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

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