The purpose of the dress code is to ensure that reasonable and appropriate standards are maintained at all times while on Club premises, in keeping with the expectations of membership at a private club. It is the responsibility of every member to ensure that their family members and guests comply with the dress code at all times. The Club’s Staff is authorized to enforce the dress code and is supported by the Board of Directors in doing so. The Club reserves the right to request that a member or guest not properly attired move to another area of the Clubhouse, change clothing, or leave the premises. It is unfair to the Directors or the Club’s Staff to be forced to deal with infractions even though they are authorized to do so. Please avoid embarrassing situations. The Pro Shop is well stocked with suitable clothing and any inadvertent errors may be quickly and easily corrected. Members should be aware that the Pro Shop may also inventory certain lifestyle clothing pieces that may not be suitable in certain areas of the Club.
