POSITION: GOLF COURSE INTERNHERMITAGE COUNTRY CLUB

Manakin Sabot, VA

COURSE INFORMATIONHermitage Country Club is a 36 hole private club formed in 1900. It is located on the west end of Richmond, about 30 minutes from downtown. The course is situated in a rural area yet services urban clientele. Bentgrass greens, bermudagrass tees, fairways, and roughs summarize the playing surfaces on property. A complete re-grassing was recently finished on the Manakin Course. Cool season turf (save for the greens) was replaced with Latitude36 bermudagrass. The Sabot course is currently undergoing a Bluemuda conversion and a full irrigation system renovation is being planned.

Regardless of the student’s previous golf course experience, Hermitage will demand the most possible to secure understanding and an elevated skill set by the internship’s end. We have all the toys to learn with including the following: a gps sprayer, moisture meters, a drone, an excavator, etc. Please explore the club website as well as the Green Department Blog.
