Pickleball

We are really excited to start our first full season with our brand new pickleball courts. With two beautiful new permanent pickleball courts and the option to include two more convertible courts on the first tennis court, we have the capacity for 16 players playing at once! We are looking forward to a great first full year with lots of drop-in doubles play, clinics, events, and holiday mixers!

Court Reservations:

We now have a chart of when courts are open for general Tennis and Pickleball play.


You will be able to email Gordon to reserve a court up to 10 days in advance. You can also just walk on and play when the courts are free without having to make a reservation, but that will not give you priority over someone who has reserved the court already.

Private Lessons:

Head Pro Gordon Kay is available for private tennis and pickleball lessons every day but Saturdays, starting in April. Fees are $75/hr, $40/half hour.

Paddle and Ball Loaners for Casual Play:

We have pickleball paddles and balls available for use free of charge at the hut during June and July. Hours are: Mon-Thurs: 8-noon and 2-6 p.m. Friday: 8-noon Saturday: closed Sunday: 8-11 a.m. and 2-5 p.m.
