This 80t-year-old 9 hole course is nestled in the heart of the Palouse in Moscow, Idaho. We are looking for a new superintendent to take over management of the course. If you are looking for an opportunity to move to North Idaho and be involved in a friendly community and family oriented environment, this is it!

The opportunity is a 12 month contract with time off from Thanksgiving to February 15th. Given we are a small course, the superintendent needs a broad skillset.
