      It is permissible to wear "dress jeans" in the following locations: Men's Locker Room, Ladies' Locker Room; Mixed Grill; Lounge; Outdoor Patio/Pavilion; and the Men's Grill. White Jeans are allowed. The Board defines "dress jeans" as denim that is not excessively faded and is free of rips, tears, holes, etc. All other aspects of the Dress Code above remain intact. Please note that allowing dress jeans in the above-specified areas does not signal an overall relaxation of the Dress Code; Members and their guests are required to follow all other aspects of the Code at all times.

      The dress code for Club events will be defined on an event-by-event basis. You should not assume jeans are permitted at an event - please consult the event communications for the applicable dress code or contact the Clubhouse for guidance.
