The Club’s dress code applies to all Members, their families (including children and stepchildren), and guests. NCC strives to provide an upscale casual social environment. The purpose of the dress code is to ensure that proper respect is shown to all Members, their families and guests when using the Club. The Board has directed that the management team be empowered to enforce the dress code, and thereby deny privileges to Members, Immediate Family and guests who do not conform to the dress code. The Club’s management shall have sole discretion and authority in matters of appropriateness of attire.
