1st Assistant Golf Professional

<p></p> <p><a href="https://persimmonridge.com/">Persimmon Ridge Golf Club</a> is known as one of the most challenging golf courses in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The core membership is a group of passionate golf enthusiasts who thrive on friendly competition in our beautiful, natural setting. Our tee sheet is busy most days and we have active men’s &amp; ladies golf leagues in addition to club wide special events. <br /><br />Designed by Arthur Hills and built in 1989, Persimmon Ridge was voted as the 6th best New Private Golf Courses in 1990. In its short history, the club has hosted state and national tournaments including the: Kentucky State Amateur, AJGA Championship, U.S. Senior Challenge, Kentucky PGA Section Championship, multiple Kentucky Opens and much more. We have been the host site of the Men’s Kentucky Open in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and the Kentucky Boys Junior Amateur Championship in 2025<br /><br />Persimmon Ridge ownership has acquired Polo Fields Golf and Country Club, just a few miles away and also manages Oxmoor Country Club in Louisville.  All three clubs share a membership where members have privileges at all three courses and can compete in each other’s events. It also provides an advantage when one course is closed, one or two others are open. It is the most unique setup in the State and we are very fortunate to have this robust and diverse club membership.<br /><br />Persimmon Ridge also has an indoor Golf Academy on one end of our practice range. The facility features four indoor hitting bays as well as an outdoor covered and heated tee line. The main tee side of the practice range features a large natural grass tee with both warm and cool season grasses so the range is set up on natural grass year round!  Adjacent to the practice range is a large short game area and two practice holes.<br /><br />Along with our Championship 18 hole course and extensive practice facility, Persimmon Ridge has opened the Just6 par 3 course.  The Just6 course is a six hole walking only course with holes that range from 65 to 120 yards.  It’s conveniently located near the back side of the clubhouse and has turned out to be a huge hit with all golfers young and old.   <br /><br />Persimmon Ridge is the perfect spot to learn from a leading PGA Professional, gain experience at a dynamic facility and grow your career to the next level!<br /><br /><strong>Characteristics of a successful Assistant Golf Professional</strong>: honesty, straightforwardness, accountability, leadership, and dedication.
