Description

The Golf Club at Lansdowne | Leesburg, Virginia Elevate Your Career at One of the Mid-Atlantic's Premier Private Clubs
The Golf Club at Lansdowne is seeking an Assistant Golf Course Superintendent who is passionate about producing exceptional golf course conditions, leading people, and continuing to grow within the golf course management profession.

This position offers far more than daily maintenance responsibilities. Although on the Norman course, you'll gain experience managing a diverse 45-hole operation while developing the leadership, agronomic, and business skills necessary to become a successful Golf Course Superintendent.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership, communicates well, enjoys solving problems, and is committed to continuous improvement. A passion for the game of golf is a strong plus. While not required, understanding the golfer's perspective often creates a deeper appreciation for the details that separate good golf courses from exceptional ones.
