Golf Course Superintendent Testimonials
The Country Club of Fairfield
Mr. David Koziol, Golf Course Superintendent
“Having Darling Gardens maintain our clubhouse grounds has allowed us to focus on the golf course and not have a single worry about the lawns and ornamental plants around the buildings. Doug and his team have an exceptional eye for detail and go above and beyond. I would highly recommend Darling Gardens to anyone interested in turning over clubhouse grounds to an outside professional team.”

“At Brooklawn Country Club, it has been our distinct pleasure to work with Darling Gardens led by Doug Zitnay. In an industry where clientele has become more particular and demanding through the years, skilled and knowledgeable outside help has become paramount to success. Darling Gardens has not only provided assistance to our operation in key areas, but they have taken direction from our vision and delivered above and beyond on every occasion with punctuality and a high level of care and craftsmanship. We would highly recommend Darling Gardens for any assistance you may need in your operation. We consider them a valuable part of our team.”

Orange Hills Country Club
Mr. Timothy Mars, Golf Course Superintendent
I would like to take the time to thank Doug Zitnay and the crew of Darling Gardens for an excellent job done at Orange Hills Country Club. They were extremely careful on our turf, communication and execution were always in place at the highest level during our extensive tree removal project. Doug’s knowledge and attention to detail puts him well above the rest. I will definitely be using Darling Gardens in the near future for other projects around the golf course.
