The Grounds Manager plays a key role in maintaining the overall aesthetic and environmental quality of the golf course property — including entrances, perimeters, lakes, and gardens. This role ensures the grounds reflect the high standards and natural beauty expected at a premier golf destination.

Wild Spring Dunes will be a public golf resort and refuge with world-class golf, accommodations, and homesites. Two courses are routed with plans established for a short course and practice center.

Set on over 2,400 sandy, secluded acres, here you will find dramatic elevation changes that highlight four distinct and diverse ecosystems: towering pines and hardwood forest, open, grassy meadows, rolling hills, and steep ravines carved by spring-fed creeks that crawl through the secluded site. Wild Spring Dunes is an escape, a destination, a place to come together in community – a home for golf and wilderness lovers alike.
