What players say Mixed reviews
Players say Los Cab Sports Club offers a large and diverse sports facility with numerous tennis courts featuring hard surfaces, but many observe a decline in court quantity and maintenance under current management amid a rising focus on pickleball. The club hosts tournaments and junior events but faces criticism over court availability and member communication. The atmosphere is friendly yet the upkeep and booking system frustrate some players.
The club originally had over 20 tennis courts but recent years saw a reduction to 13 courts due to conversions into pickleball courts. Courts are hard surface but some central and front courts reportedly need repaving and polishing. Mobile nets are used to accommodate pickleball on hybrid-lined courts.
Court lighting is very bright for evening play, though noise from nearby pickleball courts can be annoying. Courts are outdoor, integrated within a larger sports club setting including swimming pools and other indoor/outdoor amenities. The vibe is mixed given aging facilities but with professional sports events attracting players.
Tennis courts are members-only with monthly dues, but members report difficulties accessing courts on weekends and frequent blocking of courts for junior tournaments hosted by the club. Communication and responsiveness from tennis desk and management regarding court availability and long-range plans is poor.
The club offers various training classes and clinics, including junior tennis tournaments and sponsorships. No specific coaches for tennis are named, but pickleball coaching staff (Vince, Mitch, Susan) are praised highly. Private swim lessons and fitness classes also available.
Junior tennis tournaments and classes exist but frequently monopolize courts, limiting member play. Swimming classes for kids are well-regarded. Junior development is present but may impact court availability for regular members.
The club hosts tennis and handball tournaments, including the USHA National Masters and junior tennis tournaments. Adult competitive tennis teams and leagues are implied but not explicitly detailed.
Members find the community friendly with supportive staff at the tennis clubhouse, though some renters nearby experience noise issues. There is a noted player exodus amid management dissatisfaction. The club also features a robust pickleball community alongside tennis.
Reviews mention unclean and outdated facilities, including smelly bathrooms and poor maintenance around courts, with particular decline under new management. Locker rooms and showers have jacuzzis and steam rooms but overall upkeep is a concern.
Tennis members pay some of the highest dues in the club yet feel the quality and availability of courts do not match the cost. Membership is month-to-month, but some feel the club prioritizes pickleball over tennis, leading to dissatisfaction.
