What will I be doing?


As a golf greenkeeper at the Carlyon Bay Golf Course you will be responsible for the overall maintenance, presentation, and health of a golf course. The job combines horticulture, environmental management, mechanics, and heavy physical labor.
Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the tasks a greenkeeper performs:
Course Setup & Presentation
  • Changing holes: Cutting new holes on the greens and moving the flagpins to prevent turf wear.
  • Tee marker placement: Moving tee markers daily to ensure even wear on the teeing areas.
  • Raking bunkers: Maintaining sand traps by raking them, smoothing out footprints, and managing bunker edges.
  • Marking hazards: Installing and maintaining hazard stakes (out of bounds, water hazards).
Turf Management & Agronomy
  • Mowing turf: Cutting different areas of the course to highly specific heights (greens, tees, fairways, semi-rough, and rough) using specialized ride-on and walk-behind mowers.
  • Aeration: Punching holes in the turf (hollow tining, solid tining, or vertidraining) to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots.
  • Topdressing: Spreading sand or a sand-mix over the greens to smooth the surface and improve drainage.
  • Weed and pest control: Applying fertilizers, fungicides, and pesticides to protect the grass from diseases, pests, and invasive weeds.
  • Irrigation management: Operating, monitoring, and repairing automated watering systems to keep the grass hydrated without overwatering.
Equipment & Infrastructure Maintenance
  • Machinery maintenance: Cleaning, oiling, and performing basic safety checks on tractors, mowers, and utility vehicles before and after use.
  • Blade sharpening: Ensuring mower cylinders and blades are perfectly sharp to avoid tearing the grass.
  • Drainage work: Installing and unblocking drainage pipes to prevent the course from flooding during heavy rain.
Landscaping & Environmental Work
  • Tree and hedge care: Pruning trees, cutting hedges, and clearing fallen branches or leaves across the estate.
  • Divot repairing: Filling holes on fairways and tees made by golfers' clubs with a seed and soil mixture.
  • Ecology management: Managing wildlife habitats, wetlands, and wildflower areas to encourage biodiversity.
