In order to remove any barriers members may have to visiting the Club, the Board of Directors has determined that a relaxation of the Club's dress code during these times would be appropriate. As such, jackets and ties will not be required in any part of the clubhouse for the foreseeable future. We do ask, however, that members and guests availing themselves of casual attire take into consideration the special nature of The Chicago Club.
