Dress Code

All members and guests are required to respect the Club's dress code and maintain a level of dress appropriate for a private club.

The Board of Directors has instructed the staff to bring any rules violations to the attention of the member immediately and in the case of a guest, will address the guest as well as the member. Anyone who does not take corrective action to address the violation in question will be denied services. All such violations will be reported to the General Manager.

General

Special Events

Where special events permit clothing that differs from the dress code, these occasions will be clearly advertised to members through the monthly Green newsletter, website and sign-up methods.

Pace of Play

Shaughnessy’s standard is that all rounds must be played in 4 hours and 5 minutes or less. This policy is strictly enforced by the club. Below are some helpful tips:

• Golfers are required to keep up with the group in front of them;

• If golfers cannot keep up, they should let faster groups play through until they can keep up with the group in front of them;

• Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club has been pace-rated by the Golf Activities Committee at four (4) hours and five (5) minutes for an 18-hole round of golf for a fully-occupied course per foursome.

• The first tee time of the day must be played in a minimum of three (3) hours.
