COVID-19 Precautionary Guidelines

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with the precautionary measures listed below:

  1. Pro Shop hours: 8am – 9pm every day.
  2. Courts will be open for play (you must show up right at your reserved court time and must leave right when your time has run out).
  3. Each player (if not from the same family) will be required to bring (or purchase from the pro-shop) a can of balls that only they can touch. If you need to purchase a can of balls from the pro shop please call ahead and pay – we will leave the can out on the deck for you.
  4. Bring or purchase your own water – there will be no access to water at the facility (you can purchase water or Gatorade the same way you purchase balls).
  5. Please be considerate of others and pick up all of your trash, balls, etc. before leaving the facility to help avoid others from touching potentially contaminated items.
  6. Avoid touching benches, fences, nets, etc. We ask that all tennis bags be placed on the ground and not on benches.
  7. Absolutely no congregating or mingling on the courts, in gazebos, or on the deck.
  8. Doubles play will now be allowed as long as 6ft. social distancing rules are maintained.
