Proper Attire
Milbrook enjoys a reputation for its comfortable, family-oriented environment.  At the same time, appropriate dress and behavior are expected of members, their family and guests.  Members should be respectful of other members, all of whom are equally entitled to a dignified atmosphere throughout the Club’s facilities, including the patio, the clubhouse and the sports areas.  Members are asked to use good taste and judgment in abiding by the Club’s dress code and in their physical appearance while at the Club.  The Board of Governors and the Club’s Management have final discretion regarding proper attire.  Special requirements or exceptions for special events are made only by written notice to the membership.

General Dress Code Guidelines 
Certain attire is NEVER PERMITTED in the Club (subject to certain stated exceptions), specifically:

Denim Jeans (e.g., blue jeans):

Members are requested to use good taste and judgment in selection of denim jeans and complimentary clothing and shoe wear.  Jeans should not convey the appearance of “work clothes”; rather they should be neat and tidy.

Members, their family or guests who violate the dress code in dining areas will not be served and will be asked to leave the dining area.  Access to sports facilities will be denied to those who violate the code. Members are responsible for informing family and guests of the Club’s dress code policy.  Management and the Board of Governors have the authority to enforce this policy.

In the Lakeview Room:  Jackets and slacks, or suits, are required for men 16 years of age and older. The exception is Sunday brunch and Friday night dinner when jackets are not required.  Ties are not required of men, but they are encouraged during formal evening dining.  Proper non-sports footwear is required.  Boys and girls of all ages should dress in smart casual attire.  Denim jeans are not permitted, regardless of age (other than infants), except as allowed for certain club functions, as notified to the membership.

In the Woodside Grill and Bar:  Smart casual attire is required at all times.  Other than with appropriate tennis or paddle tennis attire, athletic shoes (e.g., golf shoes, running shoes or sneakers) are not permitted.  Men’s shirts must be collared.  Golf, tennis and paddle tennis attire is acceptable as long as it falls under the guidelines for tennis and golf attire set forth below.  Men should remove hats, and women should remove sports-type hats.  Denim jeans are permitted, with the exception of Club functions that require more formal attire, as notified to the membership.

On the Patio:  Smart casual attire is required.  Along with the “Never Permitted” items listed above, hats are not permitted after dinner service begins (other than appropriate non-sports headwear permitted for women).  Shoes are required.  Men’s shirts must be collared.  Golf and tennis attire is acceptable as long as it falls under the guidelines for tennis and golf attire set forth below.  Denim jeans are not permitted, with the exception of certain Club functions, as notified to the membership.

Tennis and Paddle Attire:  Substantially all-white attire is required for all tennis players.  White collared tennis shirts, white tennis blouses, white tennis shorts or skirts, white sweaters and white socks, with plain or
colored trim, are acceptable.  Smooth-soled tennis shoes must be worn on the courts.  For children under the age of 12, white tee shirts (without inappropriate written words or distasteful graphics) are acceptable.  Appropriate warm-ups may be worn, preferably white or light in color.
Those members, family or guests whose dress does not conform to these guidelines will not be permitted to play.  The tennis staff has the authority to enforce this policy. 

Paddle tennis attire should be in good taste, with due regard to the weather and temperature during the season.  However, shirts should always be worn by players on the courts or in the paddle areas.

Golf Attire:  Appropriate golf shirts, golf-style pants, or Bermuda-length shorts are required for men. For women, golf blouses and skirts or Bermuda-length shorts are required, except that appropriate long pants suitable for golf may be worn in cool weather.  Shoes appropriate for the game of golf should be worn by all players, and running shoes are not permitted during play.  Shoes with hard “spikes” are not permitted. Denim jeans and cargo-style pants or shorts are not permitted for any age.  Along with the “Never Permitted” items listed above, short shorts (e.g., running shorts) are not allowed for either men or women.  Children under the age of 12 should be appropriately attired for the game of golf, with latitude for their age accepted but subject to the “Never Permitted” items listed above.  Members, family or guests whose dress does not conform to these guidelines will not be permitted to play.  The golf staff has the authority to enforce this policy.

Practice Range and Putting Green Attire:  Proper golf attire and equipment are required for anyone using the practice range facilities or the putting green.  Children are not exempt from this rule.  See Golf Attire above.  The golf staff has the authority to enforce this policy and refuse use of these facilities. 

Swimming Pool Area Attire:  Proper bathing suit attire is required of all adults and children.  “Street clothes”, cut-off shorts, tee shirts with inappropriate writing or distasteful graphics (See “Never Permitted” items above) are not allowed in the pool.  Adults and children may wear appropriate tee shirts in the pool or swimming pool area to guard against sun exposure.  Adults are responsible for ensuring that infant children under 4 years old are properly diapered for use of the pools.  Denim jeans are permitted in the walking areas of the pool enclosure, with the exception of certain club functions, as notified to the membership.  Golf shoes are prohibited.  Swimming attire is not permitted outside the pool enclosure, except to cross to parking areas.  Members, family or guests (including nannies, au pairs and babysitters) whose dress does not conform to these guidelines will not be permitted access to the pool area.  The pool staff has the authority to enforce this policy.
