Golf Attire?

Question

Ok so i'm going golfing tomorrow with some friends, and i didn't realize till just now that it is a semi-private course.... well it says there is a dress code and idk if what i might wear will be appropriate. I was thinking jeans OR khaki capris (which i hate) and idk what to do for the shirt.. i don't have a polo but i do have a nice brown shirt with a collar ....would that be ok? or a black collared shirt that is fancier but it will get SO hot!.... I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be too thrilled if i wore a t-shirt....... it also says that i have to wear "appropriate golf shoes"....... i can wear tennis shoes right? I don't have golf shoes with the things on the bottom.... i'm just so nervous now.... i've never had to dress up this much for golfing (besides when i was in a tournament)......

Answer 1

Well...on the many courses I play and have played...a dress code can vary.  Much more strict at the private and upscale public courses.  So...call the golf course and ask the golf pro what the code is at that course.  Some courses allow jeans...many don't...almost certainty to wear a collared shirt....shorts o.k., but not!! short shorts...and the things on the bottom of golf shoes today are "soft" spikes, not the old metal spikes we use to wear and not acceptable on all most all golf courses today.  And I suppose the tennis shoes would be fine.  Relax...don't let this un-nerve you...go play, have a great time...and enjoy a fabulous game of golf with your friends.  I would call the course..tell 'em what you plan to wear and see what they say.  I'll bet you'll be fine.

Answer 2

you can where anything that doesnt have denim in it! On semi to full-out private golf courses, denim is prohibited.

Here's a list of stuff thats appropriate:

Dress slacks

Golf shorts or skirts (mid thigh or below)

Golf shirts:   Sleeveless must have a collar

                   Collarless must have sleeves

Spikes must be soft at all times (if you have golf shoes)

Answer 3

ok relax, there is nothing to worry about. For women, you should wear khaki capris or a nice skirt or pair of dress pants. A collared shirt is fine, but it has to be tucked in, definently dont wear a t shirt. And for shoes, it doesnt really matter, tennis shoes are great. Have fun :)

Answer 4

Relax, a semi-private golf course is just another golf course.  As for dress code, they probably are referring to the standard golfing dress code, which says you can ware khaki capris, dress pants, dress shorts (no jeans or anything denim).  For top, a collared shirt is fine (light color if it is sunny) but make sure you tuck it in.  Short sleeve shirt is fine too.  Just have to be collared.   If you don't have golf shoes, a CLEAN pair of tennis shoes or running shoes is ok (nobody will check). make sure you ware socks (short is fine).  Technically, you should be wearing soft spike golf shoes, but courses generally are not concerned with shoes unless you show up in high heals or metal spiked bottom shoes.

As long as you follow the basic guidelines and don't dress up like going to tailgate party, you'll be fine.  Go enjoy the game.
