==========May we thank you for choosing The Oaks for your golf day.
To enable you to get the most enjoyment from your visit, please be aware of the following guidelines when you visit us.
The dress code on the course is as follows:
Only tailored shorts are allowed on the course.
Sports socks only must be worn with shorts.
All shirts must have a collar and be tucked in to shorts or trousers.
No jeans, track suits, shell suits, cargo pants or trainers must be worn on the course.
The dress code in the clubhouse is smart casual. You do not need to wear a jacket & tie, either in the bar area or in the dining room. The Elsworth Room area is a spike bar—golf shoes cannot be worn in the bar or dining area.
We do appreciate that today’s pace of life means it is totally impractical to not allow mobile telephones. We do ask that they are used discreetly—(no loud tunes or anthems!!!) - both in the clubhouse and on the course.
The Oaks are extremely proud of their USGA greens. Whilst we recommend, but do not insist on soft spikes being worn, we do insist that everyone carries and uses a pitch mark repairer—if you see a pitch mark on a green, even if it isn’t yours, please repair it. Gently lift the mark out and tap with your putter, do not twist your wrist, as this damages the roots of the grass. A range of pitch mark repairers can be purchased very reasonably in the golf shop before you go on the course.
Please remember, slow play is the bane of everyone’s life. It is important to always keep up with the game in front. Always be aware of what is happening around you, this is particularly important at peak times. Remember, if you cannot score or get into difficulty—please pick up your ball and proceed to the next tee.
