Website Queenstown Golf Club

Lead one of New Zealand’s most exciting golf course transformation projects.

This is far more than a Course Superintendent role.

It is an opportunity to shape the future of one of New Zealand’s most iconic golf courses, located in the heart of one of the world’s premier tourism destinations.

Queenstown Golf Club is in the midst of a bold, long-term transformation. A comprehensive masterplan is underway, highlighted by a complete irrigation redevelopment, strategic course improvements, enhanced environmental initiatives and an ongoing commitment to delivering one of New Zealand’s most visually spectacular golfing experiences.

We’re looking for a visionary leader who can turn ambitious plans into reality.

The Opportunity

As Course Superintendent, you will lead the execution of our course masterplan while maintaining exceptional daily presentation standards across one of the country’s most photographed golf courses.

Working alongside an experienced General Manager, a supportive Board and a highly capable established greenkeeping team, you will have the resources, trust and backing to deliver meaningful change over the coming decade.

This role offers the rare balance of strategic leadership and hands-on course management in an environment where innovation is encouraged and investment is genuine.

About You

You’re an exceptional turf professional, but equally a leader who enjoys building teams, delivering projects and creating something lasting.

You will bring:

  • Proven leadership of high-performing course maintenance teams.
  • The ability to execute major capital and infrastructure projects.
  • A passion for course presentation and exceptional playing surfaces.
  • Strong planning, budgeting and resource management skills.
  • An innovative mindset that embraces technology, sustainability and continuous improvement.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with members, management and governance.
  • A desire to leave a legacy through thoughtful long-term course development.

Most importantly, you are someone who sees opportunity where others see maintenance.

Why Queenstown Golf Club?

This is your chance to work in a golfing environment unlike any other.

You’ll be leading a course that:

  • Sits in one of the world’s great alpine landscapes.
  • Welcomes golfers from across New Zealand and around the globe.
  • Has a passionate and loyal membership committed to the Club’s future.
  • Is investing significantly in infrastructure and course improvements.
  • Is supported by an experienced management team that values innovation, collaboration and professional development.
  • Has a clear long-term vision and the commitment to deliver it.

The Lifestyle

Queenstown offers an unparalleled lifestyle where world-class golf meets world-class adventure.

Whether your passion is skiing, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, boating or simply enjoying one of the most spectacular places on earth, this is an opportunity to combine an outstanding career with an extraordinary way of life.
