Look your best.
Play your best.

We’re anything but stuffy, but we do like to maintain the game’s traditions. So please wear a collared shirt — traditional cotton, microfiber or polyester will do. It can get warm up here, so cotton shorts that extend to the knee with a pleated or flat front are fine with us. In the cooler months, keep long golf pants to cotton or a water-resistant material. It’s unfair, we know, but women get to wear long trousers, capris, dress shorts and golf skirts/skorts. Here’s what to leave in your suitcase: cutoff jeans and workout, running or basketball shorts.

“Every shot has thought appeal. That’s because the Dragon – set as it is on the side of a mountain – curves, swerves, climbs and drops at every turn. The views are fabulous.”
