What players say Mixed reviews
Players report that Vancouver Racquets Club is an indoor, members-only club with wood courts primarily used for badminton and squash; there is no mention of dedicated tennis facilities. Courts are well-maintained with high ceilings and wood surfaces, but some note the courts are close together and lighting may hinder play. Booking can be difficult and the club has strict guest and membership policies, with some concerns over member behavior and crowding. The overall environment is well-equipped but may feel unwelcoming to newcomers.
