Dress Code
Standard of dress and general appearance will, at all times, determine the privilege of all Members and visitors to use the facilities of the Club.
Fashions change from time to time, but the principle is that clothes must be neat, clean and commensurate with that expected of a prestigious private golf club. The General Manager maintains the flexibility to alter these rules for special occasions.
The Committee will determine what is suitable attire and Committee Members, together with the General Manager, Club Professional and designated staff, will require compliance by a Member or visitor where appropriate.
