The golf course and pool are also taking applications for help in concession stand and mowing during the summer of 2016. Those seeking a mowing job must be able to operate commercial equipment, zero turn mowers and weed eaters, and work early hours. Applicants for the concession stand must be able to count back money, do janitorial duties, snack stand food prep, pro-shop duties, have flexible hours, and having golf knowledge is a plus.

Applicants must be older than 16 years, and weekend shifts are a must. Bring resumes in person to the pro shop at the golf course on Golf Club Drive.
