T-shirts are not allowed. You need to wear a shirt with a collar. That rule even applies to the driving range.

And, here is another tip for the driving range. Place the basket under the ball shoot before you put in the token. I learned that one the hard way.

On an executive 9 hole beginner course, what is the dress code. Planning our first ever round of golf in The Villages and all I have in Florida is shorts and t-shirts. Hoping t-shires are allowed on the executive courses. Thanks

Your question is not clear. Is this the "first ever" round of golf you will play....or is it just the first round in The Villages? If it is the first ever, you would do well to get some practice on the driving range before stepping foot on a golf course.
Nothing will draw the ire of other golfers as quickly as someone constantly swinging and missing or hacking the ball all over the course because they simply do not know how to hit a golf ball. You must keep the game moving so other players don't back up waiting behind you. That is simple golf etiquette.
That said.........good luck and enjoy the game!

If it”s going to be your first time playing golf, you will fit right in with the vast majority of people on the courses here so don”t worry.

We have played golf before. My wife actually took lessons over the summer. I have not played in a couple years but will be fine. We use to go later in the day, just the 2 of us and just enjoyed each other. That is what we hope to accomplish.

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

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