Club Philosophy & Etiquette
At Antelope Valley Country Club, proper attire is considered an integral part of the game's tradition and mutual respect among members and guests. All players, tournament participants, and clubhouse visitors are requested to dress appropriately before arriving on club grounds.
The Golf Shop and club staff are empowered by the Board of Directors to enforce these standards. Guests who are not dressed in compliance will be invited to purchase acceptable apparel at our fully stocked Pro Shop prior to teeing off.
