Court booking rules
- Courts must be booked online, starting 24 hours before the planned play time. To book a court, log in to your club account and click Tennis Court Booking.
- You can book court time in chunks of 30, 60 or maximum 90 minutes. If you want to play multiple times a day, please note that there is a 3-hour cooling-off period between bookings by the same club member. Also, there is a court booking restriction during what we call Prime Time: from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. you can book only 60 minutes.
Ball machine rules
- Ball machines are not allowed on the club courts after 5 p.m.
- Ball machines must be used only on side courts: 1, 4, 5 or 8.
- The court time limit applies to ball machines as well. When booking a court to practice with your ball machine, select the Ball Machine partner in the court booking system.
- When using your ball machine, be mindful of where your balls are going and practice good ball management at all times so that members playing on the adjacent court can enjoy playing without unnecessary frequent distraction.
