What players are saying
Great place to play. I was in the area on vacation and just found out about it. It cost $10 per month with Silver Sneakers. It was well worth it for me. There are about 20 courts under roof. It’s still hot in the summer but bearable. I found the players in the drop in area quite friendly. If you’re a single older player, this is a great place to meet new friends.
Beautiful courts! I went on a Saturday morning and play seemed to be a bit unorganized. Players were not following the stated skill groups designated on signs. I hope to see the organization improve and wish there was more 4.0+ play available
Incredible new facility. Very unorganized on drop in play. If you bring your own group, it will be fantastic. People don’t seem very welcoming to new players. Cost is actually $5, but is very well worth it. One of the nicer facilities I’ve seen.
