Dress Code

(Board Approved June 27, 2023)

In order to maintain a pleasant atmosphere and ensure proper decorum within our community, the Board of Governors has implemented a dress code policy. It is imperative that all members adhere to this policy to avoid any uncomfortable situations or the need for staff intervention. In the event of a dress code violation, management and staff have been instructed to politely and privately inform individuals who are not in compliance. Those who are not in compliance may be asked to relocate to a Club venue where their attire is acceptable, change their attire, or leave the Club premises.

The purpose of our dress code is to establish a standard of tasteful and traditional attire, promoting an atmosphere of dignity and respect for all members. It is the responsibility of each member to inform their guests in advance about the dress code requirements. We greatly appreciate the cooperation of our members in upholding these standards, as they contribute to a welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone at our Club.
