Salaries continue to rise
Golf courses recognize that an investment in golf course superintendents is an investment in the golf facility, and the average salary for superintendents climbed to $109,621 annually. In fact, superintendent salaries have more than doubled in the last few decades. Salaries are also on the rise for assistant superintendents and equipment managers.
