Tee shirts are not allowed.  Shorts for both men and women should be approximately “Bermuda length”, which is not greater that four inches above the knee.

Anyone who is inappropriately dressed will not be permitted to use any of the golf facilities, including the putting green and practice area.

All footwear worn on the golf course, practice areas, and clubhouse (where allowed) MUST BE SPIKELESS OR SOFT SPIKES.  Please inform guest and allow time for any spike replacement that the bag boy or assistant must perform. Because spike less shoes may not provide good traction on some surfaces, care must be exercised on grass, wet areas, wood, tile, bridges, and other surfaces
