All sports have their 'uniform' and golf is no exception. At Wareham, we understand that attitudes to dress evolve and know that the major golf clothing brands and some top Pros constantly push at the boundaries of 'traditional' golf attire.

Our dress code is best described as relaxed, smart causal and perhaps best defined by what is not acceptable, whilst not being overly restrictive.

We respectively ask you respect the code and dress appropriately, both on the course and in the Clubhouse.

If you are unsure of the suitability of your attire, please check with a member of Proshop staff.

Children under the age of 12 are not governed by specific dress regulations, but are expected to be tidily dressed and responsibly supervised.

On the Course

Footwear
Appropriate golfing footwear is required for play on the course.

Clothing
Please wear recognized golfing apparel, which can be purchased from professional golf retail outlets.
- Trousers should be tailored such as suit trousers, chinos and golf trousers.
- Shirts should be tailored with a collar
- We do allow hoodies on the course as long as they are clean and tidy

If you are unsure on any items of clothing that may not be permitted please speak to a member of the Pro Shop team who will be able to guide you in the right direction.

In The Clubhouse

The dress code in the clubhouse is more relaxed compared to the course, but there are still a few guidelines to follow. Golf shoes are allowed in the spikes bar area which is the grey carpeted area however, they are not permitted in the main bar/restaurant area, though trainers and other casual footwear are permitted. In terms of clothing, jeans, cargo trousers, and similar attire are acceptable, provided you are clean and tidy. Hats and caps are not permitted inside the clubhouse. Our primary goal in the clubhouse is to maintain a friendly and comfortable environment for all members and guests, as it also serves as a social area for everyone to enjoy.


Many thanks for your cooperation.
