Pollok - Glasgow - Scotland

I feel it is time for an updated review of this fabulous course. I have played all the comparable courses in the area and this is the best condition and nicest layout of them all. There are no better greens or fairways in the Greater Glasgow area.

The course is quite flat which for some people is a bad thing. I actually don’t mind it at all as the layout provides a variety of different challenges for the holes. The course flows well and each hole feels secluded from the others.

Finally and importantly. This is now a modern, forward thinking golf club. Embracing junior and ladies golf. Family golf options. A recent professional event resulted in high praise from the players.

If you want to play on the very best quality greens and course condition, go to Pollok.

i arrived on the 29th May for the annual pro-am to the view of a lush green parkland course in the middle of Glasgow.

the condition of the course was exceptional. the design of the course gives you all degrees of golf ability ,greens rolling well and good reads, it is the best parkland course i have played and would highly recommend it to any visitors .

This is where I learnt to play golf (if one ever learns) I have not played ti now for many years but from what I read not much has changed. Polllok is normally in really good condition, not too busy, not too long, not too exacting and with a comfortable clubhouse. You can enjoy your golf here but it may not be memorable although I can remember enjoying many rounds here.

I returned to Pollok yesterday, just over ten years after first playing here, and I’m afraid my opinion of the course hasn’t really changed much. Apart from the opening and closing couple of holes, the property is really rather flat and slightly tedious, with only a few subtle changes in elevation to speak of. In fairness, it’s hard to make any course appear interesting when the acreage it sits on is so uninspiring.

Indeed, if it wasn’t for the flash-faced Mackenzie-style bunkers that prevail on almost every hole, there wouldn’t be much of merit to write about, as even the course routing is pretty pedestrian. At least the club is now entering the 21st century by offering a limited number of discounted green fees via a third party website (hence the impetus for my visit) so fair play to Pollok for that.

I just can’t see many repeat rounds being booked.

Played the course in October 2003. What a welcome we got at the front door by the caddiemaster and the locker rooms are nothing short of sensational after a recent refurbishment. Yes, the clubhouse experience was very good but I'm afraid I found the course as dull as dishwater.Largely flat (apart from the hill up to the 18th which must get the old boys puffing a bit) and bland throughout, my partner and I agreed that other courses in the very near vicinity were better places to play - sorry, Pollok, though the terrain must suit the members that we saw out that day, many of them wearing plus fours. Is this some sort of unofficial regalia at the club?
