Founded in 1920, Saucon Valley Country Club boasts three championship golf courses set across 860 acres. Located an hour north of Philadelphia in the Lehigh Valley, it is recognized as a Top Platinum Club of America. The club has hosted eight USGA events and is notable for being the first club to host three U.S. Senior Open Championships (in 1992, 2000, and 2022). Additionally, Saucon Valley Country Club has been selected to host five more future USGA events, starting with the upcoming 2026 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.   

Immediately following this championship, the club will begin constructing a new practice facility designed by Andrew Green. This facility will feature a double ended tee, an extensive short-game practice area, and an enclosed performance center. At the same time, a state-of-the-art Rain Bird irrigation system will be installed encompassing all 60 holes.

 Saucon Valley Country Club is seeking motivated individuals eager to excel in the golf course industry. We offer students an exceptional internship at a unique facility. Interns will gain experience in championship-level conditioning at a multi-course private country club, with a strong emphasis on tournament preparation and setup, as well as golf course construction and irrigation installation.

Students are encouraged to ask questions and engage in daily discussions regarding course and staff management, projects, and agronomic and cultural practices. With 60 holes of golf, interns will be exposed to all aspects of golf course maintenance, focusing on:

 - Maintaining Bentgrass and Poa Annua on USGA and push-up greens

- Leading staff on small projects and assisting in crew management

- Play a vital role in executing a critical water management program

- Chemical and fertilizer applications and calibrations and records

- Irrigation installation, troubleshooting, and repair

- Daily course management focusing on championship conditioning

- Developing critical thinking skills in a multi-course facility

- Learning basic to advanced agronomic management practices in a fast paced environment

Students must be enrolled in a 2 or 4 year Turf Management (or related) program.

Prior golf course experience is preferred but not required.
