TURF TALK

Dan Harris

Born and raised in Flemington, New Jersey, I began playing golf with my father and grandfather at a very young age. I quickly fell in love with the game, and my passion for golf drove me to pursue a career in the turfgrass industry.

I pursued a turfgrass degree at Horry Georgetown Technical College and during school I completed a summer internship at Muirfield Village Golf Club, where I helped host the 2017 Memorial Tournament. While at Muirfield Village Golf Club I learned the intricacies and management of tournament quality bentgrass putting surfaces Upon graduation from Horry Georgetown Technical College, I continued my career at Merion Golf Club Merion helped me grow both personally and professionally. I then moved to Duluth, Georgia where I was hired as Assistant Golf Course Superintendent at TPC Sugarloaf. I was exposed to all aspects of golf course construction as well as successful preparation and execution of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic in both 2018 and 2019. In the summer of 2019, I moved on to be the Assistant Golf Course Superintendent at Charlotte Country Club, where my career accelerated the most. I was involved in all day-to-day operations, agronomic planning, staff management, golf course construction and budgeting All these experiences and the mentoring I received, especially at Charlotte Country Club, has molded me into the professional I am today

I am thrilled to be the new Golf Course Superintendent at The River Club, where everyone will see my passion and dedication to the golf course, the membership, and The River Club every day. I look forward to meeting you all and giving you a golf course that you are proud to call home.
