South Golf Course Superintendent

Berkeley Hall Club is seeking an enthusiastic, determined, and innovative Golf Course Superintendent to lead the South Course. The position is open because our superintendent of more than 22 years has moved on to lead his own operation. We are proud of that, and it reflects the kind of growth we hope to support for everyone on our team. We are looking for a leader who will bring a fresh perspective to a well-established operation, look for opportunities to refine how we work, move with a strong sense of urgency, and help develop the next generation of superintendents along the way. ABOUT BERKELEY HALL Berkeley Hall is a private, member-owned golf community on the Okatie River in the heart of the Lowcountry, between Hilton Head Island and Savannah. It is one of the few clubs in the country with 36 holes designed entirely by Tom Fazio. Both courses are core golf layouts with no interior homes or roads, and at roughly 5.3 homesites per hole, Berkeley Hall is among the lowest-density private communities in the Southeast. Our members are passionate golfers who expect great conditions.

THE SOUTH COURSE

The South Course is Fazio’s classic parkland design: live oaks, loblolly pines, tree-lined fairways, lakes, and bold green complexes set against the marsh of the Okatie River. It is a beautiful golf course and a rewarding, at times challenging, place to grow grass, with a mature canopy and the heat, humidity, and disease pressure that come with coastal South Carolina.

THE OPPORTUNITY

More than two decades of steady leadership built a strong foundation and a dedicated team that knows this property well. The next superintendent will have the opportunity to build on that foundation by taking a thoughtful look at our programs, practices, and processes, preserving what works well and bringing new ideas where there is room to improve. We welcome curiosity and the confidence to put good ideas into practice.

You will have:

- A Director of Agronomy who values new ideas and supports thoughtful change

- A department invested in technology and data, including GreenKeeper, TurfRad, USGA Deacon, and John Deere Operations Center, and actively evaluating autonomous mowing

- A two-course structure that gives you a peer superintendent to collaborate with, share resources, and benchmark against

- A club that develops its people and celebrates when they move up
