Job description
Brookfield Country Club is a private, member-owned club located in Clarence, NY, just outside Buffalo. Established in 1927, Brookfield is known for its classic parkland architecture, tree-lined corridors, and commitment to elite playing conditions. The course hosts major regional tournaments—including the 2025 New York State Senior Amateur and annual WNYPGA sectional events—and is entering a multi-year facility modernization that includes master planning, architect selection, bunker and tee renovations, and infrastructure upgrades.
This position is opening because our current Senior Assistant has accepted his own superintendent position—continuing a strong internal tradition of professional advancement. Brookfield is seeking a motivated, career-driven Senior Assistant Superintendent ready to take on meaningful leadership responsibility and prepare for a superintendent role in the near future.
The selected candidate will work directly with Superintendent Ian Danner, gaining access to a robust national network of industry leaders and receiving mentorship, project involvement, and tournament exposure rarely offered at the assistant level.
This role is intentionally structured for future superintendents:
- Increasing operational autonomy
- Project ownership from planning to completion
- Leadership in staff development and daily decision-making
- Opportunities to lead major agronomic programs
- Education, conference, and tournament volunteer support
Our last Senior Assistant became a superintendent—this position is for the next one.
Brookfield is entering a significant improvement cycle. The Senior Assistant will be involved in:
- Golf course architect selection
- Reviewing and shaping proposed design concepts
- Bunker, tee, drainage, and infrastructure renovation
- Early planning for long‑term irrigation replacement
- Host of 2025 NYS Senior Amateur Championship
- Annual WNYPGA events
- You will play a key role in preparing championship‑caliber conditions, gaining exposure to high‑pressure agronomy and event management.
The role includes:
- Equipment demos and evaluation
- Multi‑year fleet planning
- Relationship building with major manufacturers and reps
- Participation in capital budgeting and presentations
- Assist in leading, training, and developing the grounds staff
- Daily monitoring and quality control of turf conditions
- Plant protectant and fertility applications
- Rainbird Irrigation troubleshooting, scheduling, and system management
- Project planning, documentation, and execution
- Tournament preparation and detail work
- Winter operations including tree work, drainage, and snow mold applications
- $62,000 to $80,000
- Health Insurance
