  • Clubhouse Dress Code

    • To help ensure a pleasant atmosphere and proper decorum in keeping with that of a private family country club, the Board of Directors maintains a strict dress code policy. Members should not place fellow members or staff in the uncomfortable position of having to address dress code violations including having to request that members or guests leave due to violation of the policy. The purpose of the Club's dress code is not to dictate fashion, but rather simply to establish a standard of tasteful and traditional dress that will ensure an atmosphere of dignity and respect for fellow Members. Members are responsible for informing their guests in advance of the Club's dress code.
