We encourage members and guests to dress in a manner that honours both our heritage and modern sensibilities. Here's your guide to dressing appropriately for every occasion:

Garden Room, Lounge and Balcony Areas - Business attire/Semi Formal or Smart Casual. Trousers, including chinos and denim that are neat, clean and in good repair (no holes, tears, fraying, severe fades). Collared shirts with long or short sleeves, without a dominant logo or overt messaging that may be considered offensive. Short-sleeved men's shirts are not permitted after 5 pm. Jacket, necktie not required. Non-athletic shoes with sneaker-like soles are allowed throughout the Clubhouse.

Club Accommodation - When entering and leaving the Club accommodation, members and guests may wear neat casual, including blue denim and sports clothing.

Club Functions - Each Club function will specify which dress code is applicable.

Private functions - Dress code is at the discretion of the host, within Club Standards. Members and guests whose dress does not meet the requirements listed above may be denied use of the clubhouse and sporting facilities. Management and staff are instructed to advise members and guests if their dress is inappropriate.
