Interesting Facts Originally a 9 hole golf course named "Springs Mines and West Springs Golf Club" the course was extended into 18 holes and renamed "Pollak Park Golf Course" in the honour of late Major Pollak, funder of Anglo American Corporation. Ownership of the club was handed over to the members by Anglo American in 1975. The first captain of PPGC was Mr George Moll, whose name is perpetuated by the larger than normal Bluegum tree planted by him approximately 50m ahead of the 18th tee box. The course underwent an extensive conditioning programme in 2005 and now boasts one of the premium tracks on the East Rand. Predominantly lined with Bluegum trees, the course layout offers golfers a classic parkland challenge. Renouwed for its excellent putting surfaces, warm hospitality and efficient service, Pollak Park is a great golfing destination and a must play.
