As a teacher myself, I appreciated Guy's teaching style, which was warm and explicit with lots of positive feedback for players. I can't wait to sign up for another class! Thanks, Guy!

During Open Play there's no walk way for people to get on and off their courts without stopping other games to walk through others courts. I wish everyone knew how to move quickly and respect that others are standing there waiting but many were just leisurely about their movement. With 4 courts, much of the 1.5 hour session for open play is paused for people moving court to court. In my opinion, Open Play should be 2 hours at the same price to allow for the subs to move through to their courts since there is no appropriated walkway.

(Quite reasonable) Not for its court quality. (Low ceiling, but ok) I am giving "zero" for the owner's unacceptable attitude in addressing an incident. The manner he talks to customers, abruptly, absolutely rudely, no explanation what so ever. And if you reply and ask for "why", his response is "You cannot use the facility anymore. I can kick you out." Authority .....? "I can kick you out and ban all of you." Yes, he is one of the partners and yes, he may have the authority. But, if there is no sign of what to caution, and no warning, no explanation, then he cannot enforce such. His attitude of disrespecting the customers condescendingly was so unacceptable that we ended our membership there. We will not be going back.

TRASH Place - Extremely Disappointing Experience - Avoid Montclair/Fair Lawn Pickleball…read more Pros: They provide plenty of balls for play, but that's about all I can say positively based on our experience. Cons: The lack of net dividers between courts is a major issue, leading to constant disruptions throughout each game. The courts are also quite cramped and not spacious, making it hard to enjoy a good game. The indoor courts feel nearly identical at first glance, and the outdoor courts are not even properly surfaced--they're more like makeshift courts made of rough, sandpaper-like material. Many cracked balls are scattered around, and you need to check every ball before using it to ensure it's not damaged. But the biggest disappointment--and the reason my group of 69 active players will be avoiding Montclair/Fair Lawn Pickleball in the future--was the lack of professionalism and communication. In the last week of September 2024, we booked an open play session with four friends. It was raining that day, and we didn't hear anything from the venue until an hour before the scheduled start time. At that point, they informed us that the open play was canceled because it was supposed to be outdoors, not taking into account the two indoor courts available. Waiting until an hour before the session to cancel is unacceptable. Communication is key, and this delay shows a serious lack of consideration. We were offered a credit instead of a refund, which felt like a way to lock us into coming back. Unfortunately, we decided to give them another chance. Fast forward to December 1st, 2024, when we booked a 3.5-4.0 open play session from 1 pm to 3 pm. When we arrived, the session was overbooked--there were only three registered participants initially, but when I showed up with our large group, it swelled to 12 people, generating additional revenue for the venue. However, when we arrived, we were shocked to be sent to the outdoor courts, despite the fact that the website made no mention of outdoor play. This was misleading, especially given that it was freezing outside with brutal wind. It was clear that they had no intention of informing us about playing outdoors in such conditions, which felt like deceptive advertising. The team's response was weak--Matt simply stood there offering a refund as if that solved the problem. There are better, more reliable courts nearby, and it's frustrating to deal with a place that lacks transparency, professionalism, and respect for its customers. Montclair/Fair Lawn Pickleball has lost our business for good. f outta here
