This Code of Conduct sets out the standards expected of everyone who uses the club to deliver:

• An enjoyable experience for all
• The smooth running of the club and course

By using the club’s facilities, all individuals agree to uphold these standards.

All members, guests, and visitors are expected to:

• Act with courtesy and respect towards others at all times
• Avoid behaviour that disrupts play or the club environment
• Follow club rules, competition conditions, and reasonable guidance from our teams, whose role it it to support the smooth running of the club.
• Support the pace of play and flow of the course
• Treat the course, clubhouse, and facilities with care

Players are expected to uphold the traditions and etiquette of the game, including:

• Being ready to play and maintaining position on the course
• Allowing faster groups to play through where appropriate
• Caring for the course (e.g. repairing pitch marks, raking bunkers)
• Ensuring safe and responsible use of buggies
• The emphasis is on continuous play, awareness of others, and respect for the course at all times.

Principle

Members and visitors are expected to dress in a way that is appropriate for golf and the clubhouse environment, reflecting the standards of a modern members’ club.

Clothing should be:

• Clean, tidy, and in good condition
• Suitable for the activity being undertaken
• Respectful of the club environment and other members

Guidance

• Recognised golf attire is appropriate on the course
• Smart casual attire is appropriate in the clubhouse
• Headwear should be worn conventionally
• Footwear should be appropriate to the setting

Rather than prescribing specific garments, the club expects members and guests to exercise good judgement and present themselves in a manner that is appropriate for a private members club.

Where there is doubt, a more formal or traditional standard should be followed.

The club reserves the right to challenge attire that is considered inappropriate.
