What is the best attire for the golf course? What should men who are wondering what to wear first get the right outfit & items?

One of the biggest concerns for beginner golfers is what to wear. There is a dress code not only during play but also in the clubhouse. In order not to get lost in such golf course attire, we will introduce recommended items along with men’s coordination examples that can be used on almost all golf courses!

If you are wondering what to wear to a golf course clubhouse, this is what men should wear!

First, to get an idea of what to expect, here are some examples of the best coordination for golf course clubhouses all at once!

The point is to dress well and with a gentleman’s image!

As you can see from the multiple snaps shown above, the basic styling is classy: “jacket,” “collared top,” and chinos or slacks. This is because golf has a history of development as a sport loved by aristocrats. Since it was a social game for aristocrats, it was common to play with suits and jackets on a decade ago. Although the dress code has become more relaxed overall today, it is still customary to dress respectfully at golf courses that have dress code information on their official websites.

If you watch the classic movie ‘ The Greatest Game,’ which was based on a true story and made into a movie, you will see that most of the gentlemen playing the game are dressed in suits or jackets with ties. Today, there are almost no golf courses where tie-dressing is mandatory, but in most cases, it is required to keep a certain degree of elegance appropriate to the image of a gentleman. If you want to avoid looking out of place, it is better to dress up with a jacket, collared top, and clean pants, even if you feel a little tight.

From here, we will focus on the best attire for golf course clubhouses by item, along with our recommendations!

The key to what to wear to a golf course clubhouse (1) “Jacket” should be light and not too heavy-handed.

Even on a golf course, where classy attire is required, going as far as the strained look of a business suit could make you look TOO MUCH. We recommend jackets that are tailored with unconstructed tailoring or functional materials for a lightweight, comfortable fit. It goes well with a casual style with a no-tie shirt or knit polo as an inner layer to create an elegant and mature outfit. If the jacket is lightweight, it is easy to take off and carry in your hand.

Three-dimensional, yet lightweight and comfortable! Lardini’s Ancona Jacket

Pick up Lardini’s Ancona Jacket, which has a three-dimensional silhouette while being tailored with minimal interlining on the inside of the jacket. The orthodox design with notched lapels is perfect for years of wear. Although plain at first glance, the woven fabric adds just the right amount of accent to your outfit, so you won’t feel like your outfit is lacking in substance.

Dress for the golf course clubhouse (2) “Collared tops” should be worn with a shirt or polo shirt tucked in.

There are many types of collared tops. If you are going to wear it to the golf course, you should definitely choose your favorite item from the two choices of casual shirts or polo shirts. Plain-colored items do not make too much of a statement and can be worn with all kinds of coordinates. The “knit polo” is also a good choice, as it is easy to match with a jacket and gives a mature look.

Finamore shirts with a “cutaway” collar that can be worn with a necktie

Many people find it difficult to wear a jacket and shirt without a tie. For example, many of you may feel that your V-zone is lacking when you wear a shirt with a jacket without a tie, while wearing a shirt with a tie. The cause may be the collar shape. Some collar shapes are designed to be worn with a necktie, so when wearing a jacket with no tie, you should choose a collar shape that looks good with no tie. Shirts with cutaway collars, which have a wide collar opening, can maintain a three-dimensional collar silhouette even when worn with a no-tie.

3) “Pants” should be of the slacks type!

In many cases, work-type pants such as denim and cargo pants are not allowed on golf courses. If you want to create a classy look that fits in with the atmosphere of the golf club, it is better to choose slacks-type pants made of wool or cotton. Chinos that incorporate dressy tailoring, called dress chinos, would also be a strong choice.
