Set among the natural surrounds of Kembla Grange, The Grange Golf Club is home to an established 18-hole course maintained with care, precision and pride.

As we continue to invest in our course and facilities, we’re looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice Greenkeeper to join our Course Maintenance team and begin a rewarding career in sports turf management.

The Opportunity This is a full-time apprenticeship combining practical, hands-on experience with formal study towards a Certificate III in Sports Turf Management through TAFE NSW at Yallah.

Working alongside our Course Superintendent and experienced greenkeeping team, you’ll learn all aspects of modern golf course maintenance while developing the skills and knowledge needed to build a long-term career in the industry.

What You’ll Learn and Do You’ll gain practical experience in:

Golf course presentation and daily course setup

Turf and plant health management

Preparing the course for competitions and tournaments

Irrigation and water management

Machinery operation and basic maintenance

Turf renovation and course improvement projects

Secure chemical handling and application

Workplace health and safety

You’ll be supported throughout your apprenticeship by experienced turf professionals who take pride in the course they maintain—and in helping the next generation learn the trade.

About You We’re looking for someone with the right attitude and a genuine interest in developing a career in sports turf management.

You’ll ideally be:





Reliable, punctual and motivated

Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions

Physically fit and willing to undertake hands-on work

Detail-oriented, with pride in a job well done

A positive team member with good communication skills

Eager to learn and open to feedback

Able to commit to the training requirements of an apprenticeship

In possession of a valid driver’s licence or reliable transport

Experience in gardening, landscaping, machinery, sports turf or golf would be an advantage, but it isn’t essential. Attitude, commitment and reliability matter most.

Why Join The Grange?

A nationally recognised qualification

Training and study support

Direct mentoring from experienced turf professionals

Apprentice rates in line with the relevant award

Applicable overtime and penalty rates

Uniforms, boots and personal protective equipment supplied

Half-price golf membership at The Grange

Work Hours and Roster This is a full-time, 38-hour-per-week position. The typical roster is:

Monday: 5:30am–2:00pm

Tuesday to Friday: 5:30am–1:30pm

Start and finish times may vary with daylight saving and operational requirements. Weekend work and overtime may also be available during tournaments, course renovations and peak periods.
