Providence Country Club is seeking a positive individual with a good attitude to join our Agronomy Team. This key role provides an opportunity for professional growth and development within a dynamic golf course maintenance operation.

About the Course

Providence Country Club is part of the McConnell Golf portfolio of courses, which includes 16 private clubs stretching across North and South Carolina, and into Tennessee and Virginia. Established in 1989, Providence Country Club is a full-service private club located in Charlotte, North Carolina with a very active membership. Its Dan Maples golf course is the center of activity, anchored by fourteen tennis courts, state-of-the-art aquatic and fitness facilities, as well as modern dining and event spaces.

Since joining the McConnell Golf portfolio in 2016, the clubhouse at Providence has enjoyed $1.3 million in upgrades, including a new fitness center, kid’s room, and Golf Shop, as well as new landscaping. In 2018, the golf course underwent a $3 million renovation by architect Kris Spence to restore bunkers with Capillary Concrete system, add new and expanded irrigation along with a new pump station for better course conditioning, remove 450 trees throughout the course, and transition the greens from bent grass to Champion bermudagrass. A new equipment lease package is coming in April 2026.
