Equipment Manager Position

About Pocasset Golf Club

Founded in 1916, Pocasset Golf Club started as a 9-hole golf course. In the early 1920s, legendary designer Donald Ross redesigned the original nine holes and added an additional nine, creating layouts that remain a testament to his vision. The Club is set on 120 acres of rolling, natural terrain. Since becoming a private club in 1989, the course has undergone a full restoration in the classic Ross tradition. Forse Design, the club’s architect since 2001, continues to guide course enhancements, including an updated master plan scheduled for implementation in the fall of 2025.
