Dress Code — What to Wear

Polo + golf pants/shorts + soft spikes. Check the website first.

Do

  • Golf shorts, trousers, or athletic pants are fine at most courses
  • Check the course website before going — some courses have stricter requirements
  • Soft spikes or spikeless athletic shoes are required
  • Hat is optional but a good practical choice outdoors

Don't

  • Don't wear jeans, tank tops, or sleeveless shirts (at most courses)
  • Don't wear metal spikes
  • Don't wear flip-flops or sandals
  • Don't wear anything with offensive graphics
