Golf Holiday Clothing Guide

Choosing clothing for a golf vacation requires some careful thought. The clothing that you need to pack can vary, depending on a number of factors. Most clubs have a dress code, for instance, or they may be hosting an event during your stay.

Whichever type of clothing you choose for your golf holiday, make sure that it is made from high quality materials. It doesn`t have to be clothing that is specifically made for golf, as long as it conforms to a golf club`s dress code. Various retailers have some excellent quality clothing for both men and women that is acceptable both on and off the course.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when trying to choose the best clothing for a golf holiday.

Dress Codes
Chances are, if you`re vacationing at a golf club or resort, you will need to abide by a dress code. Depending on the golf club you choose, this dress code might be rather strict or somewhat relaxed. It is recommended that you obtain a copy of the club`s dress code before you arrive. This can prevent any embarrassment and it will help ensure that you spend your holiday on the course and not in the store.

If you are unable to obtain a copy of the dress code for the club that you will be visiting, there are a few types of clothing that are generally considered to be acceptable at most clubs. Collared shirts and neutral colored pants or slacks, for example, are usually considered to be the acceptable attire at most clubs.

Club or Resort Events
The majority of golf clubs and resorts will hold at least a few events throughout the course of the season. Before arriving, you may also want to inquire about any planned events during your stay. Many of these events will be formal or black-tie occasions.

Instead of scrambling to find something to wear to these types of events, you should consider packing some type of formal wear. Smart suits and ties should be acceptable for men attending formal occasions and women can stick with the ever popular "little black dress". Tuxedos and cocktail dresses are usually required for black tie affairs.

Weather
The weather will often be a huge determining factor in the types of clothing that you choose for your golf holiday. Whatever the conditions, Hurley clothing and other reputable suppliers, will have suitable outfits. Be sure to check the weather forecast for the area where the golf course is located. In hot weather, you may want to consider taking shorts instead of pants and vice versa for cooler weather.
