Skylinks at Buchanan Fields Golf Course | Concord California United states
Expires: October 9, 2026
Bring Buchanan Back to Its Best Golf Ever
Skylinks at Buchanan Fields is looking for a Golf Course Superintendent to lead our grounds operation and drive the biggest agronomy push in this property's 70-year history.
This isn't a maintain-the-status-quo job. We bought a struggling muni in 2023 and turned it into one of the busiest golf properties in Northern California. Now we're investing back into the golf course itself — and we need the right person to own that transformation.

The numbers that make this place different:
A real project list, funded and ready. You won't be begging for budget to fix things. On the board right now:
Ownership in the room. You'll work directly with an owner-operator who is on property, invests in the course, and backs the grounds team. Your input shapes capital decisions, not just mowing schedules.
Who We're Looking For

Skylinks at Buchanan Fields — the funnest lil gem in the East Bay.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: $75,000.00 - $105,000.00 per year

The numbers that make this place different:
- Established 1955 — original Robert Muir Graves design
- 64,927 rounds in 2025 (US course average: ~39,000)
- 16.5 million range balls hit in 2025 (US average: ~7.5 million)
- One of the East Bay's true community golf hubs — leagues, juniors, events, seven days a week
A real project list, funded and ready. You won't be begging for budget to fix things. On the board right now:
- Bentgrass nursery installation — build our own sod supply on site
- Greens expansion — restoring all greens to their original Robert Muir Graves size and shape
- Bunker renovation and drainage work
- Irrigation optimization and water management
- A running list of property-wide upgrade projects — we move fast and we actually execute
Ownership in the room. You'll work directly with an owner-operator who is on property, invests in the course, and backs the grounds team. Your input shapes capital decisions, not just mowing schedules.
Who We're Looking For
Two profiles fit this job:
- The hungry Assistant Superintendent ready to step up, run their own course, and prove they can lead — with the licenses and drive to back it up.
- The experienced Superintendent who still loves the craft and wants to help drive a business — someone who thinks about playability, presentation, AND revenue.
What You'll Own
- Full agronomic leadership — greens, tees, fairways, rough, range, and landscape across the entire property
- Spray program — you'll hold the applicator license and run our pesticide/fertility program in-house, legally and by the book
- Project execution — bentgrass nursery, greens expansion, bunkers, and the ongoing upgrade list
- Crew leadership — inspire and develop a dedicated grounds team; build a positive, accountable culture
- Mowing and maintenance programs — schedules, standards, and quality control across all surfaces
- Irrigation management — system optimization, water conservation, and turf health
- Budget and resources — manage the grounds budget, equipment needs, and vendor relationships
- Communication — clear updates to ownership, coordination with the golf operation, and a visible, positive presence with our community of players
- QAL or QAC (California Qualified Applicator License or Certificate) — REQUIRED at hire. You must be able to legally apply on site from day one.
- Minimum 3 years as an Assistant Superintendent or Superintendent at a reputable course
- Strong turfgrass management, plant health, and agronomic fundamentals
- Irrigation systems knowledge and hands-on troubleshooting ability
- Proven leadership — you can motivate a crew and hold a standard
- Budget management and resource allocation experience
- Problem-solver mentality — you find a way, you don't find excuses
- Hands-on work ethic — this is a roll-up-your-sleeves property
- Bonus points: greens construction/expansion experience, bentgrass management, project management on renovations, GCSAA membership
- $85,000 – $105,000/year, depending on experience
- Full-time, year-round work at a financially strong, growing operation
- Golf and range privileges
- Direct path to Head of Agronomy as Skylinks expands to multiple locations
- Work for owners who invest in the course — not a management company squeezing a lease
