DRESS CODE

The Ardsley Country Club’s dress code is intended to ensure a pleasant and dignified atmosphere in which to enjoy the club’s facilities and services. It is premised on members’ exercising their good judgment, respect for tradition and sensitivity to the desires and expectations of the membership as a group. An integral part of ACC tradition is the expectation that members, their families, and guests will always be neatly attired and will maintain higher standards of appearance than may be evident in public places. Recognizing that a dress code cannot reasonably be expected to identify all forms of acceptable and unacceptable attire, ACC’s dress code establishes minimum standards that apply to Club facilities and activities. Access to the Clubhouse and Sports facilities will not be permitted to members, children and guests who are improperly attired. At the direction of The Board of Governors, the Club's staff will enforce this code. Compliance with the dress code by family and guests is the responsibility of the member. In addition, Club management has been charged with monitoring compliance, both in fact and in spirit. In instances of differing opinions, members will be expected to abide by management’s interpretation.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, the following attire is never appropriate at Ardsley Country Club:

• Frayed, faded, dirty or torn denim, cut-off shorts, cargo-style pants, and shorts
