General

This policy sets out the Club's dress standards in accordance with Bye-law 4. It applies to all members, their guests and visitors. It does not apply to private functions.

The overriding principle is that members ensure they, their guests, and visitors respect what is acceptable to the Club and maintain a satisfactory standard of dress, both in the clubhouse and on the course. 

The Club fully embraces all aspects of equality, and any differences below reflect accepted norms of differences in attire, whilst seeking to ensure that acceptable standards are maintained.

On the Course

All golfers are required to wear smart recognised golf clothing and proper golf shoes.

The following provisos apply:

• Shorts must be tailored and worn with white socks.

In the Clubhouse

The accepted standard throughout the Clubhouse is smart casual wear or clean dry golf wear. Clean dry golf shoes may be worn only in the Spike Bar. For certain functions or events where the dress code differs, this will be clearly indicated in advance of the occasion.

On the evening of a function where the dress code is more formal, smart casual wear is restricted to the Spike Bar after 7.00pm.

The Club regards certain items of clothing as unacceptable; these include:

• Sportswear, other than for golf, eg rugby or football shirts, tracksuits;
• In the Clubhouse, outdoor clothing, such as waterproofs, anoraks, caps;
• Any form of ripped, frayed or "distressed" clothing;
• Collarless tee shirts, beachwear or flip flops
• Cargo shorts and trousers.

If any person feels that they need to approach another person about a possible breach of the above standards, this should be done in a diplomatic, friendly non-confrontational manner.
