I’m looking for some advice on the clothing rules for women golfers at different courses. Specifically, what should I be aware of when it comes to acceptable attire? I’ve heard that some clubs have very specific guidelines while others are a bit more relaxed.

Here are a few points I’m particularly curious about:

  • Shirts: Are there preferred types of shirts, such as collared or sleeveless?
  • Bottoms: Is it better to wear skirts or shorts? Are there any length restrictions?
  • Footwear: What kind of shoes are acceptable? Are sandals or sneakers okay?
  • Accessories: Are things like hats or visors encouraged or frowned upon?

I want to make sure I adhere to the dress code and avoid any embarrassments on the course. Also, I’ve noticed some clubs are updating their regulations, so any tips on keeping up with changes would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!

The dress code for ladies at golf courses can vary significantly. Generally, collared shirts and tailored shorts or skirts are standard. Many upscale courses require dresses in addition to that, so it’s worth checking in advance!

Great points! I’ve found that more casual courses allow leggings, while others stick strictly to shorts or skirts. It’s essential to align with the specific course’s rules!

4

It really can be confusing. Some courses even prohibit denim altogether! I recommend calling ahead to avoid any embarrassing surprises.

Totally agree! And don’t forget the shoes—many places require golf shoes, but some allow sneakers as long as they’re clean.

I’ve heard that some ladies are wearing skorts more often because they’re both stylish and practical for golf. Anyone else feel that way? What do you think?

7

Absolutely! Skorts are comfy and cute. Just remember to check if the length meets the course guidelines; some are pretty picky.

A lot of courses also have specific rules about tank tops or sleeveless shirts. Some are fine with them, while others want sleeves. It really does depend!

Exactly, Christina! It’s better to avoid anything too revealing or casual, especially in more formal settings.

How does everyone feel about the dress codes being strict? Some courses take it to an extreme, which can be frustrating. Any experiences?

I feel you on that! I once got turned away at a course for wearing a sleeveless shirt, and it was a hot day! Such a bummer!

At least golf fashion has evolved a lot! Who would have thought we’d have breathable fabrics and stylish options? It makes getting dressed for the course a little more fun!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for advice on what materials are best for ladies golf clothing. I want something that keeps me comfortable during long rounds.

14

I recommend fabrics like moisture-wicking polyester or spandex blends. They help with breathability and movement!

15

I agree! Comfort is key! I personally love using lightweight cotton during spring. It feels great and allows for easy swings.

16

That’s a great point! Also, look for cuts that offer a loose fit around the arms for better range of motion.

17

What about layering? I sometimes feel too warm in just a polo and shorts, especially if the weather changes. Any tips?

Great question! A light, breathable jacket with pockets can be great for layering without adding bulk.

I think the color should also be considered. Bright colors can increase your confidence on the green! Maybe a fun pattern?

Totally agree! But remember to check your club’s dress code as they might have restrictions on colors.
