The General Manager and Clubhouse Staff have full authority to enforce Club dress requirements. No one shall be permitted in the Clubhouse or adjacent areas in any attire considered unsuitable by the House Committee. Examples of such inappropriate attire include: worn or tattered denim or jeans, cutoff shorts, un-tucked shirts, collarless or sleeveless shirts on men, worn or dirty clothing, as well as caps worn facing backwards. For men, the wearing of golf caps and visors of any type is considered unsuitable in the Clubhouse.
As a reminder, the jeans policy is as follows: Jeans and denim are allowed in the Clubhouse and adjacent areas, with the exception of the Grille Room after 6:00 pm on Friday and Saturday nights. Jeans may be worn in the Pub Room at any time. Jeans and denim are never considered appropriate if they are torn, tattered or excessively worn. The Board requests that jeans adhere to the dress code, i.e. “dressy casual” attire, and (for gentlemen) worn with a collared shirt. Please remember, jeans are never to be worn on the golf course.
Jeans or denim for special Club or Member hosted events shall be approved on an individual basis by the General Manager or Board of Directors.
