Whether you're heading to the golf course, attending a luncheon, or enjoying an evening event, understanding the country club dress code for women is essential. These exclusive settings value tradition, etiquette, and a polished appearance. In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about what to wear, seasonal style tips, and common dress code mistakes to avoid.
1. Tops That Work
Stick to collared shirts or neat blouses. I usually go with a fitted polo or a sleeveless button-down—especially on warmer days. Avoid anything too revealing (sorry, crop tops!) or casual like graphic tees.

2. Bottoms That Balance Style & Comfort
Bermuda shorts, golf skirts, and tailored capris are all safe bets. Personally, I love a clean, structured look—think chino-style shorts with a tucked-in top. Avoid denim unless the club explicitly allows it.

3. Dresses & Skirts
If I’m going to lunch or a casual event, I’ll throw on a knee-length sundress or a classic golf dress. Just make sure it’s not too short or tight. The goal is effortless, classy comfort.

4. Shoes Matter More Than You Think
Country clubs usually frown on flip-flops and sneakers (unless you’re at the gym or tennis court). I typically wear loafers, flats, or low wedges. Golf shoes are obviously fair game if you’re hitting the course.
