Join Our Rum River Hills Turf Team: Golf Course Rough Mower Equipment Operator

Are you an early riser who loves the outdoors? Do you get a strange sense of satisfaction from a perfectly mowed lawn? If you want your "office" to be 150 acres of beautiful, rolling green hills, we have the perfect spot for you.

We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Rough Mower Equipment Operator to join our golf course maintenance team. In this role, you’ll play a critical part in keeping our course beautiful, challenging, and pristine for our players.

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)

As a Rough Mower Operator, your main canvas is the "rough"—the areas of grass bordering our fairways and greens. Your daily duties will include:
  • Mowing the Rough: Safely and efficiently operate large, commercial-grade rotary and reel riding mowers to maintain the rough at its designated height.
  • Equipment Care: Perform daily pre-trip inspections of your mower (checking oil, fuel, and blade sharpness) and clean your equipment after use.
  • Course Presentation: Keep an eye out for debris, broken branches, or turf issues, reporting any concerns to the Superintendent.
  • Support the Crew: Assist with other general course maintenance tasks (such as string trimming, course setup, or bunker raking) when mowing is caught up or weather-delayed.
What We’re Looking For (Requirements)
  • The Early Bird: Shift times typically start at dawn (around 5:30 AM – 6:00 AM). If you aren't a morning person, this might not be the gig for you!
  • Safety First: Ability to safely operate heavy machinery on slopes, uneven terrain, and around golf course obstacles (like trees and bunkers).
  • Physical Stamina: Comfort working outdoors in various weather conditions (heat, light rain, morning dew) and sitting/operating machinery for extended periods.
  • Eye for Detail: A commitment to clean lines and protecting the turf from damage.
  • Experience: Previous experience operating commercial landscaping equipment or golf course machinery is a huge plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate with a great attitude.
Perks & Benefits

The Best Office View in Town: Skip the cubicle and watch the sunrise every morning while you work.
  • Competitive Pay: $[16-18] / hour (dependent on experience).
  • Golf Perks: Free (or heavily discounted) golf privileges during off-peak hours.
  • Uniforms Provided: We’ll make sure you have the right gear to look and feel the part.
  • Great Team Culture: Work with a hard-working, down-to-earth crew who loves what they do.

If you're ready to trade a desk for a steering wheel and a sunrise, we want to hear from you!
