AJ Jolly Golf Course is a public asset Campbell County families have used for decades. It’s now running on modern tools, in the ground, and on the cart path. The two people leading the work both grew up here.

Tim Mason learned the course from his dad, the superintendent before him, and now wears the same title. He spent his childhood at AJ Jolly and went on to work at other local courses before the superintendent job opened up at home.

His first project was the sprinkler system. The maps were worn, smudged, and sometimes missing pages. Finding a buried valve during a leak could take hours. Picking the wrong valve made the problem worse.

Tim led the project to map the full system with survey-grade GPS. Every valve and sprinkler head on the 18-hole course is now mapped to within inches of its actual location. Crews pull the map up on a phone or tablet and drive straight to the valve.

Brian Lambdin started at AJ Jolly as a cart kid. He went on to work at three other local courses before coming home as Director of Golf.

Brian brought in Pace Technology GPS golf carts. Players get hole layouts, real-time yardage to the pin, weather alerts on the cart screen, Bluetooth music from their phones, and a direct line to staff during storms. The carts speed up play, raising the player experience.

Two homecomings. One innovative golf course. This is what responsible stewardship of a community resource looks like.
