Summer Turfgrass Intern

Dallas, Texas, Brook Hollow Golf Club

Summer Internship

Brook Hollow Golf Club (founded in 1920) is a premier private, member-owned club in the Southwest. Brook Hollow has hosted major events, including multiple Trans-Miss Championships, the USGA Mid-Amateur, and numerous USGA and Texas Golf Association championships and qualifiers. Most recently, Brook Hollow co-hosted the U.S. Junior Amateur in 2025.

In 2020, Brook Hollow completed a golf course renovation to restore the original A.W. Tillinghast design characteristics from the 1920s. The project included a new Toro 2-wire irrigation system, resurfacing of fairways, tees, and rough with Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass, and  7-7-7 bentgrass greens featuring SubAir and hydronic systems to manage subsurface temperature and optimize air/gas exchange. This internship offers hands-on turfgrass management experience using state-of-the-art technologies.
