Martis Camp is currently seeking self-motivated, detail-oriented candidates to apply for an internship position available for this upcoming 2022 season. This position will work under the supervision of the Golf Course Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendents. Jobs will include but are not limited to daily course setup, mower operations, fertilizer and pesticide calibration and application, irrigation maintenance and repair, hand watering, topdressing, and aerification. As an intern you will be heavily involved in data collection and assisting in making agronomic choices. We monitor VWC in greens daily, clipping volume, sand topdressing collection and water quality management. We are on the cutting edge of new technology and actively applying this data to help us make data driven solutions. We are committed to elimination of poa in our putting surfaces and teeing grounds. We deploy a multitude of tactics to remove poa mechanically, chemically and through cultural practices that inhibit poa growth. You will be a part of regressing select tees and approaches that have poa levels over our acceptable threshold. Managing pure A-4 putting surfaces in a short growing season is a skill that every turf student should learn and at Martis Camp you have that opportunity. We will help tailor an internship that will add to your current skill set. This will allow us to build upon what you already know and teach you what you need to know be successful in this industry. Not only will you get premier course experience you will be able to attend club meetings, local GCSAA chapter meetings and involved in agronomic planning.

This internship has a flexible schedule that will allow the candidate to enjoy all the exciting outdoor activities the great Lake Tahoe area has to offer. Explore amazing hikes on the Pacific Crest Trail, blue-ribbon fly-fishing waters and world-class skiing at the spring skiing capitol of the world. It is rare to be able to play 18 holes of golf and ski in the same day, but that is all possible with an internship at Martis Camp. Martis Camp will be the host site for the 2023 U.S Senior Amateur Open Aug 26-31, 2023. During the 2022 season you will be involved in extensive course planning, construction projects and communication with the USGA.

As an intern you will be included in the conversation and join the USGA visits. Martis Camp is a private residential community located in north Lake Tahoe.
