DRESS CODE

 

At the Salt Spring Island Golf Club, our Dress Code goes like this. For golf, smart casual is all we ask and we are a soft spike facility. For the disc course, more casual attire is acceptable. For both courses, jeans are acceptable on the course and in the clubhouse. Tank tops, mid-riff or halter tops are not allowed for women; muscle shirts or tank tops are not allowed for men. For all players tee shirts with profane slogans or illustrations are not permitted. Shirts and proper footwear must always be worn. Any questions about acceptability of a garment should be directed to the Pro Shop Staff.

If you are looking for suggestions, try clothing that is stylish, loose-fitting and breathable. Since we are on an island and the edge of a rainforest, it is always good to have something waterproof on hand. In dress, deportment and attitude, we expect our members and guests to honor the game of golf and respect the golf course.

COURSE WALKTHROUGH

While most holes offer ample landing areas for your tee shots, careful placement will afford the best lies and angles for your second shot. Greens are maintained to be of average size with a medium roll; however, large breaks on many of the greens necessitate creative approaches that change with pin placement.

The most difficult holes are the 7th and 9th. The 7th hole is a long 437-yard par 4 with a water hazard and a tiered green that challenges even our most experienced members. The 9th, at 383 yards is reachable in two, but the left-to-right dogleg and the sloping green present a real challenge to finish with a par. The most picturesque hole is the par 4 4 th where one drives from an elevated tee across a long sloping fairway, to a second shot to an elevated two-tier green surrounded by mature fir trees.
