greenkeeper

Maintains golf turf

A greenkeeper is the person responsible for maintaining the turf and grounds of a golf course—mowing fairways, caring for greens, managing irrigation, and keeping bunkers in shape.

The term is more common in British English; Americans often say groundskeeper or superintendent.

The greenkeeper arrived before dawn to prepare the course.
