Would you join a club that did not have a dress code?

Just how far some would go to play a particular course.

Can’t really think of anything that would stop me playing any Top course

Logistics or not I don’t believe in segregating people just because someone is only a fee paying visitor doesn’t mean they should be treated differently. You may disagree, frankly I don’t care I wouldn’t pay to play somewhere like that.

Different people have different morals and beliefs, that’s just one of mine. As for who stole your shoes virtually no members still doesn’t mean “no members at all” but then it’s easy to blame outsiders

I played somewhere years ago ( I can’t remember where) that had a changing room shared by members and visitors but the lockers were outside using different doors into different rooms.
Apparently the difference was the members lockers were locked with a code and the visitors were a pound coin in then key out style.

I thought that was a bit weird and imagined the members locker room being very plush with a man serving you a nice pint while you got a massage and the visitors being frozen cold with a bloke stabbing you with a rusty trident.

The relatively few places I've been to with visitors changing rooms, the changing rooms have all been perfectly good and are places that attract a lot of visitors and a single locker room would probably get crowded.

Depends if I’m driving

Don't get me started on visitor car parks at the furthest point from the clubhouse.

Very entertaining thread. I wouldn't play there because a) you have to change b) you have to change in a different place c) you have to park in a different place d) I like to take the moral high ground e) I like to cut off my nose to spite my face f) no women allowed g) no men allowed h) I like to look like a rebel on a golf forum

This with knobs on! close thread now.

would that attitude change if they had the chance to play it for free.

Absolutely not. And I won’t go to the US while Trump is their president. So much so I have said no to a free trip to the Vegas GP.

If the course is that good I wouldn’t care less where I changed my shows or had a drink

Is it the level of Muirfield etc.

Are you aware that there are more ladies only golf clubs in the UK than male only?

Numbers please.
Do they have their own course or is it shared?
Thanks @Bagger Vance

It’s just playing golf on the course , where someone changes there shoes or sit for drinks based on what their membership wants isn’t really too much of a worry when it comes to morals

A bit annoying if you are not allowed into the clubhouse to use the toilet though. You alright with that?

According to google less than 10 male only clubs and less than 20 female only clubs still exist. Mainly in Scotland.

I have no knowledge of any golf course in Scotland that only allows women to play on it.
There may be ladies clubs but any of those that male golfers cannot join a club that plays the same course.
There are separate clubs (eg Gullane Ladies) but they are playing over the same course(s) as men.
