I absolutely love this place for me and the kid. I initially discovered this place because i…read morefrequent Mason Mill and the PATH trails. I started with the Adult Beginner Saturday class. It wasn't awkward at all ... being that I never played tennis. Coach Joe is AWESOME. He's funny, full of energy, and treats each one of us like we can be a tennis star even in our later years. I found the Summer Class for the little kids (5 years old) to be reasonable and luckily in my time schedule. Monday's at 4 and Saturday mornings. The coach is so good and he really encourages my daughter. She's 5 so I don't know if she'll be good or not ... but it's definitely great to get outdoors and introduce her and I to something new. They also have a lot of free and for profit events. Join the email group. If things remain the same I'll forever be a patron whether active or passive.

We've been here for pickleball class and it's a great time! Coach Emory is fun, funny, and skilled…read more There are varying levels of classes, starting with Beginner and then Emerging Beginner. The max capacity for the class is 8 people, so you have to make your reservation early - this is easy enough to do on their website. They also offer round robin tournaments and other organized pickleball activities. My only gripe is that it's not easy to reserve a pickleball court if you just feel like playing on your own. Sometimes, when the weather is nice, we feel like going out for some impromptu pickleball and don't feel like competing. Still looking for places in DeKalb where we can easily reserve a court and do our own thing. I believe you can call to check availability and reserve, though.

I love the events such as wine tasting - I think it was over 60 wines; the in-depth Pilates events, they recently updated the gym equipment, the coaches are great with fabulous playlist and there are a lot of community focused events. It's a really big tennis facility so if you're in to racket sports, this is the place for you. I still have my LT membership and that being said the locker rooms need an update. Integrating to a system that allows me to schedule tennis, massages etc as well as scan into the club would make things more convenient. I don't have traditional car keys so having to carry a single tiny card with me can be a bit frustrating. They are contract based - 1 year minimum but there is definitely value if you live or work in the area.

They have recently been…read moretaken over by the UTA Tennis Management Group, which has included a ton of renovations, including court surfaces, nets, scoreboards, etc. I like playing here- the courts are nice. But spectating can be annoying. The picnic tables are shoved up right next to the courts which is distracting for players. Also, there's just not enough space to spread out. BUT there's not enough space to sit either, so bring camping chairs and be prepared to squeeze! On normal nights, they keep the main gate closed, so you have to walk up a flight of stairs and then down a narrow ramp (colliding with other players who are leaving). Not sure why they do this, especially for popular team practice nights. On match days, GET THERE EARLY especially if you have something heavy to carry. The parking area seems ridiculously small on match days, and you could end up parking nearly half a mile away. If it were easier to access from the highway, I think I'd like these courts more. Lastly- the staff, pros, and players are all friendly. That's a major plus!

Well...they WERE rarely busy. I think the secret got out and now there are folks on these courts pretty frequently. Negatives of these courts: NO LIGHTS! Also, the gates are opened/closed by security, so if you're the first one there you'll have to call a number for them to open the gates, and if you're the last one there, security might boot you out before you're done. Finally, these courts are much more accessible via vehicle than walking; the courts are only accessible from the south side. Also, no restrooms nearby, which is typically a requirement for most official matches. If you are drive, you'll want to enter these courts from Fowler Street (across from the Fire Station). There is an inconspicuous driveway that will take you right to the courts. They now have a small sign that will direct you to these courts from this entrance; again, you'll need security to unlock these gates. Common courtesy for public courts is to limit your time to two hours maximum. There are one or two groups that come here with 7-8 people and just alternate, and stay here for HOURS. It's only a real problem when they are occupying two, even three courts while others are waiting. Personally, I have no problem asking people when they plan to finish up or who was there before they were- keep 'em honest! If you want to be sure you'll get to play (for example, a match) you CAN reserve these courts at atlantaga.gov/iparcs. It doesn't appear anyone really reserves these courts. I went through the reservation process and it appears they are following City of Atlanta rates for courts. So far I haven't encountered anyone who has a reservation kicking someone else off, but since these courts are growing in popularity, I can see it happening soon. Sadly, until they get lights on these courts- which may be never- as well as nearby restrooms, this location isn't a great option for league matches. I've enjoyed playing on these courts, but I think everyone else who plays here feels a little entitled to the secret of the courts and people seem to be annoyed when others show up. But- as long as it's sunny and there's an open court, these are in way better condition than other free, in-town options (Ansley Park, Frankie Allen, Peachtree Hills, Central Park).
