The Club operates two championship golf courses, the North Course and the South Course, each with a rich history of hosting major events. The South Course underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2021 led by golf course architect Andy Staples, including enhancements to greens, fairways, bunkers, drainage, and overall course strategy. The Assistant Superintendent will have the opportunity to help maintain and further develop the South Course while also playing a key role in the comprehensive restoration of the North Course led by golf course architect Andrew Green.
