About the Position:

The Club at Spruce Peak is seeking a qualified applicant for the position of Construction Assistant Superintendent at Stowe Country Club. This position will support the golf course renovation and grow-in aspect of the golf course. This includes responsibilities such as seeding and fertilizing playing surfaces, watering newly seeded or sodded areas, and developing and implementing irrigation and turf health programs. The role also involves overseeing job performance, delegating work assignments, inspecting course conditions, and managing small construction projects. Additionally, the assistant superintendent supervises the proper use of equipment and assists with weekend operations when needed. After construction, the position helps maintain and mature the golf course to world-class standards. The Construction Assistant Superintendent may also serve as acting superintendent in the absence of the Superintendent.

About the Course:

Stowe Country Club is an 18-hole private golf club originally designed by William Mitchell that opened in 1969. The golf course is set in the iconic village of Stowe, VT with views of the Worcester mountain range, Mount Mansfield, and Camel’s Hump. The golf course is undergoing a major renovation. All greens, tees, bunkers, fairways, and irrigation are being renovated. Stowe Country Club has partnered with Beau Welling Design as the architect, Paul Granger as the irrigation consultant, and NMP Golf Construction as the general contractor. We will open the newly renovated front nine and close the back nine for renovation in the spring of 2025. The grand opening of the full 18-holes will be in the spring of 2026. A new 13,000 square foot turf care center was built in 2024 to support the newly renovated golf course.

The candidate will lead the opening and operation of the new front nine along with supporting the grow-in of the new back nine as it is completed. Irrigation scheduling will be a major component of the grow-in support.
