Enforcement/Violations:

Members entering the Club (dining area, golf shop, etc.) who are inappropriately dressed will be advised by the Hostess/Supervisor before being seated or proceeding with the sports activity. Those inappropriately dressed will not be seated or allowed to play.

If an Employee Partner notices inappropriate dress after the Member or Guest has been seated; and the violation is not repetitive or severe, the Member/Guest will be served. The Supervisor will speak to the Member (regarding the infraction) to ensure clarification of the Dress Code and to avoid a repeat incident. Additionally, written documentation will be completed by an Employee Partner and forwarded to the General Manager for review and for action as appropriate.

If the Member violates the Code a second time, the Member will receive a letter from the General Manager, citing the breech, with a reminder that the Member must comply with the dress code.

A third violation may result in loss of Club privileges. While suspended, Members must continue to pay full dues, as billed. The General Manager may call upon Members of the Board of Governors, as needed, for recommendations of disciplinary action. Club Management has the right to approve or disapprove of dress attire.
