According to the media (so it must be true!) lockdown and working from home etc has made us all more informal in our day-to-day clothing. Unfortunately this relaxed trend seems to have extended to the golf course too!
Whilst Bracken Ghyll prides itself on our ‘relaxed formality’ we do have a dress code for both on the course and in the clubhouse which is readily available in the handbook and on the club website and is re-produced below.
This is a gentle reminder to all members – young and old, new and long-standing – to please abide by this dress code and remember that you’re also responsible for the dress code of your guests.
