This club is WONDERFUL…read more The facilities are pristine. The staff professional. The food scrumptious. The tennis teachers are awesome. The members are sweet. The perfect tennis club. Come for the tennis - stay for the entertainment and FUN! If you are a tennis player - and live close to here - this is a fine club. They offer free coffee and have game nights in the bar area - as well as a great pool, jacuzzi and very clean locker rooms. The restaurant and inside decor is so rich and warm. But the most important part to me is the people. The staff and the members. This club is the best. 5 stars for sure.

Pretty cool place…read more My son had a competition there over the weekend and it was a very nice place to play. The receiving area was very welcoming and was like a large living room. They had a little restaurant that had good offerings. The courts were in really good shape and did t have the black netting which allowed us to watch the game. Great experience!!

I call The Racket Doctor 'the old school tennis store.' I've been a customer since I first started…read moreplaying tennis which was when I was a little kid, almost 2 decades. I was referred by my coach to this day, I still come in to get restrung. They do a good job restringing and always put a label with the specs. They are fast and call you normally, within a few days maybe even less to pick-up. Their demo program is good. You can demo 1-2 rackets for a week then switch out. If you need a little more time with the rackets, phone in. They are pretty nice about it if you just communicate. I would rate 5 but the reason I put 4 stars is the "hits" and "misses" when I visit, particularly about the customer service and their general inventory. I've had top-class service from Beau previously, and a woman (I forget her name :( but she classifies herself as a hard hitter, heavy racket, and top spin player ha! She showed me how to determine if a racket is engineered to be power or precision rackets just by feeling and looking. They knew their stuff. The misses were when I came in and was offered help separate times, but I was offered not so great recommendations/ recs that were not what I needed, didn't mention some hint of knowledge that they understand different racket and string specs... average customer service of "yea, look around and see what you like. What you see is what we have" Thumbs down. This goes for the shoe section too. Now with their merch, they carry the popular stuff that sells but you can't get a racket in a particular color, underrated racquets, color shoes etc . No service to have the color/model shipped to the store. Also, I always check the sales section but every single time, I can never find my women's size 6/7 (which I know is the most popular shoe size) but I always see HUGE, multiple inventory of sizes like 10, 12, 14...this goes for shoes and clothing. I've never once bought anything at the sales section in my size, ever. They don't carry fun, stylish, likable colors of shoe models, tennis models..clothing like pleated tennis skirts with pockets, there's no current tennis hat or visor options, sweatbands, eyewear in different colors and styles, no cute bear key charms for tennis bag to promote Racket Doctor which I would proudly carry!...even not much color selection for grips. No patterns, no fun colors. I would be purchasing way more if they were more open and just more fun. Pricing is fair for their services. So they are very reliable for stringing service, and demo'ing, getting your usual Tour Bite strings but don't expect to find something in particular.

I went back to get my strings restrung. This time, they remembered to put the sticker info on the…read moreracket. Good job. This time, my only complaint is that the Asian guy who was there didn't really seem knowledgeable when it came to string recommendations. He couldn't recommend anything similar to a specific string that I was looking for. Unlike the Caucasian man with the long hair that I previously had an encounter with.

This is the place for tennis lessons!…read more LA Tennis has instructors at Griffith Park Riverside and Vermont tennis courts. I take lessons from the director, Brent Pettersson, who runs cool group-clinic classes in the evenings and weekend mornings, plus private lessons. There's a great regular crew of tennis players of all ages in the classes and it has been the best way for me to meet new players. Brent has a fun in-your-face new-york attitude and keeps the classes exciting and fast-paced. I had to work my way into some of the more advanced groups but there are classes for all levels. If you come to class, we all get nicknames, so you will know me as Big Foot. See you there.

Only place I know within reasonable driving distance near me where you don't have to share a court…read morewith strangers or sit around and wait your turn to play tennis or pickleball. Who wants that? Of course, you need a paid membership here for that privilege. Membership is tiered and you can pay just to play tennis or pickleball and the highest tier allows access for all the courts, including the squash and racketball ones inside. With a paid membership and through their app, you can book a time slot to reserve your court. Hardest times to get are around 5 pm and up on weeknights as those are considered prime times. Weekends during the day are usually easier to get as well, although after 7 pm the courts are open to the public and everyone in LA comes out and it's the wild west. Everyone floods the best courts - 5 and 6 which are dedicated pickleball courts, the only 2 in the compound - and then you get a real spectacle of players, from average to really good players. There is an elitist expectation it seems that only good players are allowed to play on these two courts, which is just laughable and leaves a stink of pickleball snobiness all around. But oh well. Just as a side rant here: anyone can play pickleball and be good at it. You don't have to be incredibly athletic to excel. Just go out and watch and you'll know what I'm talking about. Another annoyance is that eiquette and basic courtesy are often compromised during these open hours. Some times, you'll have a few rude idiots that just walk through your court instead of coming in from the outside. I don't know what it is, but pickleball seems to attract a lot of people who lack self awareness! Everything is on the honor system as there's nobody there to really enforce your reservation, so sometimes you'll get some who play over their allotted time. Just kindly ask them to leave and usually they comply. Then there's the real rare occasion where they give you attitude for some reason. Just hilarious. Imagine fighting over a court that doesn't belong to you? Lmfao! The whole compound is fenced in so you have to go through the main entrance to get in. I saw one guy jump over the fence once to get inside. How desperate are you to play, bro? Just pay for a membership like any other productive member of society. At any rate, all the other courts other than 5 and 6 are tennis courts that can be converted in half to 2 pickleball courts (there are movable nets on each court). The other fenced courts on the north end are all dedicated tennis courts. Inside the facility, there are some squash and racketball spaces that seem to always be occupied. There's even a gym inside for members, but the equipment there is pretty basic and sparse. As for making reservations, the app acts funky sometimes and you can't get a reservation even though there are open spots. You just have to keep trying or call the shop and they'll help out. Other than a few annoyances mainly from the non members, it's a great place to play tennis and pickleball day and night!
