This is a nice tennis center! I played here indoors when it was HAC (Huntsville Athletic Club)! The…read moreindoor courts are so nice! The players there are all mannerly and have good sportsmanship! It's always fun to get a drink and watch the Indoor players from the glass walled indoor restaurant upstairs that overlooks all the indoor courts from the second floor! One of the USTA pros who works here, Chris Shearburn and I played on the same tennis team at UAH. Go see Chris, he is good people and a talented athlete! The dressing rooms are nice. I can't speak to the gym because I never used it and although they have 6 indoor tennis courts (they are hard courts), 15 outdoor clay and hard tennis courts (all of which are lighted), 6 racquetball courts and 1 squash court, they have over 42,000 square feet of indoor space dedicated to racquet sports, I can't say with certainty I played on the outdoor clay (really Rubico) courts. They have a dedicated staff who really makes this club shine! I played here solely as a guest so I can't speak to the membership costs or benefits. I'm really proud of the revamp of this center in 2010! Well done good people! It's also an event center (think private parties of all sizes or a rehearsal dinner) and hosts fun events including pickleball. Thanks for promoting the sport of a lifetime in Huntsville!

I joined the Huntsville Athletic Club of Alabama after relocating for work, attracted by its…read moreimpressive facilities and tennis clinics. To participate, I was required to sign a membership contract. Over time, I spent nearly $500 on clinics, around $1,000 in membership fees, and more on food and other services. Six months later, I had to relocate to Georgia for a new job. When I asked to cancel my membership, they insisted on a $250 cancellation fee. Considering my circumstances and how much I'd already invested, I expected a more understanding response. After looking into Alabama law, I discovered that under Ala. Code § 8-23-4(6), health studios are legally required to allow contract cancellation without penalty if a member relocates and there's no affiliated facility within 15 miles of the new address. I brought this to their attention, but they ignored it and even denied being a registered health studio--despite being listed on the Alabama Attorney General's Health Studio Registration. Not only is their behavior unethical, but the contract they make you sign is voidable under state law. They try to sneak in additional fees or clauses to make it seem enforceable, but legally, it's not. They rely on customers not knowing their rights. I disputed the charge with my credit card company, but the club's filing department denied it. Don't be fooled by the friendly faces or flashy courts. When it matters most, this club will put profits ahead of people. I recommend considering other tennis facilities in Huntsville such as: * Huntsville Tennis Center - A public facility with 36 courts, lessons for all ages, leagues, and tournaments. * PlayYourCourt Huntsville - A flexible option for lessons and community play with certified instructors. Choose a facility that respects its members and the law.
