1. General Club Guidelines

Check-In:

Swing by the Member’s Concierge Desk to check in. Yes, even you can’t just barge in like it’s your living room.

Dress Code:

Look sharp and stay comfy. Proper athletic attire and footwear are a must. (Hint: Leave your outdoor shoes, open-toed shoes, and sandals at home—they don’t belong on our courts.)

Locker Rooms & Changing Areas:

Please use our designated changing areas before hitting the court. We love your style—but let’s keep it contained.

Respect & Courtesy:

Treat fellow members, staff, and the facility with kindness. Harassment, bullying, or disruptive behavior isn’t just frowned upon—it’s a no-go.

Food & Beverage:

Outside food and drinks are off-limits. We’ve got a delicious on-site selection that’s hard to beat

(sorry, Mom’s PB&J).

Smoking &Vaping:

Keep it fresh, folks. Smoking and vaping are prohibited indoors.

Kids & Minors:

Members under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. We’re all about family fun—but safety comes first.

Personal Electronics & Music:

Enjoy your tunes on your earbuds. No blasting personal speakers that might turn our space into a private dance party.

Pets:

Only service animals are welcome. Leave Fido’s costume (and fur) at home.

Social & Digital Etiquette:

Snap away and share your fun using our hashtag (#DINXSOCIALCLUB), but please ask

permission before posting photos of fellow members. And while your phone is cool, try to keep calls and loud conversations to a minimum in active areas.

2. Pickleball Rules

Court Etiquette

Reservations Only: Courts are available by reservation only. Please don’t “accidentally” monopolize the space.

Play Time: Please arrive 15 minutes early. Limit your game to the reserved time, when others are waiting. Sharing is caring, right?

Footwear & Equipment: Wear non-marking athletic shoes and bring your own gear (or enjoy the available gear at the Concierge Desk).

Gameplay Guidelines

Standards & Scoring: Follow USA Pickleball Association standards—games go to 11, win by 2.

(No, 10 isn’t good enough.)

Fair Play: Respect line calls and decisions. If there’s any confusion, consider a quick replay with our PodPlay program or consult a Pickleball Pro. Sportsmanship always wins.

Lessons & Clinics: Interested in improving your game? Ask at the front desk about available lessons and clinics. (Spoiler: They’re a blast.)

3. Golf Simulator Rules

Simulator Etiquette

Tee Time & Punctuality: Reserve your simulator slot and arrive 15 minutes early. Being fashionably late is for parties—not tee times.

Play Time: Limit your game to the reserved time, when others are waiting. Sharing is caring, right?

Practice Swings & Turns: Limit practice swings to one per shot and take turns as agreed upon

at the start of play.

Quiet on the Set: Keep the volume down when others are swinging. The simulator isn’t a concert venue.

No Food or Drinks Nearby: Please keep food and drinks away from the simulator to protect our equipment (and your score).

Equipment & Safety: Use clean, undamaged and clubs, agree on the course settings before starting, and ensure adequate space around the player to avoid any mishaps.

Dress Code: Follow appropriate attire and footwear guidelines (yes, the same ones as our general club rules).

4. Karaoke Rules

Respect the Mic: Stick to the song list and wait your turn. Even if you think you’re the next rock star, share the stage

Be Supportive: Cheer and clap for other performers. We’re all here to have fun and enjoy the show

Song Choices: Choose songs that the crowd can enjoy and sing along too. Remember, it’s not just about you!

Limit your Time: Keep your performance to a reasonable length to give everyone a chance to shine.

Don’t Heckle: Be respectful and avoid booing or making fun of other performers. Positive vibes only!

No Mic Hogging: Don’t monopolize the mic. Let others have their turn to rock the stage.

Respect the Equipment: Handle all karaoke equipment with care. Avoid rough handling, and report any issues to staff immediately.

Have Fun: The most important rule-enjoy yourself and make the most of the karaoke experience.

5. Health, Safety, & Community

Warm-Up & Hydration: Warm up properly and stay hydrated. Water stations and a full-service cafe are available—you’re welcome.

Report Issues: If you notice anything amiss—from injuries to equipment damage—alert our staff immediately.

AED Locations & First Aid: Know where our AED machines are. Your safety is our top priority.

Community Conduct: We’re an inclusive, collaborative community. Use your best judgment, practice good sportsmanship, and remember: leaving our space better than you found it is a win for everyone.
