Position Title / Facility Information:

Hidden Valley Country Club located in Sandy, Utah is currently seeking a Golf Course Superintendent to lead the Golf Course and grounds maintenance operation.

Hidden Valley is a 27-hole private member owned facility located at the foothills of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains. Approximately 15 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, the Hidden Valley area is located just minutes from several world class ski resorts and an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities. The area is also close in proximity to several colleges and universities, including the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. Salt Lake City was put on the world map after hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics. As a result of welcoming the world, the greater Salt Lake and Park City areas have expanded upon their sporting and cultural venues that have become the envy of the intermountain region.

As a Country Club, Hidden Valley has served as a host to several state and local events and is continuously rated and well-regarded and one of the top Clubs in the state. Originally designed by William Bell Jr., Hidden Valley was ranked #1 in Utah by Golf Digest in 2001-2002. In 2007 the course began an extensive irrigation upgrade which has improved playing conditions and water management. The Club has made additional upgrades and improvements to the course over the last three years following the Club’s Rees Jones Master Redesign that is now in place.  The Club has a very active membership with an average age of 57.

Hidden Valley Country Club has employed only two Superintendents in the last 40+ years.
