Dress Code
West Byfleet is a modern golf club with over 100 years of tradition and is embedded in its community. We consider that appropriate behaviour and consideration of members, guests and staff, in the clubhouse, practice areas and on the golf course, are as important as giving guidance on dress code.
On the golf course the Captain’s Committee accept that fashion changes very quickly and our current guideline is simply that any recognised golfing apparel, worn as designed, that can be purchased from a professional golf or other retail outlet is acceptable. This guidance applies equally to members, their guests and any other visitors.
At all times on the Course and on ALL Practice Areas, we ask that:
- Clean smart, recognised golfing apparel and footwear is worn at all times.
- Golf shirts should be tucked into waistbands at all times, unless specifically designed otherwise.
- Socks of any colour or any length are acceptable.
Cargo shorts, Beach shorts, sports shorts, tracksuits and denim jeans and shorts are,not deemed to be recognised golfing attir
*NB: Our team of professionals regularly give lessons and taster sessions on the practice areas to non-members and Juniors, who are often new to golf. The Captain’s Committee have agreed a more relaxed dress code for these lessons.
Dress code in the Clubhouse and on the Patio
Recognised golfing apparel and smart casual wear is acceptable, in addition smart denim jeans of any colour, but not torn or worn below the hip.
No hats or caps to be worn in the clubhouse.
Smart casual dress is the norm. Jackets and ties (or equivalent for Ladies) are always welcome but not required unless requested by the event organiser.
Footwear
Changing shoes in the car park is not permitted.
Golfers are asked to change from their golf shoes (which are allowed in the spike bar) to prevent grass and debris being brought into the main bar and sun lounge.
Clean sports shoes and trainers are permitted in the clubhouse.
Compliance
Anyone concerned about the dress code of others should neither confront nor criticise them. Any concerns should be raised with the General Manager or one of their staff or the Pro Shop team.
