Fairhaven Golf Club promotes high standards of etiquette, and respect for others.  With this in mind, the dress code simply outlines a smart, neat and clean, standard of dress both on and off the course. It is hoped that everyone will assist in maintaining the high standards expected both on the Course and in the Clubhouse, respectfully maintaining the traditions of our club.
