Excellent local tennis club with both hard courts and clay courts. Membership is limited as this is a very popular club within the neighborhood. They also offer tennis lessons taught by various levels of instructors.

Great space and wonderful coaches! I hadn't picked up a racquet sport until I met Coach Connor. He was friendly yet educated in having me feel comfortable on the courts. Now I work with Coach Andy and I never would've thought how quickly I'd love the sport! Highly recommend this space, both members and staff are kind and it's well maintained with plentiful parking.

I was only here for a few minutes but I liked what I saw. There are six hard courts in fantastic shape plus three clay courts that I've never even stepped on until yesterday. The best part is the price, as I was told that since it's late in the season, it's half price right now. Unfortunately, this is only a three-season facility (no dome), but I'm used to not playing tennis in the winter. Tennis balls don't bounce well when it's minus 15 anyway.

Joined the club part way through the summer, also played on one of the intercounty teams. Well run, well kept club, with great staff. Both hard and clay courts. Team camaraderie is second to none, imo! Fun bunch of people!
