Assistant Superintendent

Burning Tree Club, founded in 1922, is an 18-hole private golf club located just inside the Capital Beltway of Washington, DC.  Originally designed by C.H. Alison of Colt, Mackenzie, and Alison.  The club underwent a restoration project in 2019-2020 guided by Gil Hanse. This consisted of Green and Fairway expansions, new designed bunkers with Better Billy Bunker method, new practice facility and new RainBird IC Irrigation system.

Burning Tree Club has 16 greens that are native soil from 1922 and 6 renovated greens that are sand based, all of which are 007 Bentgrass. Fairways were renovated in 2015, converting the surfaces to a blend of 007 and SR1150 Bentgrass. Tees are 007 Bentgrass and PennCross.

This position will provide an excellent opportunity to manage turf through the summer stress experienced in the transition zone. We balance growing and managing the turf for its continued health and exceptional playability.  Assistants will gain experience with rainbird irrigation, GPS chemical applications, crew management, disease identification and the business side of being a golf course superintendent.
