club recently completed a comprehensive renovation with architect Andrew Green in 2022, thoughtfully restoring Flynn’s original design character while enhancing the overall golf experience for the membership.

Indian Creek Country Club was established in 1928 as a Private Country Club and currently has approximately 365 members. Throughout its 98-year history, Indian Creek Country Club has remained committed to preserving its traditions, culture, and integrity. With a strong emphasis on excellence in course conditioning and long-term stewardship, the Club continues to uphold the high standards established by its founding members while delivering a world-class golf experience.

As soon as the Student Intern arrives, the team at Indian Creek starts by identifying individualized areas of enrichment to help the student become a more viable Assistant Superintendent Candidate for potential employers after graduation.
