While our students are working hard gaining the skills and knowledge required for success in their chosen area of the golf industry, our entire staff is continually cultivating and maintaining their list of industry contacts. And with over 50 combined years of experience, the executive staff of PGCC possesses a remarkable “Rolodex.”

From the very first week of the Freshman semester, Placement Directors at each campus start introducing students to a time-tested process for building an individualized career strategy. Students are taught how to set achievable career goals, and are then assisted in developing a plan to reach those goals by graduation. An advisor or “coach” then spends time with each student to revisit and monitor progress toward their goals. And of course, all of the above takes place within the informal “open-door” environment that characterizes PGCC.

Because there are so many different types of golf jobs, course material for each class at the college is tailored to provide information relevant to employment within that sector, whether it is golf instruction, managing a facility, or administering tournament play. In addition, throughout the PGCC program, opportunities abound for student to gain hands-on industry experience through internships and part-time jobs. Many students take advantage of the chance to work at the many golf courses and golf shops in the surrounding communities.

Our students have taken positions as golf professionals, teaching professionals, tournament directors, junior program administrators, general managers of country clubs, sales representatives for leading golf club and apparel companies, and have purchased their own golf courses. Our graduates have also played professionally on tours throughout the world including the European Tour, LPGA Tour, Asian Tour, Korean Tour, and the Scandinavian Tour.

No matter what your passion is for golf, we can find you a position that will help you make your dreams become a reality.
