Members and Visitors are expected to be smartly and tidily dressed both on the Courses and in the Clubhouses.
Everyone is asked to respect these standards and no-one should be offended if they are asked to leave the Clubhouses or the Courses in the event they are unable to comply.
Broadly speaking there is a single standard for all parts of the Clubhouses and what is suitable for the Courses is suitable for the Clubhouses.
On the Courses and in the Clubhouses:
· For Gentlemen, shirts should have sleeves and collars, though round necked shirts designed specifically for golf are acceptable Shirts should be tucked in.
· Trousers should be tailored (with a fly, side pockets and a waistband). Blue denim jeans are not acceptable.
· Shorts should be similarly tailored and the length should be to or just above the knee (but not below).
· Socks with shorts can be long (to the knee) or short. Short socks should be golf, sports or trainer socks.
· Shoes should be designed specifically for golf.
· For Ladies, shirts are acceptable without sleeves if they have collars and without a collar if they have sleeves. Other shirts designed specifically for golf are acceptable. Trousers, skirts and shorts should be tailored. Blue denim jeans are not acceptable.
In the Clubhouses:
· In the Members’ Clubhouse soft spiked golf shoes may be worn in the Hall Bar, the Back Bar and the Mixed Lounge. Metal spiked shoes can be worn only in the Back Bar.
· In the Visitors’ Clubhouse soft spiked golf shoes may be worn throughout but metal spikes are not permitted in the Bar.
· In both Clubhouses, except as above, smart or smart/casual outdoor shoes must be worn in the bars, lounges and dining areas and should be clean and appropriate. Trainers (other than for Juniors) and sandals (other than for Ladies) are not acceptable.
· Players whose clothes are showing the rigours of the course are expected to change or tidy up, and to remove waterproofs, before using bar, lounge and dining areas other than in the Back Bar of the Members’ Clubhouse and the bar of the Visitors’ Clubhouse.
· Hats should not be worn in the Clubhouses.
