Weymouth Country Club is seeking a motivated Assistant Superintendent to join our agronomy team. This position is ideal for a turfgrass student, Assistant-in-Training (AIT), or Second Assistant Superintendent looking to take on greater responsibility and continue developing the skills needed to advance in the golf course industry.
The Assistant Superintendent will work directly with the Golf Course Superintendent in a collaborative partnership focused on developing the next generation of turf leaders. The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience in agronomic decision making, spray program execution, staff leadership, and the daily management of golf course operations.
This role is structured as a development opportunity where the Assistant Superintendent will be involved in decision making, agronomic planning, and operational strategy rather than simply executing daily tasks.

The department takes pride in producing excellent playing conditions while maintaining a culture built around professionalism, teamwork, and sustainable workloads. While the club strives for high-quality conditions, the focus is on consistent agronomy and efficient operations rather than maintaining peak tournament conditioning throughout the entire season.
