Alastair Forsyth, PGA European Tour Winner and Pollok’s Course Record Holder. May 2017. “Thanks for having us for the Emirates Pollok Pro-Am, the company was good and the course was superb” Richard Devenish, New Pollok Member. June 2017. “I recently moved to Glasgow and sampled various Southside clubs, quickly settling on Pollok. I found the members warm & welcoming and the course is second to none in the area, with an impressive clubhouse. The 2 things I love most are; i) the tee is normally free and the longest I’ve waited is 20 minutes and ii) the junior section - which engages with kids, offering tuition and all round encouragement” Janis Brown, Visitor. August 2017. I played in 2 Ladies’ competitions and ok, the weather was good, but I loved the challenging course and the lunches were fabulous. The staff and members were more than welcoming and I look forward to playing again”. Alison Robertson, Member’s Guest. December 2017. “There aren’t many places offering great food, great value and great service but Pollok Golf Club is one of them. We were celebrating a family birthday and ages ranged from 10 – 85.
