Job Description
Seasonal Greenskeeper
Minnehaha Country Club is celebrating our 119th year of operations and is Sioux Falls’ premier country club, operates year-round and serves a membership of approximately 740 families. The Club features an immaculate championship 18-hole golf course and one of the finest restaurants in Sioux Falls, as well as swimming, tennis, and fitness amenities.
The Grounds Maintenance team at Minnehaha is unique and always looking to find individuals who work well with others and enjoy being outside. We have a great culture with passionate associates who like to have fun at work. Seasonal position openings can fill quickly in the winter, but openings can also happen any time, including the middle or end of the season. We have many part-time positions and often have positions open for entry level to experienced equipment operators. For some, this is the ideal part-time or seasonal position. If you think you may be interested, please apply.
The Greenskeepers, under the direction of the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendents, perform all of the necessary maintenance to the golf course and club grounds to provide the highest level of turf conditioning and aesthetics. The Grounds Maintenance team has little interaction with members as we strive to complete the necessary work ahead of daily play. Our work is mostly performed in the early morning hours in all types of weather throughout the golf season. Our strength is in our diversity and flexibility as we have many associates that perform multiple tasks that fit within their abilities and schedule. Duties include; mowing and maintaining green, tee, fairway and rough turfgrasses, machine and hand grooming bunker areas, fly mowing, push mowing, edging, string trimming, blowing debris, and other general light-duty tasks. We have a strong fleet of equipment to maintain the golf course. Extensive training is provided to ensure safety and provide the confidence required to complete each task at a high level.
Seasonal Greenskeeper positions can become available throughout the season. We encourage anyone with interest to contact us anytime to see if we have something that fits what you are looking for.
