Greenkeepers

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Greenkeeping team at St Andrews Links, one of the most iconic venues in world golf. Home to eight unique courses – including the legendary Old Course at St Andrews – alongside a state-of-the-art Golf Academy, four clubhouses, and six retail outlets, St Andrews Links welcomes golfers from across the globe year-round.

We are looking for passionate and motivated Greenkeepers to help maintain our courses to the exceptional standards expected of a world-class golfing destination. Working as part of a high-performing team, you will play a key role in preparing championship and public courses for daily play, ensuring outstanding playing surfaces and memorable experiences for every golfer.

This is an exciting time to become part of the team. St Andrews Links hosts a busy calendar of prestigious events throughout the year, including the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the DP World Tour, while preparations continue for the return of The Open Championship to the Old Course in 2027.

This role is ideally suited to a qualified Greenkeeper who is eager to develop their skills, broaden their experience, and contribute to maintaining some of the most renowned golf courses in the world. If you take pride in attention to detail, enjoy working outdoors, and are passionate about delivering excellence, we would love to hear from you.

St Andrews, separating the farmland and the dunes of the beach, was ideal for golf and, in 1552, Archbishop Hamilton issued a Charter formally recognising the right of the people of St Andrews to use the Links for golf.

Over centuries a recognised routing with set holes took shape and by 1764 18 holes were established, becoming the standard bearer for the game wherever it is played.

Over the next 250 years St Andrews Links would be transformed, undertaking a dramatic transformation of the golfing landscape with six further golf courses, three clubhouses, a state-of-the-art Golf Academy and five official stores, all making it the most renowned golf complex in the world.

If you love golf then there is no better place to work, however that isn’t essential to be a success here. As a custodian of the Links, we don’t need you to be a golfer, we simply need you to be brilliant at what you do and appreciate the game.
