Our Dress Code is an important tradition at Ocean Reef Club and is designed to complement today's more casual lifestyles while still respecting the Club's longstanding traditions and the excellence in standards for which the Club is noted. It applies to all members and guests over 12 years of age. We hope that the following guidelines will be helpful in making your visit enjoyable and comfortable for you and your guests.

Dining Attire
The traditional attire for gentlemen in all restaurants is best described as “Club Casual” --- collared shirts and dress trousers in the winter season and equally appropriate attire for ladies. If worn, shorts must be of walking length. Please note that smart blue denim (jeans) is allowed in the Islander, Gianni Ristorante, Burgee Bar, Raw Bar and Reef Lounge. No jeans are permitted in The Ocean Room and jackets are preferred for dinner. During the winter season, sport coats are required on gentlemen in the member-only Golf Clubhouse with neckties optional.
