SUPERINTENDENT PROFILE LONNIE DUNN, WILDHORSE GOLF COURSE BY TIM MCCOY Lonnie started his Turf Grass career over 25 years ago in Virginia after working in IT. He started working on Sports Fields, managing several in and around Fairfax County. He eventually moved on to Golf Course Management. After moving to California, he landed at Teal Bend Golf Course starting on the crew. He quickly moved up the ranks and became the Assistant Superintendent. While working at Teal Bend, Wildhorse Golf Course was purchased by the Kline family of Davis. During the early days of ownership, the Kline’s visited Teal Bend for mentorship, consultaLonnie Dunn tion and local knowledge. It was during one of these visits the Kline’s took a liking to Lonnie and his work ethic and attention to detail. A season or two later when Wildhorse was looking to hire, Lonnie jumped at the opportunity to become the Superintendent. Lonnie has an adult son Cameron and likes to spend time with family and travel. He also spends a great deal of time devoted to community service in the Davis area. When asked about relationship status he replies, with a grin, “I’m available”! Lonnie and the Kline Family are very excited about the future of Wildhorse. Several projects are planned with more in discussion. If you haven’t been here in a while you’re going to be very impressed with the improvements already made in Lonnie’s short tenure. Thank you, Lonnie, for hosting us and congratulations to you and the team at Wildhorse for all the hard work. The future looks very bright for Lonnie Dunn and Wildhorse Golf Course!!!
