Dress Code and Golfing Attire:
Off the course
For the afternoon/evening the dress code is smart-casual. The clubhouse has advised that whilst SMART jeans are permitted, it may be “frowned upon” by club members. I would advise that our Friday casual attire would be more than suitable as a guideline. STRICTLY NO RIPPED JEANS, TEAM/FOOTBALL/RUGBY SHIRTS OR TRAINERS (unless carrying an injury).
