About the Property

Founded in 1992, the Raven Golf Club at Snowshoe Mountain Resort is one of West Virginia’s premier golf destinations. Designed by Gary Player, the course features Bentgrass fairways and greens, dramatic elevation changes, and has hosted numerous professional and amateur events.

Located at elevation, the property benefits from an approximately eight-month growing season, cooler summer temperatures, and historically low disease pressure, allowing the maintenance team to focus on turf quality, playability, and sustainability rather than constant reactive disease management. The environment supports strong Bentgrass performance and offers an excellent quality of life for agronomy professionals seeking balance without sacrificing course standards.

We are seeking an experienced Golf Course Superintendent with the leadership presence to take on limited operational and administrative responsibilities. This is not a traditional General Manager/Superintendent role.

• Food & Beverage operations and Golf Shop merchandising are managed separately
• Administrative duties are light and focused, primarily related to budgeting, planning, and coordination
• The role is hands-on, agronomy-driven, with authority to lead course conditions, maintenance strategy, and the maintenance team

This position is ideal for a Superintendent who wants autonomy, a premier golf product, and a seat at the leadership table—without being pulled into retail or restaurant management.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary Range: $90,000 – $100,000
• Bonus: Up to $10,000 annually based on operational and financial performance
• Benefits Package Includes:
• • Medical, Dental, Vision
  • Life, Short-Term & Long-Term Disability
  • 401(k)
  • Paid Time Off
  • GCSAA Dues Paid
  • Market-competitive additional benefits
