ATTIRE
Guests are requested to abide by the Club’s dress code. Rules apply to all Members, their families and their guests. At the request of the Board of Directors, the Managers, Professionals and staff enforce the dress code in all areas of the Clubhouse, the golf course, tennis, platform tennis, swimming pool and other areas of the Club’s property. Good judgment is always in order so that the Club can be a gracious extension of our homes at all times.
Your cooperation is both expected and appreciated.
