Internship

Carmel Country Club is a 36-hole facility located in Charlotte, NC. The South Golf Course was renovated in 2010 by Rees Jones and consists of Zeon zoysia grass tees/fairways, Celebration Bermuda rough, and A1 bentgrass greens. 
The North Course was renovated in 2016 by John Fought Design. The renovation consisted of many architectural changes that include a new Toro irrigation system, course drainage, bunkers, greens, tees, and fairways. The course was grassed with Champion UltraDwarf bermudagrass greens and 419 Bermudagrass tees, fairways, and roughs. This is an excellent opportunity to work closely with the Golf Course Superintendents and Assistants daily to gain multiple course experience on a variety of different turf species on one property while using some of the newest technology in the business.

• Dailly course set-up

• Proper calibration, mixing, and application of fertilizers and pesticides
• Cultural Practices: aerification, verticutting, and topdressing
• Optional PGA tour volunteer experience
• Interns will be included in Greens Committee meetings
