Golf Course Assistant Superintendent

Assistant Superintendent Would you like to work at a Top 10 Virginia golf course, one of the Top 10 country clubs in the nation, and one of the Top Workplaces in Richmond, VA? Does a club-wide operating budget of $54 million sound like a stable environment? If the answer is yes, The Country Club of Virginia is currently seeking an Assistant Superintendent for our James River and Westhampton Courses.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about advancing their careers and developing the skills needed to become successful Superintendents. Hard work is rewarded at CCV, as all three of our current Golf Course Superintendents were former Assistant Superintendents, and several others have succeeded as Superintendents at other clubs.

The Country Club of Virginia is looking for an individual to help facilitate the continuous improvement of our golf courses, helping provide an exceptional experience for our members and guests. Assistant Superintendents will have the opportunity to be hands-on in every aspect of golf course management. Qualified candidates will help plan and monitor all maintenance activities and expenses associated with golf course operations including supplies, chemicals, and fertilizers.

The Assistant Superintendent's responsibilities will include but are not limited to, managing the crew, moisture management, pesticide and fertilizer applications, drainage designs and installations, implementing cultural practices, course construction projects, etc. At CCV, we are fortunate to have an irrigation department, in-house arborists, and a robust shop maintenance operation. This allows the Assistant to learn these skills without the tasks becoming their main focus.
