Assistant Superintendent
University Park Country Club — University Park, Florida
About Us
University Park Country Club is a 27-hole semi-private facility located in the Sarasota, Florida area. The club has a strong reputation for conditioning, active membership expectations, and continuous property improvements. We operate in a fast-paced environment where details matter, and standards are visible every day.
This is not a low-pressure maintenance position. We are looking for someone who wants to become a Superintendent — and is willing to work and learn at that level now.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an Assistant Superintendent who wants responsibility, not just tasks.
You will be directly involved in decision-making, crew leadership, agronomic execution, irrigation management, and project management across all 27 holes. You will not spend your career mowing greens here — you will be expected to think, lead, and solve problems daily.
If you prefer “just tell me what to do” positions, this is not the right job. If you want to learn how to run a golf course, it is.
What You Will Actually Do
We are intentionally selective. Strong candidates typically:
