The Ohio State University Golf Course Management Program

Golf Management CertificateThis certificate  was developed to challenge and test individuals of all ages interested in advancing their knowledge in golf course management.  Introductory in nature, 7 modules covering cool and warm season turfgrasses, cultural management practices and turfgrass pests comprise the certificate program.

 

The subject area is broad enough to be applicable to turf conditions globally.  The on-line lectures were developed by leading turfgrasses researchers and educators at The Ohio State University specifically for golf course management.

Regardless of location, the program was created for individuals to work at their own pace and at a time most suited for them.   Course presentations, references, faculty interaction, and testing are completed on-line.  The only requirement is that the course be completed within a 10-week period.  The certificate program has been approved for 0.35 GCSAA educational points.
