USO Denver & GolfTEC Camo at the Course Golf Workshop

Golf Attire

We are looking forward to meeting you! Please note, all participants must adhere to the following dress code requirements while at the course. Why do golf courses and country clubs have dress codes? Tradition. Like any sport, the uniform of the player speaks to that sport’s evolution and history, and so although golf dress is modernizing and in constant flux, it is still important to recognize and respect golf dress code when you’re on the course.

Headwear: Going sans cap is always acceptable at a golf course, though some headwear is popular on the course. The weather often dictates this decision, since wind, glare, and temperature are major determining factors on whether you need that hat or not. A baseball cap, worn with the bill facing forward, is recommended out in the Colorado sunshine! .

The Tops: The most commonly worn shirts out on the golf course are collared shirts made of cotton or breathable micro-fiber. Choose a comfortable collared shirt, in good condition, that is free of any offensive logos. Shirts should be tucked into your pants, especially for men. T-shirts are generally frowned upon at the golf course. For men, mock turtlenecks and appropriate active wear are allowable, and for women, the same goes – collared shirts, active wear, and nice sweaters or windbreakers. Women should be aware that tank tops and sleeveless shirts are considered inappropriate.

The Bottoms: Denim is a no go at the golf course, as are cut-off shorts and basketball or workout shorts. Most golfers choose to either wear long khakis or dressier shorts. The safe bet is to wear pants of a cotton or blended fabric material with a nice belt, and for women skirts in such material are also accepted. For shorts, the preferred length for men is at the kneecap; mid-thigh for women. Pants should stop at mid-ankle or rest atop the shoe.

For Your Feet: Golf shoes, while not required for this workshop, are an important part of what you wear the golf course. All golf shoes come with either soft spikes or rubber studs, which help you grip the ground while doing little to no damage to the course. Style ranges widely, with some shoes looking like tennis shoes, and others keeping to the more traditional two-tone color pattern. Whichever you choose, your shoes should have some sort of non-slippage on the tread to account for whatever grass you encounter on the course. Bonus tip: Never wear metal spikes or flip flops to a golf course, and don’t change your shoes in the parking lot – this is frowned upon at most golf courses.

If you have any concerns or questions about what is acceptable to wear, please feel free to ask.
