How to become an assistant golf course superintendent?

The qualifications for becoming an assistant golf course superintendent include a degree in turf management or agronomic studies. These degrees are available as postsecondary certificates or associate degrees. Experience in golf course management is also essential, and extensive experience may sometimes negate the need for a postsecondary degree. Computer skills are vital for this career and some states require course superintendent staff to have a certificate for pesticide application. You can also gain professional certification from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America as a qualification.
