Class code 9072 — Golf Course/Country Club
Grounds crew and clubhouse staff at a recreational club.
This classification covers golf courses and country clubs, combining outdoor grounds maintenance with clubhouse hospitality operations. It's a distinctive mix because the same facility often runs a landscaping-style crew alongside dining, event, and pro-shop staff.
Payroll typically includes greenskeepers and grounds crew, cart attendants, pro-shop staff, clubhouse servers and bartenders, and event or banquet staff for weddings and outings. Grounds crews spend long hours operating mowers and irrigation equipment across large properties, while clubhouse staff handle more typical food-and-beverage duties.
Injury exposure splits along these two halves of the operation: grounds crews face equipment-related injuries, heat exposure, and strain from manual landscaping tasks, while clubhouse staff see the usual restaurant and bar-type risks of burns, cuts, and slips. The combination generally makes this classification broader in exposure than either a standalone restaurant or a grounds-maintenance operation alone.
