Golf Etiquette

Course Etiquette, Dress Code, Cart Rules & Golf Policies

At the Country Club of Culpeper, we believe that great golf is about more than the game itself—it’s about sportsmanship, respect, and preserving the traditions that make golf special. Our course policies and etiquette guidelines help ensure an enjoyable, safe, and memorable experience for every member and guest.

We ask all golfers to familiarize themselves with the following rules and guidelines before heading out to the course. By practicing proper golf etiquette, respecting fellow players, and caring for the course, we can preserve its beauty and uphold the tradition of excellence that has defined the Country Club of Culpeper since 1954.

The Following are the Country Club of Culpeper Golf Course Rules and Policy for Members and Guests.

Golf Course Dress Code

Just a reminder to all regarding the Country Club of Culpeper’s golf course dress code. This applies to all members and guests on the course, whether they are playing golf or practicing.

  • Shoes must be worn at all times. Acceptable shoes for golf are any soft-spikes golf shoes, tennis shoes and any completely flat soled shoes.
  • Men: Shirts with collars and sleeves, slacks or knee length shorts.
  • Ladies: Golf shorts, skirts, skorts or slacks. Shorts must extend to at least mid-thigh.
  • Dress code applies to all junior golfers.
  • Not permitted: Cutoffs, tanktops, tennis shorts, short shorts, any denim shorts or jeans, and collarless shirts (T-shirts).

Cart Rules

We would like to thank all members who are using their carts in proper fashion on the golf course. Please be sure to check the cart rules for the day in the golf shop prior to starting each round. Here are several points for everyone to remember.

  • All par 3’s are cart path only.
  • When arriving at the green posts, please return to the East path.
  • When you are on the path around the greens and tees, make sure all four wheels of the cart stay on the path. Many times we pull just off the edge of the path wearing out turf next to the cart path (holes 5 & 7 are primary examples.)
