dress code

The club’s dress code is established by the House Committee to make the club a comfortable place for children and families, as well as a first-class destination for business functions and fine dining.

The dress code applies to all members and guests. The intention is to create an environment of decorum required by the meetings and business conducted in many areas of the club. When in doubt, err on the side of conservative dress. The dress code applies to children as well as adults.

A detailed dress code brochure is available at all entrances, the Exercise and Conditioning Room’s Center Desk, the Concierge Desk, or by clicking here: Dress Code Brochure
