What players say Mixed reviews
Players find CityView Racquet Club to offer great modern tennis courts and a supportive environment with helpful staff and good amenities like a spa and steam room. However, many highlight frustration with court booking difficulties, limited adult court access due to junior squash programs, and occasional poor communication and management attitude. The location is praised for cleanliness and atmosphere but criticized for parking challenges and some organizational issues.
The tennis courts are described as great, modern, clean, and well-maintained, suitable for both tennis and other racquet sports like squash and padel. Several reviewers note the courts are a key positive of the club.
Booking courts is frequently described as difficult, especially during the squash junior program's peak hours which limit adult court availability. Adults face frequent court releases without advance notice and sometimes get kicked off courts unexpectedly. Court access during the season is described as very hard and frustrating.
The junior squash program is a major priority at the club, taking many courts during weekday and weekend peak times, severely reducing court availability for adult players. Junior tennis tournaments and programs are also hosted, though at least one parent reported poor tournament management.
The club hosts junior and adult tournaments, including USTA events, though some reviewers criticize the organization and tournament director's communication. Adult leagues or tennis ladders are implied but not clearly detailed.
The club atmosphere is described as supportive and friendly with a good mix of members. Staff are generally friendly and accommodating but some management issues and attitudes have frustrated users, particularly squash adult players.
