Head Greenkeeper

Pryors Hayes Golf Club are currently looking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic Head Greenkeeper to maintain and improve our 18-hole golf course set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside on the outskirts of Chester.

The position would suit either an experienced head greenkeeper or would be a great opportunity for someone with the experience as a deputy to move into the head greenkeeper role.

You would be working with an experienced, hard-working team and only answerable to the owner rather than the members.

Main Duties:

- To programme and arrange and supervise Golf greenkeeping operations.
- To undertake and oversee others in the setting, operation and daily maintenance of specialist golf green keeping equipment, mowing equipment and tractors. To keep detailed and accurate records of work completed and maintenance carried out.
- To supervise by planning, motivating and controlling all associated maintenance across the whole course.
- To plan, organise, oversee and undertake maintenance operations so that the golf course is ready for play whilst causing the least amount of interruption to players and to ensure that no changes occur that could cause a competition to be declared void.
- To identify pest, weed or disease problems and carry out appropriate cultural or chemical control of affected areas. To set-up, calibrate and check spraying equipment.
- To assist in the surveying, planning and construction of new greens, tees and bunker around the course.
- To assist in the production of liquid and granular fertilising equipment and to evenly distribute appropriate feed to greens and tees.
- To attend meetings to ensure the smooth day-to-day operations of the course.
- To provide instruction and training for staff, as required, ensuring that knowledge and experience is shared so the requirements of the service can be achieved and enhanced.
- To oversee the work of third parties and sub-contractors when working on the golf courses, ensuring that they adhere to legislation and Mytime Health & Safety policy.
