Assistant-in-Training
Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is situated in the heart of the historic community of Rancho Santa Fe, just 20 miles north of San Diego. This private, 18-hole championship course is exclusively available to homeowners within the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant.
The Assistant-In-Training reports directly to the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent(s).

The Assistant-In-Training will be responsible for proper fertilization, pesticide application, equipment calibration, and assist in irrigation monitoring and repair.
