The Club I worked for, had 45 holes. 36 first class private golf course holes and 9 holes of public golf. We had a general super who was getting paid over $200,000/year. Each of the courses had their own superintendent who was paid north of $100,000. Each had an assistant & 2 other full-time employees, plus 15-20 seasonal employees. So we had over 40 employees during the season.
We had 2 golf courses on the same property (the public 9, across the street). Maintenance and cultivation practices between the 2 courses, was completely different. Different soils, different kinds of grass, different weather conditions, different needs.
Being a superintendent is a micro-management position. Every course is different, there's no "one size fits all" ... even for different holes on the same golf course.

I agree, I’m thinking there’s a Villages overseer of each section, each course would have someone overseeing each course, but within the outsourcing firm.
It has to be better than one person overseeing everything.
