Members

Yarra Yarra’s dress requirements have been designed to reflect the standard of the Club, yet be practical for all Club members and visitors.

Visitors are required to comply with the Club’s dress standards. Members inviting guests to the Club are responsible for ensuring their guests are properly informed of and comply with the Club’s dress standards.

Golfing attire both on the course and in the Clubhouse is to be clean, tidy and appropriate to the game of golf. In order to assist members and visitors to interpret this expectation, the following standards will be applied when considering the suitability of dress. Unless otherwise stated these guidelines apply to both men and women.

  • On the Course and Practice Facilities

    • Tailored trousers, shorts or skirts must be worn.
    • Trousers, shorts or skirts designed to be supported by a belt must be worn with a belt.
    • Men’s shirts must have a collar and be tucked in to trousers/shorts.
    • Socks of any length may be worn with shorts.
    • Men’s short socks must be predominantly white in colour and may feature a small logo.
    • Socks must be worn with footwear.
    • Only golf shoes (soft spike or spikeless) are permitted.

    Unacceptable items of dress
