Tennis coaching and clinics are available, but many reviewers criticize the level of instruction as poor or ineffective, citing unhelpful and unfocused coaches.

The overall atmosphere is mixed; while the facility is popular for families and offers many activity options, tennis players complain about unfriendly, unprofessional staff and poor communication, particularly regarding memberships, billing, and tennis programs.
Booking tennis courts and lessons is cumbersome with a confusing website, difficult reservation system, limited availability especially on weekends, and poor front desk responsiveness.
Tennis memberships, clinics, and lessons are generally viewed as overpriced and not worth the high cost. Several reviews mention unexpected or misleading charges, lack of refunds, and frustration over expensive fees for subpar tennis instruction.
