Golf Course Dress Code

Golf course dress code

Greenock Golf Club has a relaxed dress code, but we do ask golfers to dress appropriately for the sport by wearing only recognised golfing clothing. Clothing designed to be worn for sports and pastimes other than golf, such as football, athletics and beach wear are not permitted.

Forbearance will be shown to occasional visiting parties such as cruise ship passengers who have not carried the appropriate clothing on their trip.

Shirts

Only recognised golf shirts must be worn. ‘New style’ turtle / polo neck golf shirts are acceptable and there is no requirement to have shirts tucked in on the course. Football tops, round neck tee shirts, collarless and/or sleeveless shirts or T-shirts are not considered acceptable except those semi sleeveless shirts routinely worn by ladies.

Shorts

Shorts must be tailored and no shorter than a few inches above the knee. Sports shorts and beach shorts are not permitted. Ladies may wear recognised three quarter length golfing trousers.

Track-suit bottoms or jogging bottoms are not permitted on the course or in the club house. Traditional blue denim jeans are not permitted on the course but they may be worn within the clubhouse any day after 7pm.
