Assistant Superintendent - Rocky Point Golf Course

Baltimore County Revenue Authority • Essex, MD

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Rocky Point Golf Course is currently seeking an experienced Assistant Superintendent! Rocky Point is part of a 5 golf course system operated by the Baltimore County Revenue Authority. Opened in 1971, Russell Roberts skillfully created Rocky Point to be a challenging yet fair test of golf. Preserved natural wetlands meander through this picturesque setting, offering some of the prettiest views in all of golf in the Baltimore area. A brand new clubhouse is set to open this fall. While the length at Rocky Point is only 6,650 yards; architect Roberts added some deception and difficulty to the golf course. Rocky Point, with its many elevation changes, plays longer than its posted yardage. Par at Rocky Point is set at 72, with a fairly open front nine and a back nine that is more tree lined and high-lighted by the three par 5’s. Greens are large and inviting with strategically placed bunkers.
