Calgary Golf & Country Club Welcomes You
The Calgary Golf & Country Club honours its rich history and tradition by the style and etiquette displayed by club members. Upholding these traditions are important and we respectfully ask that you to follow the club's established guidelines should you be with us as a guest.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these guidelines.
Appropriate dress is required for all areas of the club.
To provide the finest experience possible for our guests, members are responsible for ensuring their guests follow the club’s etiquette and dress code policies to avoid unnecessary incidents of discomfiture.
Should a member be unsure as to whether particular clothing complies with the dress code, they are encouraged to consult a member of the Golf Shop as to golf attire or the Executive Manager or senior staff member for acceptable attire in the Clubhouse or on the grounds. The cooperation of all members in ensuring compliance with the dress code and other policies that preserve the tradition and environment of the club is sincerely appreciated.
Please note the DRESS CODE begins at the front gate.

Insurance and Liability of Personal Effects
The club shall not be responsible for the loss of any property of members or their guests, nor for any damage or loss sustained by them in or about the Clubhouse, grounds, or other property of the club as per Bylaw 10.04 (b).
Vehicles entering the property shall do so at their own risk and the club will not be responsible for any loss or damage to any vehicles or its occupants, howsoever caused. It is recommended that Members ensure that their clubs and other effects are covered by their own insurance.
Members are liable for damage incurred by themselves or their guests to club property.
Signs
Members are respectfully reminded that beginning at the gate stop signs must be observed by motorists at all times. Golfers and golf carts have the right of way.
Lightning Detection System
A system has been installed to ensure member safety in the event of a lightning storm. If lightning strikes within a five-mile radius of the course, a twelve-second signal resembling a car alarm will sound to alert members.
The board strongly recommends all members and guests suspend play and immediately seek shelter at one of the four rain shelters on the course or return to the Clubhouse. If seeking shelter on the course, avoid open areas, lone-standing trees, and bodies of water. The five-mile strike radius allows members, guests, and staff to safely clear the course.
Evacuation extends to all practice areas, including the driving range and short-game practice greens. Maintenance and Clubhouse staff must clear the course and will not be permitted to shuttle members off the course.
In addition, play will be suspended from the first and tenth tee until the signal to continue play is received. Members who finish the 9th hole will not be permitted to continue on the 10th hole until the all-clear signal is heard.
During club-sanctioned competitions and events, participants will suspend play and await instruction from the pro shop to resume.
It is mandatory for anyone under the age of 18 to promptly seek shelter or return to the Clubhouse unless decided otherwise by an accompanying adult.
A twelve-second continuous signal resembling a foghorn will sound to signal resumption of play ten minutes after the last lightning strike within a five-mile radius. At this point, golf groups may proceed to the place where play was suspended with these groups having priority in the order of play.
