At Wimbledon Common Golf Club we try to steer a line between having too draconian a dress policy which may alienate younger members, or having an "anything goes" policy, which could result in a very hot and smelly clubhouse on a fine summer afternoon.

Red on the Course

On the course a requirement of the Conservators is that all players must wear a plain pillar-box red outer garment and the Rangers, who patrol the common, are empowered to stop people playing if they contravene this rule. Red garments and waterproofs can be hired from the club for a fee of £3 for a polo shirt and £5 for a waterproof.

Nineteenth Hole

If you wish to have an immediate "nineteenth-hole" drink you may wear golfing attire in the "wooden-floored" area of the clubhouse, or outside on the verandah.  Otherwise dress should be smart casual in the clubhouse  - again, please, no trainers, tee shirts or tracksuits.   Jeans are acceptable, provided they're not of the scruffy variety! If you need to have your mobile with you, please set it to silent, and if you need to make a call, do so out of the building, and away from others. Otherwise you may find yourself having to make an unexpected contribution to the Captain's charity!
