We're looking for an Assistant Golf Course Superintendent to be part of something special: leading, shaping and maintaining a golf experience unlike any other. This position is about supporting our GC Superintendent in leading the team and agronomic practices to bring a course to life and keeping it at a world class level of play. You'll work alongside an experienced team through every phase—from grow-in to full operation—ensuring the land is cared for and the turf performs at the highest level. One day, you might be soding fairways. The next, you're watering by hand to keep dust down or prepping greens for their morning cut. This is work for those who love the outdoors, don't mind getting their hands dirty, and want to see the impact of their work every day.

Property Description:

Located in Florida’s panhandle, just inland from the gulf’s sugar sand beaches, Old Shores will be a new community anchored by golf – a refuge, with world-class courses, accommodations, and homesites. Located just 30 minutes north of Panama City Beach, the land will serve as a peaceful, secluded escape. The bluffs and moss-draped oaks of Old Shores form an inviting and natural setting for a walking village that opens to the unspoiled golf sites, forests, and sandhill lakes for fishing and exploring. This new expression of golf by Michael Keiser Jr will change the way people look at Florida.

Old Shores is a coastal public golf destination offering daily-fee play, limited Founderships, and a curated real estate offering set against a distinctive natural landscape. The property is purpose-built for golfers and coastal lifestyle enthusiasts who want world-class golf, to respect the land, and to connect with others in a meaningful way. We are building a team to help build, grow-in and deliver Florida’s next World Class Destination resort and community.
