Dress at Brae Burn should always be appropriate for the occasion or activity.  The Board of Directors has established guidelines for what is proper attire.  Members, their children, and their guests should respect these reasonable guides.

After 6pm a jacket is requested, but not required, for gentlemen.  Ties are not required.  Smart casual wear is appropriate for ladies.  Tennis attire, jeans, and sneakers are not allowed at any time.  The informal sports attire, excluding jeans, is acceptable at all times.  NO hats are to be worn in the Grille Room at any time (exceptions are made only for medical or religious reasons).   Of course, jackets are always encouraged for weekend dining.

“Smart casual dress”, unless otherwise indicated, means “Casually Smart”.  Jeans are not allowed at any time in the clubhouse or on the golf courses.  Sports caps and visors should be removed in any clubhouse area.  This applies to members, their children, and their guests.  Exceptions are made only for medical or religious reasons.  If your guest arrives in jeans, they will be asked to change their attire or leave the property.

1.  Main Dining Room and Cocktail Lounge - An atmosphere conducive to business and personal pleasure is intended to prevail on the main floor.

2.  Appropriate dress for guests is the responsibility of the host member.  If in doubt, please remind guests prior to their arrival at the Club to avoid any embarrassment either for them or their host member.

Cell Phone (Electronic Communications) Policy (click here to download)

Electronic communications devices may not be used on the golf course. In an effort to accommodate those who need to have some contact with family or business during a round, texting and emailing only (by Blackberry or phone) will be permitted in the vicinity of the snack house that follows the 11^th hole.  The use of electronic devices for these limited purposes shall not interfere with the pace of play and should be done in as discreet a manner as possible. 

The pool policy is as follows:  Electronic communications devices may not be used in the pool area but may be used in the locker rooms, parking lot and the posted “emergency communications” area.  The “emergency communications” area may be used for email/texting communication only; telephone conversations are not permitted.

Otherwise, the use of electronic communications devices on the grounds and in the clubhouse is strictly prohibited.  There are phone booths in the clubhouse provided for the use of electronic communications devices and they are also permitted in the locker rooms and two main parking lots.  Such devices may not be used elsewhere (including the driving range and practice areas, pro shop parking spaces, the area behind the first tee, the tennis courts and the public spaces in and around the clubhouse).

The Board has set the following schedule of penalties, which are assessed against a member for his or her own violations as well as any violation by a family member or guest:

1.                 1^st violation - $25 fine (which shall be contributed to the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund);
2.                 2^nd violation – loss of applicable club privileges (golf, pool, tennis, clubhouse) for the 
                following  weekend; and
3.                 3^rd violation – loss of applicable club privileges (golf, pool, tennis, clubhouse) for one month.
4.                 Violations beyond the third will be referred to the Board for determination of an appropriate
                sanction.

Smoking Policy

Smoking is not allowed anywhere in the clubhouse with the exception of a defined area of the West Deck.  The smoking prohibition includes the East Deck, the locker rooms, the Pro Shop, the front entrance canopy, exterior access stairs to the upper levels, and the patio area between the Grille Room and 1st tee.
