Members and guests at the property, which was founded in 1899, are permitted to wear club-appropriate jeans that are not “ripped or torn,” on certain parts of the property, but cannot use the clubhouse’s front entrance.
Detroit (Mich.) Golf Club, founded 1899, is doing away with one tradition—no denim, the Detroit News reported.
Detroit Golf Club’s Board of Directors notified club members in an email that denim, “defined as a coarse, twilled sturdy cotton cloth used for jeans,” can now be worn on club grounds, the News reported.
However, jeans “cannot be ripped or torn,” the email states, and “any denim worn must be tasteful and appropriate for a club environment.”
Denim is not allowed on any of the golf facilities, and it also is banned in the ballroom and other banquet/meeting facilities, the News reported.
Finally, members and guests may not enter the clubhouse through the front entrance in jeans: “The Professional Shop or side entries may be used,” the News reported.
