Experienced Greenkeeper – Royal Auckland and Grange (NZ)

Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand

The Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club (RAGGC) is a private member golf club in Auckland, New Zealand. We are currently looking for a Qualified Greenkeeper to join our Agronomy team. We would also consider a 2nd or 3rd year trainee if they are looking to broaden their training opportunities at a leading turf maintenance facility with an impressive inventory of specialist turf machinery and equipment.

RAGGC is a 27-hole facility with three (3) separate 9-hole courses. We have 34 bentgrass greens on the property along with approximately 2.5ha of bentgrass tees and over 20ha of couch grass fairways. We also have exciting technology such as SubAir, Better Billy Bunker, Rainbird irrigation, moisture management systems (Pogo), Human resource and consumable tracking software (Task Tracker), drone technology and of course extremely high-quality turf.

Since 1894 our golf club has a proud and long history and has recently completed a major rebuild project. Our playing surfaces are world-class, and we are looking for a positive individual who wants to learn new skills under a team of very accomplished turf managers. Our entire agronomy team at RAGGC operate with very high standards and have a very high attention to detail. Our large team have excellent communication skills and value our team ethics. Our colleagues have enormous pride in our workmanship but always take the opportunity to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. Any new staff member must have a similar outlook.
