Responsibilities Include: The Golf Club of Avon is looking for a high energy candidate to assist in the day-to-day leadership of the golf course maintenance team. Nestled in the Farmington Valley, the Golf Club of Avon is a private club providing its members with a full range of family-oriented recreational and social activities.
Founded in 1925, the Golf Club of Avon has emerged from a 9-hole golf course to a full-service country club that now provides 27 holes of golf to challenge every golfer's ability, a racquet center featuring eight Har-Tru courts, four pickleball courts, and three paddle tennis courts, an Aquatic Facility featuring a heated pool with a zero entry level area and a diving well.

In 2026, GCA will host the Hartford Healthcare Women’s Championship, an LPGA Epson Tour Event. GCA will be the host site each July for the next three years.

Under the leadership of the Superintendent, the Assistant Superintendent will work closely with the Senior Assistant and other Assistants in all aspects of the property maintenance at GCA. Including, but not limited to: golf course setup, chemical/fertilizer applications, job delegation, moisture management, irrigation troubleshooting/repair, tree removal, drainage installation, in-house tee renovations, snow removal/plowing, and small project supervision.
GCA has nearly 250 acres of total property that requires a high level of attention to detail to provide an exceptional golf course and campus. The Assistant Superintendent is expected to be a positive leader with a friendly demeanor who can work well with others and interact well with members and their guests. The successful candidate will enjoy a healthy work/life balance with the understanding that more hours are necessary during peak season, hot/dry conditions, aeration, and marquee member/guest golf events.
