What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Superintendent position at Troon?
Seminole Legacy Golf Club is looking for a highly motivated, passionate, assistant golf course superintendent.

Renovation also included brand new irrigation system and all bunkers lined with Capillary Concrete. Starting next fall and into the summer of 2025, SLGC will undergo a smaller renovation that will include new bunker sand, redesign and rebuild of two greens, a few new tees, and all collar/approach tie-in to greens. A new maintenance shop is heading to design phase and will begin construction late fall.
With the recent renovation in 2019 and the upcoming changes in 2025 will reflect how Florida State University provides the necessary resources for their student athletes to be successful.
