The LPGA has seen some controversy over the years regarding their rules surrounding women’s golf attire. Making a quick call to the clubhouse to check their rules before a first-time outing at a new club can save time and potential future embarrassment, making it well worth the time!
The problem is, there are no actual “set standards” as to what’s considered “revealing” or “inappropriate,” so what is a player expected to do when going to a new course?Įssentially, lady golfers shouldn’t worry about what they’re wearing to a Municipal golf course, should wear golf clothing to a Public club, and should err on the side of more conservative golf attire when visiting a Private Club.
Private Club’s dress codes for female golfers often include: “Shorts, Skorts, and Skirts may not be shorter than (# of Inches) above the knee for both men and women.” “Women must wear collared shirts or designer collarless golf shirts.” and “Golf dresses must be of an appropriate length.” Private Clubs (privately-owned and only members or guests of members can play) often have the most strict dress code for women golfers, but this can vary from area to area.
