Seasonal Agronomy Intern

Course Descriptions

Wicker Point Golf Club

Wicker Point Golf Club is the only Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design in Alabama. Nestled along the Wicker Point peninsula on the pristine shores of Lake Martin, this private course is defined by serene pine plantations, meandering creeks, and a spectacular lakefront back nine. The course opened in September 2023 and features Zeon zoysia tees, fairways, and rough, TifEagle bermuda greens, TifTuf bermuda driving range, and native grasses framing the edges of the holes.

Recognition: Golf Digest runner-up in the 2023 Best New Private Course category and ranked #2 in Alabama in its first year of eligibility. GOLF Magazine ranked the course #1 in the state in 2025.

Willow Point Golf amp; Country Club

Willow Point Golf amp; Country Club is in the final stages of a renovation led by world-renowned golf course architects Dana Fry and Jason Straka. The large-scale renovation modernized the greens, tees, fairways, bunkers, and irrigation system. Two areas of focus during the renovation were to lower the elevation of all the greens positioned on Lake Martin to improve playability and sightlines of the lake, and update the positioning and style of bunkers to a “Bullnose” sodded rolled edge to enhance the lines and shadows across all the property. The course will reopen in late spring or early summer of 2026.

The renovated championship layout blends two distinct experiences. The front nine features tree-lined fairways winding away from Lake Martin before returning to the shoreline. The final nine boasts six dramatic holes along Lake Martin with expansive water views. The redesigned course will place high value on accuracy off the tee and precise irons into guarded greens complexes. When complete, Willow Point will play nearly 7,600 yards and feature Zeon Zoysia tees and fairways, TifEagle bermuda greens, 419 bermuda rough and Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue.

Internship Overview

This program is designed to prepare interns for the next step in their careers as Assistant Superintendents. We accomplish this goal by getting to know to each intern’s strengths and weaknesses in turf grass management and then customizing their weekly routines to allow them to grow in areas they need to focus on. Interns will work directly with the Director of Agronomy, Golf Course Superintendents, and Assistant Superintendents to gain hands-on experience in all facets of modern golf course management. Interns will have the opportunity to attend morning and afternoon meetings learning big-picture scheduling and budgeting, along with preparing themselves to be part of a professional office place upon graduation.

Unique Advantage: Interns split time between two clubs, learning the contrasts in required maintenance practices between:

  • Willow Point – a Fry Straka championship course with a balance of precision beauty, playability, and dramatic lakefront golf
  • Wicker Point – a Coore amp; Crenshaw design featuring natural, firm, and contour-driven design where conditioning emphasizes strategic ground game play

Responsibilities

Interns will be involved in all aspects of sophisticated golf course maintenance, including:

  • Daily course preparation and setup
  • Equipment operation
  • Water management and moisture control
  • Golf course specific cultural practices for TifEagle greens, Zeon Zoysia tees/fairways/rough, and 419 Bermuda rough, and native areas
  • Fertilizer and pesticide calibration, mixing, and application (including training on GPS sprayers)
  • Crew leadership and staff management
  • Troubleshooting and repairing Toro 2-wire and Smart Satellite irrigation systems
