About the Role
## Join the Crosswater Course Team
Become part of the team behind Sunriver Resort's iconic Crosswater Course! We're hiring a Greenskeeper who's ready to maintain pristine course conditions and help deliver a golf experience that keeps players coming back. As a Golf Greenskeeper, you'll assist in the general upkeep and maintenance of the golf greens, working on precision mowing of greens, tees, aprons, approaches, fairways, and roughs. You'll handle bunker maintenance, manage our divot repair program, and participate in a variety of golf course maintenance programs, such as aerifying, vericutting, and topdressing. Your work will help us maintain the AAA Four Diamond standards that our guests expect.
### What You'll Do
Your day-to-day responsibilities include properly mowing greens and tees, operating tractors with specific attachments to till, cultivate, and grade new turf areas, and assisting with landscaping work including planting, cultivating, pruning, and general care of plants, shrubs, and trees throughout the golf course. You'll take responsibility for bunker maintenance, repair divots throughout the course, and rake sand traps. Beyond the turf work, you'll comply with all Sunriver Resort policies, procedures, and safety regulations, maintain strong knowledge of emergency procedures, and attend appropriate resort, division, and department meetings.
Guest interaction is part of the role too—you'll provide general resort information to guests, offer warm and sincere welcomes and farewells using guest names when possible and maintaining good eye contact, and interact with resort staff in a professional manner, assisting other departments when necessary. Throughout everything you do, you'll maintain a professional demeanor and attitude while communicating all pertinent information to the golf maintenance team.
### Who We're Looking For
You'll need at least a high school education or equivalent. Prior landscaping experience is preferred, and prior golf maintenance experience is strongly preferred. We're also looking for someone with at least one year of customer service experience preferred.
Beyond education, you'll need excellent equipment operation skills and good mechanical understanding and ability. Having a thorough understanding of the game of golf is important so you can understand the playability of the course. A valid Oregon driver's license is preferred. You must be able and willing to work a flexible schedule that may include evenings, weekends, and holidays, and work a varied schedule dependent on the current needs of the course.
### Working Conditions
This position requires you to work in a variety of weather conditions including rain, wind, snow, cold, sun, and heat. You'll stand and walk throughout the day on uneven surfaces, and frequently lift, push, pull, and carry up to 25 lbs, occasionally up to 50 lbs, and very occasionally up to 75 lbs with assistance. You'll bend, squat, crawl, kneel, and twist frequently, sometimes for prolonged periods, and perform simple grasping, squeezing, and repetitive hand and arm movements frequently, with overhead reaching and fine manipulation occasionally. You may occasionally work with pesticides and be exposed to dust.
### The Sunriver Experience
As a Greenskeeper, you'll embody the Core Values of Sunriver Resort: Trust, Commitment, and Open and Honest Communication. You'll strive to provide exceptional service to both internal and external guests at all times, exemplifying the Sunriver Resort Culture and promoting Sunriver Resort as both the Destination and Employer of Choice.
We believe your workplace should feel just as inspiring as the experiences we create for our guests. As a valued associate, you'll enjoy amazing perks including free golf, free recreation rentals like bikes and marina gear, 50% off food and beverage across the resort, discounted stays at Coral. Tree Hospitality properties nationwide, paid time off, 50% off retail, and free access to the Sunriver Observatory & Nature Center.
