I dont know how long you have been in TV, but denim has always been allowed here in TV for at least 10 years. I do not play golf where I see a dress code disappearing. Maybe at some municipal courses. I would really like to know where you got your information.

In 2009 my guest was asked to leave Glenview because he had jeans. Three years ago Bonifay asked a player to leave because he had jeans.....not information....I was there.

Yep, I know what you mean. XL doesn't always get it......

Just a thought

I am pretty sure my husband was born in a golf shirt.

Under Armor Cold Gear long sleeve under a golf shirt; works great on those cool days. They are definitely coming with me to TV.

I was on the practice putting green on Lopez with my 6 yr old son when we were told that he needed a collar on his shirt to be on the practice green , it's a wonder why golf participation in the younger generations in in a major decline, he won't go anymore without a polo shirt on as he is sensitive about being told off but that's not the way to bring on the youth of today, I know there is a etiquette on the course but it's a practice green.

I hate denim on the golf Course. How can you allow denim and require collared shirts?

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.

It is so unusual to hear about our ambassadors here telling anyone rules. If something is said, it is usually at check in. The complaints usually made about these lovely and polite men and women are generally that they are not given authority to be tough enough on things like slow play etc.

I hope you enjoy your visit with your young child.

Jeans, are allowed, and they have been allowed for at least the 3 1/2 years I have been here. BUT the jeans must not be torn, have holes etc., or maybe someone was in error, but jeans are allowed, check the dress codes.

I know they are allowed.....but there were times when they weren't, whether by code or individual ambassador. I think dumbing down the dress codes is a shame, and so glad the private CC's haven't followed that trend. In a recent interview, Gary Player said that one of the reasons he enjoyed coming to the US to play was that Americans respected each other and one of the ways they showed that was in how they dressed. The other good news was, if you saw the Drive, Chip and Putt competition the kids were dressed, showed the proper manners and respect for the game and were evidently taught the culture of the game. It's going away, but for the most part, the players here in TV continue to respect the game and dress appropriately. Lets hope they stay in the majority and the denim is a small part.

Yes we I have been visiting the villages for the last 15 years, first visited when I was 30 with my girlfriends mum and dad who had friends here , they have owned a home for the last 9 years. The girlfriend is now my wife of 13 years and both our kids have visited once or twice a year since they were born.
