MVCC Dress Code 

Mount Vernon Country Club’s Dress Code is designed to enhance the overall Club experience for all our members, families, and guests, and is intended to ensure that all members have a pleasant atmosphere in which to enjoy the club’s facilities and services. Compliance with the dress code by family and guests is the responsibility of the member. Parents have the responsibility to provide clear guidance and oversight of these guidelines to their children and family caregivers. Club management has been authorized to politely inform the member of the dress code violation and request the member or guest to change into appropriate attire. If the member or guest refuses to do so, the member or guest may be denied service or access to club facilities.
