As the UK’s leading golf retailer, we’re on a mission to be the one-stop destination for everything a golfer needs – and that includes ensuring our courses are maintained to the highest standards. We’re currently looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Greenkeeper Assistant to join our team at Barnehurst Golf Course.

* Integrity – in how we manage, maintain, and care for our courses
* Drive – to achieve the highest standards across every area of the course
* Expertise – in turf care, equipment, and greenkeeping practices
We’re looking for someone who lives these values every day and brings them to life in how they work.
How You’ll Make an Impact
* Cut greens, tees, fairways, and rough to maintain playing surfaces.
* Carry out routine maintenance such as verti-draining and hollow coring.
* Maintain bunkers to a high standard.
* Blow and sweep greens and tees to ensure presentation.
