Champions Golf Club
Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas is looking to hire a full-time Equipment Manager to manage and oversee its maintenance facilities and equipment fleet. This individual will play a key role in the overall success and functionality of our Golf Course Maintenance operation.
About Champions Golf Club:
Our History - Founded by the late Jack Burke, Jr. and Jimmy Demaret in 1957, Champions Golf Club is one of the most historic, classic golf courses in Texas. From its origin, Champions has consistently carved its place in golf history hosting the 1967 Ryder Cup Matches, 1969 US Open, 1993 US Amateur, several PGA Tour Championships as well as numerous other professional and amateur golf tournaments. With over 300 single digit handicappers, Champions is known around the world as a “Players Club” with an expectation for championship conditions every day. Our Courses – Champions Golf Club consists of two, 18-hole championship golf courses located on the Northwest side of Houston.

The greens and bunkers were completely renovated prior to the US Women’s Open in 2018, and the turfgrass consists of 419 bermuda rough, tees, and fairways, and TifEagle Ultradwarf greens. The Jack Rabbit Course, originally designed by George Fazio in 1964 and completely renovated by Tom Fazio in 2002, offers a unique playing experience for Northwest Harris County. By introducing some elevation changes and depth to the property, Fazio and his crew brought more of an Australian Sandbelt style that provides a welcomed contrast to the Cypress Creek course.
