A practice green is part of the course complex. Same rule applies on the driving ranges which are also practice facilities. Imagine the problems the courses would have if they didn't apply the rules everywhere on the grounds. People would see all manner of dress on the practice areas and take it to the course.

I would hope your son was not so traumatized by being told he needed a collared shirt that he gives up the game.
