Winged Foot Golf Club - 2027 Grounds Intern

We are looking to add motivated turfgrass interns to our team for the 2027 season. Interns are an integral part of our team and will be very hands-on with all parts of our maintenance operation. We expect interns to be self-starters and have a desire to maintain two golf courses at major championship conditioning. This is an excellent opportunity to join a team that is preparing to host the U.S. Open in 2028. We strongly believe in retention and promotion from within our team. Our goal is to help you gain the skills and knowledge to become a successful Golf Course Superintendent in your career.
