Attire: It is required that all members and guests of the Lethbridge Country Club wear suitable golf attire at all times while on the golf course. It is members’ responsibility to ensure their guests and family members comply with the dress code. The Pro Shop is well stocked with the latest men's and women’s golf fashions. The Pro Shop has performance pieces for all weather conditions that will keep you comfortable and stylish on the course. Staff have the right to request any person to leave the golf course if not suitably attired. Generally speaking, all attire currently approved for use on the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour is acceptable at the Lethbridge Country Club.
 
Exceptions: Blue Jeans are not permitted on the golf course.
 
Clubhouse & Driving Range: Casual wear is acceptable in the Clubhouse and on the Driving Range. The Lethbridge Country Club welcomes its members and guests to dress for the occasion, whether dining in the Clubhouse on the patio, inside on a casual afternoon, or for a formal event.

All members and guests are required to complete nine holes within 2 hours and 5 minutes and eighteen holes within 4 hours and 13 minutes. The initial hour of tee times each day is crucial in establishing the overall pace for the day. For instance, the first group should complete their round in under four hours, serving as a benchmark for subsequent groups to maintain pace. 

It is the shared responsibility of all groups to keep up with the group ahead, ensuring that they do not finish more than 12 minutes behind that group. Consistent instances of slow play from any member or guest may lead to tee time booking restrictions as a measure to uphold the pace of play standards. 

The modified 90-degree rule will be implemented from May through the end of September, and it includes the following guidelines: 

• Keep the golf cart on the designated path near all tees and greens. 

• Drive on the path until you reach the first tee ball. 

• Drive at a right angle from the path to reach that ball. 

• Return to the cart path or move towards the second player's ball, choosing the closer option. 

• Repeat this sequence until within 25 yards of the green, at which point you must return to the cart path. 

• Minimize driving in the rough, except when transitioning between the cart path and the fairway, and vice versa. 

• While on the path, ensure all four tires remain on it, avoiding cutting corners or parking with two tires on the turf. 

Personal music systems are permitted, but it’s essential that they remain at a volume low enough to prevent disturbance to fellow golfers. This falls under a general golf etiquette category where all golfers should always be mindful of respecting others on the course, such as cell phone ringtones, general noise, dress code, litter, golf course maintenance, and pace of play.
