QUAIL HOLLOW CLUB Student Internship Overview The internship we offer is extensive and well rounded.

Interns will receive hands on experience on all aspects of

golf course maintenance and championship preparation.

Everything from equipment operation to transition

management will be covered. Also, students will be given

leadership opportunities and will see the full extent of

maintaining a course at tournament level. Each intern will

be paired up with an Assistant Superintendent to serve as their personal mentor for the summer months.

Quail Hollow Club interns will be given the opportunity to train with veteran staff members who have succeeded 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

maintenance. Your exposure to new tasks will depend on

your ability to accomplish assigned duties to our

expectations.

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.

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

host to the Wells Fargo Championship (2016, 2018 & 2019). A few notable winners in the past have been: Jim

Championship in 2017 and the President’s Cup in 2020.

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).
