Superintendent

The superintendent is the person responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of a golf course.

Want to become a superintendent or assistant superintendent?

There are different ways to start your new career. Here is a traditional career path taken by many superintendents who have joined the QGSA in recent years:

• Start out as a course worker at a golf club where the superintendent is a QGSA member.
• Ask your superintendent questions about his work and find out whether you’re really interested.
• Get the training you need to climb the ranks by taking the part-time winter Cégep-level course available from ITA or another educational institution (see below).
• Apply for a QGSA bursary through the superintendent at your golf course, and ask your employer about tax measures to encourage training.
• The ITA’s 600-hour program comprises three levels taught over a two-year period, depending on demand. Students perfect their skills and knowledge, become more effective in their work, and open up numerous job possibilities in one of the world’s best professions.
• Join the QGSA and take advantage of professional development opportunities, access to trade journals and documentation available in the website section reserved for members.
