Golf Dress Code

All golfers must wear proper golf attire when playing golf or using the practice facilities at both golf courses, the Par 3 course, the putting green and all practice areas. (Jeans, cutoffs, tennis shorts, gym shorts, tee-shirts (less than 1¼" collar), tank tops, halter tops and workout wear are examples of improper golfing attire.)

• Golfers are encouraged to remove their hats or caps when in the sports areas of the Club

• Hats or caps worn backward are not permitted in ANY section of the Club, including parking lots or golf courses

• Shorts must be at least 16" at the outseam and shirts should be tucked in

• Shoes are mandatory and metal spikes are not permitted

• With the exception of specialty items, most clothing that is carried in the AAC Golf Shop is considered proper golf attire.

While some special conditions apply to junior golfers under the age of 15, all golfers are expected to look neat and presentable.

The starter and professional staff will request that improper attire be replaced before play or practice. Please note that the Board of Directors may amend what is considered proper attire.
