Dress Code

Members are encouraged to consider common sense and respect for tradition and modesty when making attire decisions. Fashion and acceptable dress code expectations evolve; as such management may be guided in their enforcement of the dress code by current offerings from golf specific suppliers and styles currently seen on the PGA and LPGA tours. Staff have been empowered and directed to ask any person to change into suitable attire or ask them to leave the Club premises if he or she, in the opinion of management, is not suitably attired. Members are responsible for the appropriate dress of their guests.

From time to time the Pro Shop may display and sell items which do not meet dress code. In these cases there will be a label placed under the selling price to indicate the item does not meet dress code.

Should the Club host a wedding or other themed event other forms of dress may be permitted. In the case of a Club event permitting or requiring alternative dress this information will be communicated to members in advance.

Management will have the ability to use discretion when enforcing the dress code with young children. For children 8 and under the dress code policy will not be strictly enforced, however the Board encourages members to have their children comply at all times.
