The Glencoe Golf & Country Club is one of the largest golf courses in Canada with 45 holes on three beautiful and challenging courses. Currently undertaking the Lakes/Slopes project, the Lakes 9 is slated to reopen in 2027 with the Slopes 9 construction now underway and scheduled to reopen in 2028. Pair the existing golf courses and major improvement projects with a world-class practice facility and knowledgeable staff, a lasting impression is made on everyone who plays here.

Vision
A world class private club inspiring excellence in sport and creating enriching wellness and social experiences.

Mission
To deliver exceptional experiences through premier facilities and programming that engage our membership and nurture community.

We are seeking individuals enrolled in a turf management program who possess a passion for the game of golf to be part of our leadership group and help guide a maintenance team of 70+ people as we work to create exceptional experiences for our members, guests, and employees. As part of this program interns will be exposed to as many aspects of the turf maintenance operation as possible.

The internship will be purpose-built to best fit each individual’s experience, goals and needs to ensure professional growth and provide a positive experience each season. The program works to advance these individuals from entry level Intern, to experienced Interns with a robust skillset, up to the Assistant In Training (AIT) role, which includes higher level management opportunities from daily planning to long term strategic meetings. Individuals in this program begin the season by reviewing the Internship Package and complete a goal setting session to establish skillsets along with gaps that initiate goals for the upcoming season. Goals from basic turf skills to developing product application competencies, irrigation repair and installation, and leadership opportunities are established at the outset. Progress is regularly tracked and reviewed through ongoing follow ups throughout the season to ensure goals are being achieved.

The program has developed these team members into management roles at The Glencoe and other clubs within the industry. With current management opportunities, the ongoing Lakes/Slopes project, and continuous improvement projects throughout the property, the team is entering an exciting period of growth and development. This provides a unique opportunity to be part of the club’s continued evolution, gain valuable experience, and contribute to achieving the clubs mission and vision.
