Welcome Roberto Hernandez
I’m excited to announce that Roberto Hernandez has joined SunBird Golf Club as our new Golf Course Superintendent.
Roberto brings extensive experience in Sonoran Desert agronomy, Bermuda grass management, irrigation, water conservation, and course improvement projects. Most recently, he served as Superintendent at Grass Clippings Rolling Hills in Tempe, where he helped lead the transformation of Arizona’s first fully lit night golf course, overseeing nationally recognized course improvement and infrastructure projects while managing turf restoration efforts and maintaining quality playing conditions.
Prior to that, Roberto spent time at Phoenix Country Club, Palmbrook Country Club, and TPC Scottsdale, helping prepare championship-level conditions for the Waste Management Phoenix Open while delivering the quality playing conditions Arizona golf is known for.
You’ll seeing Roberto out on the property connecting with our maintenance team, leadership team, and members while learning the golf course and evaluating opportunities to strengthen SunBird for years to come. Please don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and welcome him to the SunBird community.
What stood out to the Board and leadership team throughout the hiring process was Roberto’s passion for golf, commitment to team development, and practical experience improving golf courses—not just maintaining them.
The Board, Roberto, and Club leadership are aligned on the same priorities:
• Improve playing conditions
• Elevate the member experience
• Protect the long-term health of SunBird soils and turfgrass
A special thank you to our maintenance team for their outstanding work during this transition. Their commitment and pride in SunBird have kept us moving forward, and we’re grateful for all they do.
REMINDER: PRACTICE TEE
