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 intimate dinners. Members and guests must dress appropriately for the areas of the club they plan to visit. When in doubt, err on the side of conservative dress. The dress code applies to children as well as adults.  Clothing and footwear must be clean and in good repair.

A detailed dress code brochure is available at all entrances, the Concierge Desk, or by clicking here: Dress Code Brochure
