IN THE CLUBHOUSE
Dress Code for the clubhouse applies to Members, Guests and Societies etc. but not to external events such as weddings where a private space has been booked.
Standard Dress Code:
Gillingham Golf Club is a progressive Club and respects the fact that fashions change. Consequently we have recently introduced a slightly more enlightened dress code for the bar and restaurant areas.
Unless there is a function that has been advertised as Formal or Smart Casual the following clothing is acceptable as Standard Dress:
CLEAN golf clothing, but NOT golf shoes or Golf trainers (unless in the Stud Bar)
Clean, smart jeans, but no tie-dyed or splits/ zips other than where they should be
Casual shoes and clean trainers
Deck shoes may be worn without socks
Tailored shorts may be worn
T shirts with a collar, which may be worn in or out
Shirts may be worn in or out
Not Permitted
T shirts without a collar
Combat/Cargo shorts or trousers
Hats must not be worn in the clubhouse
Anyone unacceptably dressed will be asked to change or possibly move in to the STUD BAR where the dress code is more relaxed.
The Stud Bar
Has a more relaxed dress code and golf shoes may be worn but you will have to use the changing room toilet facilities or remove your shoes to use the toilet at the top of the stairs.
THE USE OF THE STAFF TOILET FACILITIES’ AT THE BACK OF THE STUD BAR IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
