We go to Scotland every year and always play Blairgowrie on the way back. As it is an 8 hr drive or so from there, we like to get showered after our round, get changed and have a quick drink and bite to eat in the bar/club house before getting on our way. This year myself and 2 mates made the mistake of changing into jeans. They were relatively smart jeans, i.e. not ripped or faded etc. In fact from a distance, my friends jeans looked more like normal trousers. Anyway, he went to the bar, ordered us our drinks etc and came back. Having sat at a table minding our own business and a few minutes before getting up to leave the glass collector / bar person comes over to our table to pick our glasses up and says, "you're not allowed jeans in the club house you have to leave". We were on our way anyway, but it felt so petty and really annoyed me. I really don't get it... the same way I don't get it that sometimes trainers aren't allowed in bars (not just golf club bars) it's a very outdated attitude.

But it's the choice of the club you are in
No trainers and jeans etc in some clubs may feel outdated etc but that club have made their own choice on their dress code
The dress codes are always published somewhere for people to read so I can't ever see a problem having to follow those rules they have set out
I will always check what the dress code is on and off the course to ensure I have the correct attire - feel it's right to respect their rules and code

It does appear to illustrate the fact that the dress code isn't the problem, it's the over-zealous nature of those who decide to enforce it..
At an old club of mine I was reprimanded by an ex-lady Captain because I had the sheer brazen cheek to hang my jacket on the back of my chair.. Not the done thing she explained as loudly as she possibly could in a room full of sycophants.. Laughing loudly at her was Social Suicide apparently..

With you on that. I will go to a clubs website and check the dress code before visiting, not that I would ever wear anything but correct golf attire to play anyway.
If you don't like a clubs dress code then play elsewhere is my attitude. But regarding long socks with shorts, always has been and always will be a joke of a rule. You wear shorts because it's a hot day, but then you are expected to wear long socks which sort of makes the initial idea of wearing shorts a joke. Not only that, but you look a right tit and even more so when paired with some brown Jesus creepers......

Nothing looks worse than some bloke dressed in Khaki "it ain't half hot mum" shorts matched with a pair of grey ankle socks and black golf shoes.
Kick 'em off the course.

Although I don't see what the big deal about denim in the clubhouse is, if that's the rule of the club abide by it or go elsewhere. Personally I'd allow jeans in spike bar, driving range and practice area. Main bar, dining room etc could remain jacket areas.
As others have said long socks with shorts is a rule I don't like. When visiting a course I always check in/pay at pro shop in what I am playing in. If whoever takes my money doesn't pull me up on dress code, there is no way a member is telling me during my round.

Surely they shouldn't have got onto the course in the first place dressed like that.

It was called uniform in Cyprus
Hated having the socks up the knees
The gay little suede ankle boots did not look too good either. I never had a posting there, so I only ever wore desserts when on detachment or travelling through Akrotiri.

We were up the hill at the golf balls in Epi so behind the secure compound - it was socks rolled down - desert t shirt :thup:
The socks were rolled up when the copper let us know someone was coming up the hill

Fully accept clubs make there rules and either abide or go somewhere else,
On a commissioning course in to the Officer Ranks in the Army from the soldier ranks, one senior officer informed the course as we were now officers we should no longer wear "The Devils Cloth" (Denim).
Apparently it goes back to the days when Denim was considered work clothing!

I always check the website of any course where I haven't played before for their dress code. The only place I've been caught out at is Burnham & Berrow where I had to buy a pair of knee length white socks from the pro shop, they weren't cheap either.
Any club like the one in the OP that had police to keep cyclists at bay on the private road to the houses on the estate (heaven forbid they might residents out for a bike ride) deserves any negative publicity it gets.
