We are hiring an Agronomy Intern for May to August in 2026. Our Agronomy Internship is designed to immerse students or recent graduates in every aspect of golf course management at a high-end, multi-course resort in development. Interns will work directly with the agronomy leadership team to build technical expertise and develop leadership skills.

Wild Spring Dunes will be a public golf resort and refuge with world-class golf, accommodations, and homesites. Two courses are routed with plans established for a short course and practice center.

Set on over 2,400 sandy, secluded acres, here you will find dramatic elevation changes that highlight four distinct and diverse ecosystems: towering pines and hardwood forest, open, grassy meadows, rolling hills, and steep ravines carved by spring-fed creeks that crawl through the secluded site. Wild Spring Dunes is an escape, a destination, a place to come together in community – a home for golf and wilderness lovers alike.

• Irrigation Management: Operation, troubleshooting, and repair of irrigation systems; moisture management; POGO data collection.
