Golf Course Management





WHY?

Golf course superintendents/managers combine business and communication skills with science. You become part scientists, part executive, part environmentalist and part golfer. Your expertise will provide outstanding playing surfaces for professional and recreational golfers. Your expertise will include such disciplines as soil and plant science, integrated pest management practices, computer guided irrigation systems and state of the art maintenance equipment.

There are over 17,000 golf courses in United States and approximately 180 in Maryland. Each course requires educated and experienced golf corse superintendents or managers to manage these facilities.
