Not to mention that there are a lot of water, ice and grass types around, with a build like this, I'm afraid Golurk just simply won't be useful at all. It's pretty much as others have pointed out already: all that Golurk can do is already known, it's not like Golurk can really pull new sets out of nowhere with it's typing and stats.
Whilst I wish you luck with testing, my theorymonning side tells me this just won't work: Resttalk is unreliable, without proper investment it's attacks just won't do, the normal types will enjoy beating on it after you rested. Even alomomola can deal 'decent' damage with waterfall.
Resttalk just won't do in comparison to things like Alomomola, Vileplume, Lileep, Leafeon and Lickilicky. All of them have far better recovery options, including wish and recover. Better support options in the form of status, and can do fairly well with only one attack. Golurk simply can't compete with any defensive set against these behemoths.

I'm not going to say it is incredible, but the reason I wanted adamant nature in the first place was to get the attack higher. It is physically defensive, and as such is meant to switch into the physical attackers and hit them back with and earthquake or ice punch. Because of this, another idea I had was him holding the rocky helmet.
Well have team mates that counter the aforementioned types, such as a mantine that can switch in on the attacks that threaten golurk.
I don't like theorymon, besides blatantly obvious things, like smog is no good, it always seems to get things wrong since in all theorymon the player has to play like a noob and not predict switches at all.
Also you said lileep instead of cradily... just no. It has to be said though, 3 of the pokemon listed are grass type, so if you need a better mix of types on your team then you may use the golurk instead.
