Dress Standards

Player’s dress on the course must be smart and of an acceptable standard normally associated with the game of golf.

We also expect golfers to display courtesy, etiquette and sportsmanship at all times. This is the spirit of the game.

Peaked caps should be worn the right way round and removed whilst you are in the Club House – please.

Shirts should have a collar, polo neck or modern style mock neck, and should be tucked into the waistband.

Golf shoes must be worn, with hard or soft spikes, or a ribbed sole.

Trousers must not be tucked into socks unless covered by wet weather trousers. Denim jeans, track suits, camouflage or cargo trousers, or similar as shorts aren’t currently considered golf attire.

(Ladies should take note of their own particular byelaws regarding standards of dress, as posted in the Ladies locker room.)

Please do…

  1. Switch phones to silent mode whilst on the course and used for emergency calls only.
  2. Buggies and trolleys are not allowed on tees or greens and buggies must be driven with care at all times. Follow pathways where these are provided.
  3. Make sure each player in your group must has their own  clubs.
