<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that regular golf courses can have strict rules and regulations about behaviour on and off the course, including what is considered suitable attire again both on and off. However, with Pitch and Putts being more inclusive and less formal do these rules extend to these smaller courses<\/strong> and clubs as well? We take a look if there are dress code for pitch and putts below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pitch and Putt courses do not tend to have dress codes. It is suggested that players wear comfortable clothing like training shoes, shirts, and pants (weather dependent). However, on specific days like tournaments or charity events this may change and it’s always best to check with the course before you play.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We take a look at what you can wear on a pitch and putt golf course, and a little about what you might need on a full size course, but what won’t necessarily help you on a short pitch and putt course. <\/p>\n\n\n

Is There a Dress Code For Pitch and Putt Courses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is very unlikely a stand alone pitch and putt courses it going to have a dress code, or if it does it would be more likely to be casual that formal. the idea of these courses is to make golf accessible to all, and at a lower cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having to go out to spend money on golf shoes, pants and shirts is an unnecessary expensive for people who may just be starting out in the gam<\/strong>e, or only play a few times a year. In fact the best quote we have seen about pitch and putt dress code was below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No shirt, no shoes, no service will be about the height of it.<\/p>Boards.ie<\/a><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That said it is still wise to ‘read the room’ and of you are playing is more conservative areas many leave the mankini or the two peice at home before you hit the holes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the course is attached to a more prestigious full course dress codes would certainly be worth checking though, as the rules of the main course could be adopted by the smaller pitch and putt course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I Need Golf Shoes For Pitch and Putt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Golf shoe<\/a>s are incredibly unlikely to be required for playing on a Pitch and Putt course, <\/strong>although they can be helpful. How helpful depends on how hard you are hitting that ball ( which should not really need to be full whack on a short hole course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, golf shoes do have spikes on the bottom that provide traction on the course and can help with balance and if you are already on the road to playing more and more golf and own a pair then it certainly won’t hurt to wear them if you have them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is best to check with the specific course or club <\/strong>if you are in anyway unsure but 95% ( plucked out of the air admittedly) will not expect you to have golf shoes, and comfortable athletic shoes or sneakers would be fine as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

Do I Need a Golf Glove for Pitch and Putt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Need is a strong word here, a pitch and putt is only 9 holes, and only par 3 short holes at that ( more here on pitch and putt course length<\/a><\/strong>) . it is unlikely you will be needing to hit the clubs at full power, and there for the grip and pressure on your hand will be less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
