Newton Country Club Dress Code
Golf Course & Practice Facilities Dress Code
The following dress requirements are applicable to all members, guests, and children.

In order to avoid potentially embarrassing situations, members are responsible for ensuring their guests and juniors always adhere to the dress code.
