The
club operates a dress code that is common with most traditional Private
Members' golf clubs. That is, smart casual in the clubhouse and on
the golf course, jacket and tie for formal occasions.
The main items that are not allowed are training shoes and
collarless t-shirts. Hats and outdoor jackets are not allowed in
the lounge
or the dining room. Gentlemen must wear ankle socks when wearing
shorts. Mock-turtle neck shirts are allowed.
The
dress code in full:
