Apprenticeship Level 2 Golf Green Keeping Operative

A Golf Greenkeeper is responsible for the maintenance , care and overall appearance of a golf course in line with employer’s requirements. It is their job to maintain a good quality playing surface and ensure the course offers a consistent challenge and an enjoyable experience for golfers. There are four key turfgrass areas on a golf course – greens, tees, fairways and areas of rough, each of which requires a different type of maintenance and environmental care. Using a range of equipment and machinery safely and competently will play a major part within an apprentice’s training programme.

Assessment of the apprentice will be the joint responsibility of the employer and the training provider.

An apprentice commencing on a golf course would typically take 24 months to complete their education and training.
