Dress Code
Garforth Golf Club wishes to make everyone as welcome as possible and to encourage social use of our facilities. The Dress Code therefore aims for simplicity and consistency.
Different arrangements apply to certain occasions and members and visitors are expected to make themselves aware of the arrangements that apply and to respect them in full.
Definitions
Clubhouse: All parts of the clubhouse.
Course: The course, the practice green and paths facing the course in front of the clubhouse.
The Dress Code
Unless otherwise stated, assumes smart casual wear.
In order to respect the views of every generation, members and visitors should always ensure this means clean, tidy, made−for−purpose, (and in the clubhouse − dry) clothing.
The additional comments below, designed to clarify the above, have been kept to a minimum. The Club, in making this Code as simple and flexible as possible, will not look kindly upon attempts by Members or Visitors to ‘stretch’ the smart casual principles to any extremes and thus irritate others or undermine the Club’s reputation.
