Contentment is a new private, 18-hole club currently under construction on 900 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. The front nine of the course is currently in the grassing and grow-in phases, while construction is underway on the back nine. USGA greens, tees, and fairways will be seeded in bentgrass, while roughs and native areas will feature fescue blends. Once complete, the property will feature fishing and hiking opportunities and provide cabins and clubhouse rooms for overnight stays.
We are currently recruiting and assembling our Grounds Maintenance team at Contentment, and are seeking an assistant superintendent. The assistant superintendent will work closely with the golf course superintendent, general manager, and all club leadership as we prepare to open the golf course this fall.
Assistant superintendents will focus on the planning, monitoring and execution of daily production of the Grounds Maintenance team. Responsibilities will be broad and fluid as this project is completed and our team assembled. Daily collaboration with our club's staff, management, and ownership; the golf course architect; the construction contractor and their sub-contractors, and the golf course superintendent will be essential. Assistant superintendents will contribute to staff management, training, supervision and retention; and will play a hands-on role in accomplishing long-, and short-term goals in the construction, planting, grow-in and maintenance of the golf course. In addition, the assistant superintendents will be responsible for irrigation management, application, installation and repair; chemical and fertilizer application, record-keeping and inventory; and drainage installation, repair, and maintenance. Assistant superintendents will also be involved in equipment fleet acquisition and management, as well as in the planning, construction, and set-up of the maintenance facility.
Requirements include:
minimum two-year degree in turf management, horticulture, or related field
ability to obtain NC pesticide applicators license
strong leadership and communication abilities
a focused drive to succeed, learn, grow, and strengthen your career
a willingness to contribute and work hands-on in a team atmosphere
Contentment is a private, national golf retreat situated on 900 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Traphill, North Carolina. Under the direction of architect Lester George, the golf course will feature a number of design elements representative of the work of Seth Raynor and C.B. Macdonald. The golf-centric property will feature the championship golf course and practice facilities, and will be devoid of homes to preserve the rural, low-impact character of the property. While official groundbreaking took place in October of 2023, the project is slated to be completed in September of 2025. Construction and grow-in phases of the project will be ongoing well into next summer.
