Hartley Wintney is a modern golf club which respects tradition and considers both appropriate behaviour and attire to be important. All members, visitors and guests are asked to maintain a smart and presentable standard of dress at all times, both on the course and in the clubhouse.

Course Etiquette

Players are asked to respect and abide by the following:

• Replace divots, whether on the fairway or in the rough.
• Repair pitch marks on the greens, even if not made by yourself.
• Rake bunkers carefully and correctly, to push sand back towards the middle of the bunker, and leave the rake in the bottom.
• Keep trolleys away from the greens and never take them between the green side bunkers and the greens.
• Maintain a good pace of play at all times. If there is a faster group behind you, let them play through at an appropriate time.
• Members playing in Club competitions have priority.
• Please keep the course tidy and use the bins provided.
• All mobile phones are to be silent and calls only taken in an emergency.

Course and Practice Areas

We accept that golf fashions can change, so any recognised golfing apparel purchased from a professional golf outlet, with appropriate socks and golf shoes, is acceptable. We also ask that shorts are tailored and, as they are not yet deemed golfing apparel, Cargo shorts are not permitted.

Clubhouse

Golf shoes, of any type, are not permitted in the Lounge. Golf shoes, except those with metal spikes, are allowed in the Spike Bar, but we do ask golfers to change out of their golf shoes in particularly wet or muddy conditions. Smart and presentable attire is the expected dress code within the clubhouse, although for some functions and events more formal attire may be required. The wearing of hats, caps, tracksuits, rugby & football shirts or beachwear is not considered smart attire and therefore not permitted within the
clubhouse.

Mobile Phones

Calls may be made or taken, in a manner which minimises disturbance to others, in the changing rooms, foyer areas, on the patio and in the car park, but not in the bars or dining room. Silent use of mobile phones for browsing and reading texts or e-mails is permitted within all areas of the clubhouse Calls may be made on the course only in emergency situations or for contacting the Halfway Hut. We thank you for respecting this dress code and helping maintain our reputation as a warm and welcoming golf club.
