IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Tennis reservations are handled on our online booking system during the indoor season. This is simple to access through the club web site if you are a full athletic member; pool only members are entitled to one court reservation per month and need to call the pro-shop to reserve a court. If you have not been registered or you are unfamiliar with the system, please contact the pro shop. During the summer season, use of indoor cours is free of charge. Courts may not be reserved in advance. To sign up for a court during the summer season you must sign up in person at the pro shop when you are ready to play.
We ask our members to be more diligent on guest sign-ins and registering their guests. Rules for the tennis section can be found in the back of the membership directory or on the web site.
All tennis attire including clothing, hats, socks, accessories and footwear worn by all players on the courts must be white in color with no more than 10% color trim. Tennis footwear may have color and must be appropriate to the surface (may not have cleats or other sole design features).
