Thanks for the question since I'll be a golf newbie in TV. Inspired me to order some golf wear online! Hope it fits...

Here is the dress code as stated in the golfing in the villages brochure. You may need to Google "golfing in the villages brochure" to find the entire brochure online. I cannot find an exact link.

How To Dress
The following dress code is for all championship and executive golf courses, The Villages Golf Academy, driving ranges, warm-up nets and putting greens.

The acceptable golf attire includes, but is not limited to, the below:

Shoes must be worn at all times when on the golf courses. Tennis or golf shoes with soft spikes, or shoes with no more than a 1-inch heel, are mandatory.Shorts or skirts must cover the majority of the thigh and may not be cut-off or have holes.Denim pants are allowed.No overall, tennis skirts, cut-offs, biking shorts, bathing suits or athletic exercise apparel.

Dress Code for Women

Fashion golf tops may be without a collar but should not expose the stomach and must have straps at least 2-inches wide.

Dress Code for Men

Shirts shall have a collar and sleeves. Turtle-necks or mock turtle-necks are acceptable. (Min. 1/4 inch collars.)

The current online golf dress code still prohibits T-shirts at the driving ranges. Has the rule been officially changed somewhere else?

T-shirts, cut-offs and midriff tops are not permitted on Villages golf courses. Dress codes are posted at every starter shack. Please use common sense. You might get away with it once and be turned away the next time.

Just know you might be paired up with someone. Very rarely do you get to golf a twosome. Too busy here for twosomes.

It must be a mis-print. The turtleneck collars need to
be 1 1/4 inches.

Camo shorts and a wife beater. Preferably crocs with socks for shoes.

Dress Code for all Executive courses are
 

You need to wear a shirt with a collar.

I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to wear jeans. The biggest thing to learn as a beginner is keeping pace of play.

A collared shirt and shorts will work, no cut off shorts. May I suggest you begin at El Santiago? It’s a level 1 course with very few hazards and oversized putting cups, makes the game much more enjoyable for beginners. Good Luck 👍

PLEASE attend Good Golf School!!!

Well said!!!

See Post No. 42. The dress code says that denim pants are allowed.

I really like the dress code. It is respect for The Game. But I have worn nice jeans in the winter when playing below 45 degrees, complete with gloves & earmuffs! 🤶

Women do not have to wear a collared shirt

Sorry.
Call me an old dinosaur.
But there are no nice Jeans on a golf course!

a tee shirt looks like a tee shirt...
 

but if you get one with a pocket many courses don't say a thing...just no funky printing on it. Also the practice areas no longer require much of a dress code. tee shirts are fine, swim trunks are fine. been that way for years now.

No tee shirts.

On any golf course and also the driving range and practice areas a man must have a shirt with a collar. Shorts are fine. A woman must not wear a tank top unless the shoulder straps are at least 3 inches wide. A sleeveless top is fine for women and so are shorts or golf skirts. On a par 3 pick up your ball after 6 strokes and on par 4 pick up after 8 strokes. Don't tarry and play ready golf. There will most likely be people behind you ready to play. The executive courses are not beginner courses. They can be very challenging and in my opinion more so than the championship courses because they are not as wide and forgiving and have hazards everywhere! lol As far as keeping score, that's up to you but like others have said just count your strokes. If you keep score though, you can see if you're improving in your play and you will if you play a lot. The most important thing is to just have fun and enjoy being outdoors!!

For starters, just about everything you need to know is here;

And it was good advice to attend Good Golf School

Good Golf School

Ok. You're a dinosaur.



But I agree with you.


:coolsmiley:

Actually you can drive your golf cart there, but it’s not in The Villages. That’s why you don’t need a collared shirt

Please let us know where, when you are playing!

Why do you find this interesting ??? You must know the reason for the jeans

Recently I've played at the Nancy Lopez and Glenview Championship courses and at both there were players in the course wearing t shirts. I wonder if enforcement of the rules has declined or whether the rules have been changed without notice.

For a start the Executive courses are NOT beginners courses and it might be a good idea for you both to take a group of lessons as you need to keep up the pace

According to one golf ambassador the nice cotton, collared, button down shirt I was wearing was not acceptable. When I asked him why, he said it was because the small label on the shirt pocket said Carhartt. I asked him if the shirt would be acceptable if the label said Izod or Tommy Hilfiger, and he said yes. I explained to him that the golfing dress code is silent regarding the manufacturer of the clothing and asked him to go get the club pro so we could discuss his problem with my shirt. That was the end of his insistence my shirt was not acceptable. All I can figure is that the ambassador is a total a$$hole, or he had shorted the stock of Carhartt?

That's beyond ridiculous and you handled it better, than I probably would have. It also just goes to show that some people should never be given a position, with ANY amount of authority. On the jeans/denim thing being acceptable, I was shocked when I first read it.

I admit to not knowing why. Exactly what is the reason for allowing jeans?

But did you rake the trap???

What rock have you been hiding under?

He said an "OLD DINASAUR" lol
:1rotfl::1rotfl:

NO NO NO... Read TV golf rules, go to the GOOD GOLF SCHOOL.
You pick up after THREE over par, NOT DOUBLE PAR...
Par 3 pick up after 6.
Par 4 pick up after 7 NOT 8.
Par 5 pick up after 8 NOT 10.
:ohdear::ohdear::ohdear:

Actually..
 

Yes…you can! Right behind WalMart.

Simple answer
 

Because Gary Morse liked to wear jeans while golfing..😊⛳️

As the old saying goes.
"Money can't buy class!"

Always, and rake up after others that didn’t. Always fill in multiple divots and fix multiple ball marks as well.

🙁
 

Why insult the developer who gave us such a great place to live? When it’s freezing on the course I’m grateful for the jeans!

But, it can put you in another class.

Where is the 'insult?'
Jeans in my book do not belong on the golf course, and if you wear them, as far as I am concerned, you have no golfing class either!
