On the Course

At Gathurst we endeavour to be a progressive and forward-looking golf club and as such, we have reviewed modern dress codes policies to bring us in line with acceptable practices in the 21st century.

We can observe a worldwide trend to a more relaxed policy and as such, we have considered approaches adopted by some of the prestigious clubs in the area.

Both on the European and the PGA tour we see a more flexible approach and with these in mind we have re-set our policy to provide guidelines that are modern and provide a level of common sense.

Members, guests and visitors…. On the Course

• Must be smartly dressed.
• Wear recognised golf clothing which can be purchased in Golf Professional shops, or from a golf outlet.
• Golf attire as worn by Professional golfers is acceptable.
• Golf shorts are acceptable
• Shirts preferably be worn in the tucked-in position.
• Track suits, denim, casual T-shirts, football, rugby or similar shirts are not permitted.

The Professional shop has been instructed to enforce these requirements. Additionally, the Golf Staff, Board of Directors and committee will endeavour to enforce these requirements and control visitors within these guidelines.

Members should behave in a responsible manner, they should provide help and guidance in this respect, however should not create situations that may become confrontational to our members, guests and visitors.

As members we can all play our part by showing consideration, set an example by adhering to these guidelines so we can all enjoy our golf and social activities together.
