Tennis Court Rules

The courts are for use by members. Guests may use the courts if they are playing with a member, have paid the guest fee and follow the policy regarding guest information.
Only soft-soled, non-marking shoes may be worn on the courts
Water is the only beverage allowed on the court. No food is allowed.
No foul language shall be allowed on the courts.
Anyone refusing to obey the regulations is subject to removal from the premises. Tennis privileges may be suspended for any infraction of the rules. For cases of repeated violations, the Board may take additional action.
If court availability becomes a serious problem, restrictions on the amount of individual, family and guest play will be provided.
Members who are delinquent in payment of any dues, fees and/or assessments will be refused admittance to the facilities.
Cost of damage to club property by members or members’ guests will be charged to the responsible member.
All members are responsible to report to the Board or staff anyone who directly or indirectly does damage to the facilities or endangers the safety of others.

Court Reservations

Reservations may be made in person or by phone.
Reservations may be made up to one week in advance and no later than one hour in advance.
Only one reservation per member may be on the books at any one time. Therefore, a second reservation may not be made until play has been completed on the first reservation.
First and last names of all participating players must be listed.
Members are obligated to cancel the reservation if they cannot meet their scheduled commitment.
Court reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Neither coaches nor individual members have priority. Club tennis instructors and coaches will book courts for lessons just as members do for their court usage.
Adult (18 and older) only reservations are available from 5 – 9 pm weekdays. However, children may walk on if no adults are playing. Adults who also walk on may bump them.
Parent/child play is considered adult play.
At the discretion of the Club Manager, full-time employee non-adults may be allowed to play during adult hours.

Singles: maximum one hour play. Doubles: maximum 1.5 hour play.
Back-to-back play is not allowed if there are players waiting. The reservation book designates court change.
Rights to a court are relinquished if players are not on the courts by ten minutes after the reserved time.
All players must sign in at the pool office.

A copy of court rules and etiquette is available in the pool office.
When the ball goes into the adjacent court, wait until the point on that court is over before requesting/retrieving the ball.
When entering or leaving, do not go across a court until play on that court is completed.
Racket abuse (especially striking the court surface) is not allowed.
Trash shall be picked up and disposed of properly.
