The Claremont Club

The club boasts 29 tennis courts that are outdoor and well-regarded, with several reviews calling the courts beautiful and plentiful. Some members note the courts are good quality but cite frustration that many courts remain empty during reserved leagues or tournaments, limiting actual access.

Players report booking courts can be difficult despite the large number of courts, with blocks held for tournaments, ladders, and events resulting in limited availability. The ball machine requires extra fees and has blackout hours, further restricting use. Court reservation systems and release policies are a source of complaint.

The club offers clinics, group and private lessons, and tennis ladders popular among members. However, some report dissatisfaction with coaching quality, such as outdated teaching methods and difficulty progressing in skill. Coaches’ certifications appear overstated per one reviewer.

There are strong junior offerings including swim teams, kids’ camps, and childcare services praised for their warmth and quality. Families appreciate the inclusion of children up to age 26 in family memberships making it convenient for junior tennis and swimming participation.

The club hosts adult tennis ladders especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays, which members highly recommend for competitive yet friendly play. Other adult leagues and tournaments are mentioned but sometimes limit court access when scheduled.

The club has a mostly upscale, family-oriented membership with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Some negative experiences with staff unresponsiveness and front-desk management are noted, though others praise staff kindness and attentiveness.

Upkeep is mixed: locker rooms, showers, and towels receive frequent criticism for being old, worn, or poorly maintained, especially in children’s restrooms and spa areas. Yet, overall cleanliness including courts and common areas is commonly praised.

Membership and lesson prices are viewed as high, with family memberships exceeding $200-300+ per month, and tennis lessons rising to around $100 per hour. Some players feel the cost is justified by the quality and amenities, while others find it overpriced compared to public options and other gyms.
