Pool Hours

The pools open for the season on the first Saturday after May 15th. This is usually two weeks earlier than most other pools in the area.

Tennis Courts

Members have access to 6 tennis courts, 4 Premier surface courts and 2 hard courts, and programs for all ages and skill levels. Our Premier court surfaces offer a cushioned feel for reduced impact on players’ feet, back and joints. Our Premier courts 1-4 were resurfaced in Fall of 2020 to support the competitive tennis player as well as those just joining the game.

Court 1–4
8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (light key required)

Court 5–8
8 a.m. to Dusk (no lights)

Members can reserve tennis courts in 60 minute intervals. Sign in to the membership portal to make a reservation.
Please check the calendar for the latest event information. We do occasionally close the courts for club events.

NEW! Pickleball

Over the last two years we have had increased interest from members about playing pickleball with us. We heard you and we are in the process of adjusting tennis courts 7 and 8 to accommodate 2 pickleball courts this summer! These courts will not be fully refurbished at this time, but will be adjusted to support casual play. You will be able to register for the courts in the portal.

Host your next event with us!

Come celebrate your birthday or occasion by reserving one of our outdoor pavilions -- perfect for parties and family reunions.

For your summer pool party, reserve one of our six sun shelter / party pads -- each conveniently located near the pool for optimum access and entertaining. Sun shelter reservations include premium reserved deck space with shade, two picnic tables and seating.
