Cog Hill Golf & Country Club | Lemont Illinois United states
Expires: April 22, 2024
Cog Hill Golf and Country Club is a 72-hole Public golf facility located in the Des Plaines River Valley in Lemont, Illinois located 30 miles southwest of Chicago. Cog Hill is the dream and work of Joe Jemsek. The history of modern golf parallels the life of Joe Jemsek. He pioneered high standards for public courses. Mr. Jemsek acquired Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in 1951 from the Coghill family. The property at the time consisted of two, eighteen hole golf courses. Mr. Jemsek added a third course in 1963, and then added the beloved Number Four or Dubsdread course in 1964.
Cog Hill was built on high expectations and tradition which has created a world-renowned Championship golf facility. Cog Hill has hosted professional and amateur tournaments dating back to 1970. Such tournaments include; the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links (1987), the U.S. Amateur Public Links (1970,1989), the 97th U.S. Amateur (1997) the PGA Tour Western Open Championship (1991-2006), and the PGA Tour BMW Championship (2007, 2009-2011). Dubsdread has also received many industry accolades including being named No. 1 on Golfweek's list of Best Courses You Can Play in Illinois, Top 100 Places You Can Play in the U.S. By Golf Magazine, and America's 100 Greatest Public Courses by Golf Digest.

Cog Hill Golf and Country Club is seeking a qualified, highly motivated, team-oriented Equipment Technician. Technicians will be exposed to all aspects of equipment maintenance and repair of equipment used for our 72-hole, 1,000-acre facility.

Cog Hill is very unique, in that it has courses that are diverse in their maintenance practices and course conditioning.

Depending on the duration of the internship, the opportunity to volunteer at professional and major amateur tournaments will be available. The tech will be asked to work in a fast-paced environment and show the eagerness to grow and advance in this industry. They will be involved in maintenance of all areas of Cog Hill’s extensive fleet, and will be trained to diagnose and maintain 2 & 4 cycle engines, diesel engines, hydraulics, and electrical systems. In addition, they will have the opportunity to learn basic and advanced techniques in reel and bedknife grinding and mower setup.
