Local Rules & Dress
Dress
Muirfield Golf Club is a friendly and relaxed club that understands dress sense and that standards vary according to each and every individual. The minimum dress standard is clean, neat and tidy at all times
As you would expect we like to see an appropriate standard of dress on the course and in the clubhouse. For example, for the men we suggest collared shirts with walk shorts and golf socks, or long trousers (not denim or track pants, please). The following outline provides an indicative understanding of the dress standard we consider desirable and acceptable.
