I was lucky to attend a friend's birthday party here! I have never been and was absolutely STUNNED! The beautiful, freshly painted courts along the water were dreamy. No wonder this is such a coveted membership to get for the area's elite. Every single staff member we interacted with was kind, helpful, and professional. They really have the best of the best! Our party room had a bar area, seating, and a balcony. It was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for our party. The wine options were great, a wonderful variety and all quality. They served a taco bar that impressed me. The chef cooked me some shrimp special since I don't eat red meat, and it was perfect. The chips were amazing, they had tableside guac, just incredible. The view of the water was the cherry on top. I will keep dreaming about this spot for a long time to come. read more

Located in the beautiful Madison Park neighborhood and certainly a gorgeous venue for an outdoor wedding! My friend got married on the North Lawn last week and it was stunning with the water in the background - perfect space for a ceremony and reception. The reception was setup behind the ceremony, which was closer to the water. Tents, tables, buffet style food, etc. were all setup on the lawn - including a dance floor in front of the DJ booth. I recommend wearing block heels vs stilettos (or bringing the stiletto covers) as to avoid sinking in the grass :) read more

See all

So, unless you're a member you can't dine here. But if you are or are invited, I recommend the bar as a place to sit. It gets loud and there's a lot of people in their tennis whites grabbing a drink and laughing. The food is good, not great but good enough. I like the Santa Fe salad or the Jackson square. Their burgers are good too. It's all just fine here. read more

I'll make it clear right now: I know nothing about the membership. Judging by how beautiful and secluded this club is however, I don't anticipate it to be cheap. Places like this are exclusive and about as yuppy as it gets, but the courts themselves look gorgeous. And as a huge tennis fan, I don't think I could pass up the chance to play here if given the chance. However, I came here for a wedding. And what a beautiful site it was. The views of the ocean were spectacular and the property was spacious and classy. A wedding reception here seemed to be an ideal location, especially during the day time. If a car can't be parked in the private lot, then parking is can be really annoying here since the street parking is largely residential and tilted at a downward angle since the place is atop a hillside area of Seattle. Shoot for the lot parking and be sure to enjoy the place during a nice summer afternoon. read more

" Oh that is nice work if you can get it.And you can get it -- if you try." I've grown up at STC. It's fancy and has it's quirks for sure. My advice: make six figures and don't have kids so that you can afford the membership;) read more

Attending my second wedding here. The first time around I felt the service was good as was the food. This second time, the food was still good, but the service was very slow and they kept missing things, i.e. my husband never got salad and he had to clear our dinner plates to the side tables. The bartender at the open bar was excellent, so that's always a bonus! He was SO good, in fact, that we were looking for his tip jar to give him some cash! He didn't have one - can you believe it?! So we left money on the bar for him. read more

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience getting married at the Seattle Tennis Club. The grounds are beautiful, and even though we got married in May the weather cooperated so we got to have the ceremony outside. We had the reception inside and we had around 140 guests, and everyone fit comfortably. Both the appetizers and the main food was great, and many people said it was the best they have had at a wedding. The dance floor was nice and central so we actually had more people out on the floor than we thought we would. Overall i got everything i wanted from a wedding venue, so i would highly recommend. read more

The courts are plentiful and extremely well-maintained, and the location is gorgeous. However, enforcing the all white clothing rule for guests is not very convenient. I understand making it mandatory for members, but as a guest, I don't want to have to drop $100 on all-white tennis clothing just to play here. read more

We came for our sorority's founders day and it was wonderful! Lots of variety of food choices that were all enjoyable as well as a great space for our group to hold our event! read more

I am not a member here, but I went for an event in one of the banquet halls yesterday and it was just beautiful! The views were spectacular, the service was great, and it was just a very well taken care of and beautiful space. I highly recommend you take the opportunity to visit if you ever get an invitation! The tennis courts that were right on the water seemed like they would just be a perfect way to spend an afternoon on a sunny day. read more

The Seattle Tennis Club gets 5 stars for its location and physical assets. The clubhouse, tennis courts, pool, beach, etc are all first-class. The service can leave something to be desired at times but is mostly good. You need to be a member or guest to gain access. read more

My one star rating can be wrong because i'm not a member of the club yet. But when I browse the website intending to join, I don't like the dressing code already and stop moving forward. It's 2017 and it's not in UK, excuse me, the looking good tennis dress is one of the reason tennis is "hot", why all articles of the outfit (including hat, shoes, dress everything) have to be all white and men shirt has to be at least half sleeve... I'm done with the dressing code read more

I have to minus a star only because the membership for this one is almost unattainable. HOWEVER, if you are lucky enough to get an invite from a friend....take it! Spectacular Lake Washington waterfront setting with tennis courts up the wazoo. Full service dining/workout/event facility a la the clubhouse. The grounds are beautifully maintained with a groomed beach for the kids to romp on, roped swimming area with log roll, platform diving, catwalk, etc. The pool/hottub are the perfect temperature and plenty of close time for adult swim. Too much to say about this. The admission process is stringent and the wait list long. I'm not even going to mention the price tag. read more

I called about membership and they said it's 30K to sign up and $200/month. The worse part is you have to know 7 members to be invited and the wait list in NINE YEARS!!! You have to be kidding me....maybe my grandkids will get in in I sign up now.....no club is worth waiting 9 years....whatever. read more

Our wedding rehearsal dinner was here and not only was it an absolutely beautiful setting (view is incredible!), but the servers were excellent and so was the food. Only reason I subtracted a star was I ordered a vegetarian entree (which they were happy to provide), but it ended up being mushroom-stuffed ravioli (and I hate mushrooms - why does everyone thing all vegetarians love mushrooms so much?!?!?). With all the cheese and cream, it was still good, though. ; ) read more

We had our wedding at STC and we could not possibly be happier with how it went. The setting was just perfect, the food, wine and drinks were all delicious, and the staff were warm, funny and delightful to be around. Most importantly, Amy Rathbone, the wedding coordinator, was amazing. She always made us feel like a priority and she gave us great suggestions. We would not have changed a thing! We only wish we could go back and do it again. read more

We were invited by a friend to spend an afternoon at this fine facility. Beautiful setting, nice beach, great tennis courts. BUT, the people that work there and the members are very, very stuffy. Not friendly, rude to visitors, like they really couldn't be bothered to be around us. That explains why membership is almost unattainable. They only want the very, very rich, old monied folks. Lots of members die (you see their obits in the paper) but they sure don't take many new folks....because, there aren't that many people left in the world that meet the standards set by the club. You have to admit, there is something wrong with people who have to belong to "private" clubs..HELLO. They don't want to be around us "normal folks. read more
