Cole Marshall was born and raised in Yellowknife, NT. After some serious concussions ended his baseball aspirations, his Mom decided it was best to enrol him in a golf camp as she had recently taken up the game. He didn't take to the game originally but wasn't long until he fell in love with it and his parents needed to pry him off the course at night.

He attended Lethbridge College where he completed his professional golf management program. He successfully gained membership to the Canadian PGA in 2010. He worked as an assistant professional at the Yellowknife Golf Club from 2010- 2019 before taking the reigns as Head Professional/ General Manager for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. He took over as Head Professional and Director of Golf here at Mountain View GC in 2022. He enters his 23rd consecutive year involved in the golf industry.

CGSA Golf Course Superintendent

Like most people who enter the turfgrass profession, it was the love for the game of golf that originally brought him to work.  He started golfing at 12 years old when he first moved to Whitehorse in 1992.  He was a junior member of MVGC starting the next year and continued to be until he started working as part of the grounds crew in 1998. Originally, he was interested in being a Golf Professional and started attending Grant MacEwan in Edmonton, Alberta enrolled in Management Studies.  He soon realized that being a playing professional was not in the cards.  Still wanting a career within the golf industry, he finished his Professional Golf Management diploma in 2001 before immediately enrolling in Turf Grass Management at Olds College the following fall.  He graduated from Olds in 2003 and took a 9 hole Superintendent position in Mayerthorpe, Alberta.  In 2005, he spent a 5 month working holiday in the UK which included 1-month stints working on the grounds at both St. Andrews and Royal Liverpool as they prepared for the Open Championship in 2006.  Derek took over as the Assistant Superintendent at Mountain View in 2006 for 3 years before finally taking over the helm of the Maintenance Department in 2009.
