Dress Code
We acknowledge that fashions evolve, however the objective remains unchanged, that the standard of dress on the Course and in the Clubhouse reflects the private golf club status and traditions of The Gosnells Golf Club.
The club will ensure a strict adherence to the dress code for all areas including on the course, practice facilities, and in and around the clubhouse.
There are two distinct dress codes for two defined areas
- Playing on the course, and on the putting green and practice facilities at all times.
- Clubhouse, alfresco and dining areas (this includes caddies, and non playing visitors and spectators on course).
General Rule – All Areas
Strictly no singlets, tracksuit pants, thongs or flip flops. Clothing that is excessively baggy, faded, worn out, dilapidated clothing is not acceptable.
Unless otherwise specified, mens golf shirts must be tucked in at ALL times.
All Members and Visitors, and Social Golf Groups
A neat and tidy standard of dress is required on the course at all times. Members or Visitors not complying with the dress code may be asked to change, so to avoid embarrassment for you and your guests, please distribute this information (PDF) on the dress code to all playing members of the group. Access to the golf course and practice facilities will be strictly refused with no exceptions.
Clothing is available to purchase in the pro shop when required.
Members in the same playing group are equally responsible to ensure that everyone in the group complies with the Dress Code, in addition to course care, pace of play and the rules of golf.
Members not complying with the Dress Code will be addressed by staff and may be escalated to the Club Captain and the Disciplinary Committee for recurring offences.
