Dress Code Guidelines

Proper attire is required at all times at the host golf course, including cookouts. Questionable attire will be reviewed by the Tournament Committee.

With the exception of males always removing their hats/visors while indoors, the HVJI dress code is otherwise not in effect for functions taking place at the host hotel when the host hotel is not associated with the host golf course. When an HVJI function takes place at a resort, all attendees must be in golf attire if they plan on using the practice facilities.
