What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Golf Course Designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Golf Course Designer, you need strong expertise in landscape architecture, environmental planning, and a solid understanding of golf course playability, typically supported by a degree in landscape architecture or a related field. Proficiency with CAD software, GIS mapping tools, and knowledge of sustainability standards are essential technical requirements. Creativity, strong communication, and collaboration skills set exceptional designers apart by enabling them to balance client needs with environmental and aesthetic considerations. These skills ensure the creation of golf courses that are both visually stunning and functional, enhancing player experience and environmental stewardship.

What are the typical collaboration points between a golf course designer and other professionals during a project?

Golf course designers regularly collaborate with landscape architects, civil engineers, environmental consultants, and construction teams throughout a project. Early stages involve working closely with environmental experts to assess land impact, followed by coordination with engineers to address drainage, grading, and infrastructure. Ongoing communication with construction supervisors ensures design vision is implemented correctly, while regular client meetings keep the project aligned with overall goals. Effective teamwork is essential for balancing creative design with practical, sustainable solutions.

What does a golf course designer do?

A golf course designer is responsible for planning, designing, and overseeing the development of golf courses. They consider factors such as landscape, environmental impact, playability, and aesthetics to create courses that challenge players while preserving natural beauty.

Job description

The First Assistant Golf Professional position will assist the Head Golf Professional in all areas including, but not limited to: the management of daily golf operations, including managing the tracking play, control of the tee sheet, protecting and controlling club assets, assisting with all merchandising functions, managing tournaments, teaching lessons and providing other professional services to ensure an exceptional golf experience to our members and guests.
The centerpiece of Brewster, Washington, the Sands and QuickSands Course at Gamble Sands are located on 115 acres of fine fescue grasses, designed by renowned golf course architect David McLay Kidd of DMK Golf Design. At "Gamble," golfers enjoy the feeling of pure golf with panoramic vistas, and the beautiful Cascade Mountains and Columbia River meandering through the distance on every hole. No planes buzz overhead, no traffic rattles in the background. It's you, your playing partners, and golf, the way it was meant to be played. We have four unique golf experiences, including:
Award Winning Gamble Sands Course - Opened 2014
*New* Scarecrow Course - Opened August 1, 2025
14-hole QuickSands Short Course

Experience Required:
  • PGA Member Preferred, but PGA Associates in Level 2 or higher (and in good standing) are encouraged to apply.
  • 1-3 years' experience at a "service oriented" facility (e.g. resort, private or similar) preferred.
  • Retail and any leadership/management experience a plus.
Compensation:
  • Range for hourly pay with base rate (projecting $26-$28/hr) and budgeted OT is projected to range from $54,000-$62,000 and will be commensurate with experience.

  • For the right person, including anyone looking to learn more about the entirety of a resort operation, including possibly becoming an Asst GM, or GM later in their career this could be a solid "learn all of the ropes" type opportunity with Troon Golf.
