What are the responsibilities and job description for the Second Assistant Golf Course Superintendent Construction position at Dream Golf?
This isn’t just mowing greens and checking boxes. As the Second Assistant Superintendent, you’re part of the team that keeps the course healthy, playable, and evolving — especially during construction and grow-in. You’ll help manage people, projects, and turf. You’ll work with budgets, equipment, and schedules. You’ll solve problems in real time and make decisions that directly impact the quality of the course.
You’re not just maintaining a golf course — you’re helping build one. That means your job will shift with the seasons, the weather, and the progress on the ground. Some days, you’ll be in the field, hands-on; other days, you’ll be supporting the team behind the scenes, planning and ensuring everything is running smoothly.
This role is for someone ready to lead when needed, learn every day, and take pride in doing quality work with a strong, reliable team.
Where soul-stirring golf meets the spirit of the American West.
Rodeo Dunes is a public golf resort developed by Michael and Chris Keiser, owners of Sand Valley Golf Resort. Situated less than an hour's drive from Denver and Denver International Airport, Rodeo Dunes offers a balance of both accessibility and escape.

Two-course routings are complete – one by the acclaimed duo of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, and the other marking the solo debut of longtime C&C associate Jimmy Craig.
With a rollicking, sandy dunescape, welcoming Western hospitality, and inspiring long views of the Rocky Mountains, Rodeo Dunes is set to come out of the gate as one of the world’s great new golf experiences.
