About the course

The Golf Greenkeeper Apprenticeship trains individuals to maintain and manage the greens, fairways, and other playing areas on a golf course. The course covers the principles of turf management, soil science, and plant health, along with the practical skills needed to operate and maintain specialised equipment. Apprentices learn about irrigation systems, pest and disease control, and sustainable practices for maintaining high-quality playing surfaces. The program also includes training in customer service, as greenkeepers often interact with golfers and club members. By the end of the apprenticeship, learners will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to keep a golf course in top condition.

Career options

Full-time employment. Upon completion, you can also progress to a higher level apprenticeship or qualification.

Career progression is excellent for apprentices, and over the course of their careers, those with an Apprenticeship earn on average, £100,000 more than those without. (A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Apprenticeships and Other Vocational Qualifications, University of Sheffield, 2007)
