2016 Student Internship Program

QUAIL HOLLOW CLUB

Student Internship Overview

The internship we offer at Quail Hollow Club is extensive

and well rounded. Interns will receive hands on experience

on all aspects of golf course maintenance and championship

preparation. Our interns will be given leadership

opportunities and challenged to be their best each day.

On top of the experience gained from daily course maintenance, construction projects, tournament preparation and

recovery, we offer training seminars twice a month taught by the golf course superintendent covering all aspects of

golf course maintenance and agronomy. Quail Hollow Club interns will be given the opportunity to train with veteran

staff members who have had success at the highest level. We actively seek student interns worthy of the challenges

inherent to a golf organization of this caliber. Our interns must possess a strong work ethic, high character and an

enthusiastic positive attitude.

A significant portion of this internship program will

include accurate pesticide calibration and application,

proper watering techniques, and golf course setup; you will

be formally trained in the daily operation of golf course

maintenance.

Our turf grass program is designed to teach you the

fundamentals required to be successful in the golf course

industry. You will leave Quail Hollow Club more qualified

to excel if you have enthusiasm and are willing to work the

hours for success at this level. Our interns will also be given

the opportunity to volunteer at another professional

tournament during their time at Quail Hollow Club.

Quail Hollow Club has hosted the Kemper Open Invitational Golf Tournament (1969-1979), the World Seniors

Invitational Golf Tournament (1980-1989) and has been a part of the PGA Tour for the past 15 years. We are

currently the host for the Wells Fargo Championship which is played in early May each year. A few notable winners

in the past have been: Jim Furyk (2006), Tiger Woods (2007), Rory Mcllroy (2010,2015), and Rickie Fowler (2012).

The club will also host the PGA Championship in 2017 and the President’s Cup in 2021.

Quail Hollow Club has what is considered by some tour pros to be the hardest three finishing holes on tour,

famously named “The Green Mile.” (Pictured Below).
