Court Guidelines
Court Etiquette
- Before entering the court, players are asked to wait behind their court until their court time.
- Please wait until a point is over before moving/crossing the court;
- Any garbage (e.g., ball tins, grips) should be picked up and placed in the garbage bins located next to the courts.
- As a courtesy to other players, cell phone use is strictly prohibited on court. Players are asked to turn off their cell phones or set to silent while on court. In the event you receive a phone call on court, please leave the court area to answer it.
-
All players must wear appropriate tennis attire and non-marking tennis shoes. For the protection of players and of the court surface, no jogging, running or other shoes may be worn on the courts. Members without proper tennis shoes will not be permitted to play on courts.
Member Court Bookings
- A Member may book a court up to 7-days in advance, beginning at 8:00am EST (system time). NOTE: System time refers to our online court booking program internal time.

Guests
- A guest is a person who is not a member of the Club but is brought to the Club by a member. Members must play on the court with their guest(s) in order for the player(s) to be considered a guest.
- Members are responsible for entering their guests' names into the booking system and making sure the guest fee of $5 is paid by credit card when the court is booked.
- Guests are required to follow Club rules. Members are responsible for having their guests obey Club rules. Members whose guests break the rules may face suspension of booking and therefore playing privileges, or other penalties as deemed appropriate. The Club reserves the right to refuse guest privileges to players with a history of breaking the rules.
Court Cancellation
- A Member must make every effort to provide a minimum of 24-hour notice to cancel a tennis court.
- Members who fail to show up on time for their court will forfeit their booking after a 10-minute grace period. Repeated no- shows may forfeit court booking privileges at the discretion of the Club's Board of Directors.
