Northumberland Golf Club, whilst wishing to ensure that all members, visitors and guests dress appropriately, does not wish to be over-proscriptive; the Committee would rather leave it to the good sense of those concerned.

 

Formal style dress is required at all times in the Dining Room. This does, however, allow full freedom of movement to all golfers, visitors and guests around the remainder of the clubhouse.

 

There may also be occasions when the clubhouse is being used for an event which the Committee have decided will be a formal event but on those occasions, advance notice will be given on the notice boards in the clubhouse and on the website.

 

 

This is defined as either:

Stylish and smart casual clothes will be welcomed and acceptable in all areas of the clubhouse other than the areas outlined above.

 

However, there are some types of clothing that most would find unacceptable and the Committee considers that the following guidance is appropriate to maintain the Club’s historical high standards. 

Tracksuit tops or bottoms, jeans and other denim clothing, t-shirts, training shoes; cargo shorts/trousers with large exterior pockets should not be worn.

 

Gentlemen should always wear socks and shoes.

 

Shorts should be tailored and around knee length. When wearing shorts, gentlemen should wear knee length socks or white sports socks.

 

Shirts should be tucked into trousers and shorts.

On hot or wet days, golfers should change into fresh clothing before entering the lounges. Showers and towels are provided to facilitate this.

 

Outer wear such as golf shoes, waterproof golf clothing, top coats, anoraks, windproof clothing and caps may not be worn in the lounges.

Players should change golf shoes and clothing in the locker room and not in the car park.

 

Members are asked to make their guests aware of our dress rules to prevent any embarrassment.
