Dress Code & Etiquette

Caldy is proud of its history and standing as a members’ Club. We request that all members and visitors adhere to the appropriate etiquette and dress code.

General Playing Rules and Etiquette

Play must not start on the 12th tee if a match is VISIBLE on the 11th hole.
No visitors or member’s guests are allowed on a Wednesday competition day in the summer, even after the competition finishes.
The board outside the Pro Shop will give information on tee of the day, flag positions and local rules.
Please read the Health & Safety Notes and Local Rules on your scorecard.
All golfers are responsible for repairing their own pitch marks correctly. (See notice board outside Pro Shop).
Golfers should not strike missed putts off the green which can cause damage to the putting surface.
Smashing clubs into a tee surface after a poorly played stroke is deemed not to be good golf etiquette.
Golfers are responsible for raking bunkers and replacing the rake in line with Green Committee guidelines. (See notice board outside the Professional Shop).
Golfers must replace their divots and use divot mix where provided on the teeing areas.
Golfers should remove broken tee pegs from the teeing area.
Trolley etiquette – please keep off teeing areas and the areas between greens and greenside bunkers.
Golfers are asked to maintain a good pace of play and as a guide fourball groups should endeavour to complete their rounds within 4 hours.
Marker posts – you cannot remove the white out of bounds marker posts at any time (as per the rules of golf). However, distance, red or yellow markers may be removed in order to play a shot but must be replaced immediately in the hole provided. This also applies to the traffic management roping on the course.

Dress Code in the Clubhouse and on the Course

Members, guests and visitors are required to maintain a satisfactory standard of dress at all times both in the Clubhouse and on the Golf Course. The Club Secretary, Catering Manager, Golf Co-ordinator and Club Professional are instructed not to admit or serve any persons who in their opinion are not dressed to the required standard.
Smart casual dress and recognised golf wear is acceptable in areas of the Clubhouse at all times other than on formal occasions. The dress code when eating in the Dining Room after 7.00pm is smart casual. Jacket and tie are optional for men, however golf clothing is not acceptable. The wearing of denim jeans, collarless shirts or tee shirts is not permitted at any time.
Golf Clothing/Footwear – Golf waterproofs, caps and shoes worn for Golf must not be worn in the Clubhouse other than in the Gents’ and Ladies’ locker rooms. Changing of shoes should be carried out in the respective locker rooms and not in the Club carpark. Clean, soft spiked, golf shoes are only allowed in the Clubhouse when ordering a drink from the bar and taking it out onto the terrace. Training shoes are not permitted at any time.
Gents – If shorts are worn they must be of tailored golf type and must be worn with appropriate socks. Trousers must not be worn tucked into socks unless worn as Plus Twos or Plus Fours. Shirts must be tucked in and not worn outside trousers or shorts, be it on the course or in the Clubhouse.
Ladies – Normal golf attire should be worn on the golf course. Collarless shirts/tee shirts are not permitted and golf shorts should be worn with short socks.
The above rules may only be relaxed at the Captain’s/Lady Captain’s discretion, or in the absence of the Captains, the Senior Past Captain present.

Smoking Policy

Smoking is not permitted in the Clubhouse. A smoking area has been allocated to the left side of the terraced area.

Mobile Phones

The use of a mobile phone (except for an emergency and when being used as a GPS device) is prohibited on the course, in the Clubhouse and on the patio areas. Dispensation will be given to Ladies for reasons of personal security on the golf course. When a phone is used as a GPS device, any form of alert, ring tone or vibration must be disengaged so as not to distract your playing partners.
Mobile phone data functions may be used in the Clubhouse but not in the Dining room. The use of mobile phones when making calls is only permitted in the foyer, locker rooms or carpark.
