The Club has picturesque river and mountain views and is highly regarded for its excellent greens. In recent years we have hosted the Tasmanian Open and Tasmanian Senior Amateur to much acclaim from local and mainland competitors.

• coordinating day to day work schedules for the team 
• ensuring routine asset maintenance 
• assisting with staff supervision and development, and
• leading the team and work schedule on a relief basis during the Superintendent’s periods of leave.

You’ll fit right in to our team if you:
