Guest Information

Dress Code
Members, their children and guests should always dress according to the dictates of good taste and in keeping with the character of our fine Club. Whether in the Clubhouse or on the golf course, one’s attire must reflect a high degree of respect for our fellow members and our guests. Members are responsible, not only for themselves, but for the dress of their children and their guests as well.   Although our Club caters to varying degrees of formality, it is possible to dress so that no one is offended. No one is permitted access to the golf course or to our dining facilities unless in full conformance with the Dress Code. 

Our staff has been instructed to inform anyone who is improperly attired. If informed by the staff that one’s dress is improper, the staff member is not to be questioned. Denim / Jeans are permitted in certain areas of the Clubhouse and Golf Shop only. Frayed, ripped, faded, excessively loose, or soiled denim is not permitted. Men’s headwear should be removed within the confines of the Clubhouse which excludes the Golf Shop. Men’s short sleeved button down square cut bottom (cut and sown) shirts to be worn as designed which is outside of trouser or shorts and not tucked in (“Tommy Bahama” style) are permitted in the clubhouse. Shirt tails as designed must remain tucked in. Questions may be directed in writing to the House Committee. The Infractions Committee will adjudicate Dress Code disputes.
