DRESS CODE AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS

At Theydon Bois Golf Club, we aim to be a progressive and forward-thinking club while maintaining the traditions and standards that make golf enjoyable for everyone.

Our Dress Code is designed to ensure that members and guests are appropriately and smartly dressed, helping to create a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all.

• If any of your golfing, in particular trousers, gets dirty while you are on the course, please change into something clean.
