I. Dress:
Members, their children, and their guests are expected to be in appropriate attire at all times. It is the responsibility of the members to see that their guests are so informed.

Sports attire is acceptable in the dining room and bar/lounge. Tank tops, short shorts, and pants with holes are inappropriate. If in
doubt, please refer to the golf dress code.

Denim wear, while acceptable, is discouraged (work wear is not acceptable).

In the member dining rooms; gentlemen, guests and male children are to wear collared shirts at all times. Golf shirts must be tucked in at all times, resort style casual wear does not i.e. Tommy Bahama. Crewneck dress shirts are acceptable but tee shirts and slogan tee shirts are not acceptable in the dining areas.

II. Children:
We recognize that Manchester Country Club provides a setting in which children can learn to behave as adults. We have many members today who grew up in a household where this club was a part of daily life. Members are responsible for the behavior of their children. Parents are reminded that their children are held to the same standards of respect, decorum and dress code, as are the members. No one under the age of 18 is allowed in the card rooms or in the bar/lounge (excludes dining room) area after 9:00pm except to pass through from dining room to main exit. No one under the age of 21 is permitted to sit at the bar at anytime.

III. Pets:
No pets are permitted anywhere on the premises of Manchester Country Club.

IV. Smoking:
Manchester Country Club is a smoke free facility. Smoking is not permitted inside any structures. Smoking is permitted on the outside front and back patios.

V. Employees:
Just as we expect our employees to treat us with respect, so are members, their children and their guests expected to treat our employees with respect. No one is to reprimand an employee. Supervision of our employees is the responsibility of management. If an issue arises, the member is to bring the issue to the attention of one of our managers.

VI. Locker Room:
Use of our locker rooms is restricted to members and escorted guests. White towels are for showering and are not to be removed from the locker areas. Utility towels are provided for use on the golf course.

VII. Alcohol:
While on the club premises no alcoholic beverages may be consumed which are not purchased from the club. This is a New Hampshire law. No alcoholic beverage may be served at any time to anyone under the age of 21, either by club staff or by a parent. Management has the right and the responsibility to refuse to serve an alcoholic beverage at any time for an appropriate reason. Any violations will be referred immediately to the Board of Directors.
