The Maridoe Golf Club is hiring for an Assistant-in-Training to join our Turf Management Team. At Maridoe, our members enjoy our exclusive property dedicated solely towards the game of Golf. A private golf club on 212 acres of Blackland prairie, surrounding the most extensive private lake in Dallas County. The design by architect Steve Smyers is a true representation of the landscape native to Texas. At 7,800 yards, this par-72 course leads you on a journey through soft, billowing grasses, lower forested areas, across the prairie and always back to the lake that anchors Maridoe. With a slope rating of 155 it consistently holds its place among the rankings as one of the most difficult courses in Texas, encompassing strategic shot values to create an exhilarating and stimulating golf experience.
