General Policies

General Policies:
The following dress requirements are applicable to all members, guests, children & employees. While it is unreasonable to expect that every possible type of golf shoes and clothing will be covered in the following guidelines, it is expected that members and their guests will use common sense and will ensure that their dress is clean, neat, in good repair and conforms to the conventions and traditions of a fine private club. In order to avoid potentially embarrassing situations, members are responsible for ensuring their guests’, and juniors, adhere to the dress code at all times.
