SETTING EASY TO GET HERE Only 10 minutes from the City Centre, 15 minutes from the West End and in the heart of the Southside, Pollok is easily reached from much of Glasgow.

EASY TO GET A GAME Thanks to our restricted membership, the 1st tee is blissfully quiet. Tee times aren’t booked in advance (outside competition), so simply arrive, sign up and enjoy your game. At weekends throughout the year & on summer evenings, members can usually tee off no more than 20-25 minutes after arriving.

EASY TO FORGET WHERE YOU ARE Set in the secluded, mature woodland of Pollok Country Park, it is a golfing haven and you would never know you were in the middle of Glasgow.

Deer roam wild, no roads are in sight and the course is only overlooked by the magnificent Pollok House.

WHAT OUR FRIENDS SAY 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. Every one of us enjoyed our meal and the staff, particularly Catriona, were terrific.”
