The TPC Network Golf Course Maintenance Operations Internship Program provides a unique experience only a TPC can offer. Our vision is to create an experience where an individual comes away feeling empowered, knowledgeable, and confident to take the next step. Our program centers on collaboration of an individual’s educational and experience level with real world, practical, hands-on learning including agronomic planning and management, asset preservation, operational excellence, and professional golf tournament preparation. The goal is to expose and develop interns to an array of skills in both tournament and daily playing conditioning. We have both short- and long-term internship programs that will be tailored to your skill set, education, and customized to meet your school’s requirements.
