...golf architect or golf course architect? What did they call themselves prior to that?

Wasn't it CB MacDonald when he built NGLA?

Also, didn't most of the early architects just come out of being considered a professional or keeper of the green?

Tom,

I get a kick out of Bernard Darwin's term, Golfing Architect.

There's a section on my web site titled, Golf Architecture. I actually considered labelling it, Golfing Architecture, as a subtle tribute to Darwin.
