    So I did it, caved and all of a sudden I have a pickleball addiction and a sense of urgency to whack some balls around any chance I get. I think this is any native Washingtonian rite of passage. And even if you're a transplant.. we welcome you with open arms. This is an awesome place for some open play. You do have to register for a spot online as they are limited, but can choose your skill level and it's a blast being able to mingle with other players and practice. Totally worth the 30+ minute drive it takes to get here from my area in Seattle but I recommend to anyone!

    If you're looking for a place to play indoor pickleball in Tacoma, then head over to The Drop Pickleball Club at the corner of S. 25th & Fawcett. Located just up the hill from the Tacoma Dome, the club features seven indoor courts and one outdoor court. Programs are offered for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players, and its a great place to improve your game and get ready for tournament play. There are different membership levels, and we started with the "Drop In" membership but quickly upgraded to the "The Drive" membership since we love this place so much. We highly recommend checking their schedule to reserve a court, sign up for Open Play, or take one of their classes.

    This place is amazing! Brand new space- 6 indoor and one outdoor Pickleball courts! Open for less than a month, it's a brand new, shiny state of the art venue! I met the owners Kristen and Brad- very sharp and chilled Pickleball enthusiasts. Me and 3 friends rented a court for an hour- excellent space: bright, airy, and clean. There was a group lesson across from us with about 8 people practicing their dinking skills; a private lesson; and a young couple playing on another court. It was hopping with great energy! We easily booked our court using the Court Reserve app! Truly an excellent experience- we highly recommend it!

    All around, LRC is a very pleasant place. Up until recently, I had been a member for pretty much…read morethe entire time since 1987. I have played on the four indoor courts extensively, including a lot of league play, and have always found them adequate. They were resurfaced not too long ago. Playing on the six outdoor courts in good weather is really nice, though as a previous poster noted, they are typically dry only four or five months a year. For anyone who values the social aspect of tennis, LRC is a good bet, too. The management and members are friendly folks. I'll always have a warm place in my heart for this club, and would have given five stars but for not wishing to appear as a homey booster.

    The staff here always shows hospitality during tournaments. That's really the only thing I like…read moreabout this club. The outdoor courts are nice. But who's joining a tennis club in Seattle/Tacoma where it rains 8 months out of the year for the outdoor courts? I'm judging this place based on their indoor courts which needs work. The lighting could be nicer on all 4 indoor courts. They have 2 courts in one area of the club, then 2 in another. The first 2 courts are awful, there are big ceiling poles in the middle, and a wall to the left side that you can easily run into. I've had Lakewood team tennis players tell me it's their strategy to hit short angles so players collide into that wall. When you run back for lobs, there's basically no padding behind the tarp. So you collide right into a wall. Once, I was running back for a lob and someone had the steel door open because they were watching a match through it (I don't get why this person thought this was a good idea). So, I run into the tarp and right into the door (I didn't know it was open), right into them, and had the door been open a bit more, it would have probably knocked me out. They have a pool here. But it's not a real lap pool where you can swim. It's what I call a "drunk pool." Meaning it's more one of those pools people in Southern Cali will have in their backyard, where on late summer nights when you've had a lil' too much hard alcohol and for some reason you feel like jumping into water naked - it's that type of sized pool. If this club near was in the Bellevue or Seattle area, or more North, it wouldn't survive. I think it has a large membership base because there aren't many options in the Tacoma area for tennis. Tacoma Lawn isn't worth the money at all (indoor courts are pretty weak), Sprinker is nice but always packed, so Lakewood survives as an alternative.

    TLTC has been so great for our family. After 18 months on the waitlist, we paid our initiation fees…read moreand have never regretted it for a second. There are two permanent indoor courts and 6 beautiful outdoor courts. During the winter, 4 of the 6 outdoor courts are put under bubbles for 6 total winter courts. Membership is capped so that court availability is excellent (thus, the waitlist). The pool is very nice and surrounded by nice gas grills and tables. During the summer, everyone grills and enjoys the pool and the weather. There is a dedicated Pickleball Court, a playground, and a full gym, which currently includes a club Peleton membership and two Peleton bikes.. The people at TLTC are great. I've made great, lifelong friends since we joined in 2017. TLTC has USTA tennis teams at just about every level and frequently sends teams to Sectionals and, sometimes, Nationals. The club supports these team, paying for team away court fees to encourage participation. The club also has a rich history. The club was originally formed in 1890 and has been at the current location since 1903. The old photos as you walk in make you feel a part of something special. If you're looking for a club in the South Sound and are considering TLTC, don't hesitate. The waitlist can be long, but the wait is worth it!

    The clubhouse at Tacoma Lawn is nice, and the locker rooms look great. But the rest of the club is…read morebelow average. It survives because it's the only higher end tennis facility in Southwest Washington. They have 4 indoor courts, 2 of which are in a bubble. The lighting is good, but you can find much nicer at equally priced clubs. So, it's really only worth the money in the summer when you can use their outdoor courts. By comparison, the club I joined also has a 4 court facility. It also has much lower initiation, but still maintains decent membership cap to ensure court availability. Tacoma Lawn has a gym and much better locker rooms, but the club I joined has nicer courts in every single possible aspect. It also has as nice an outdoor pool. So compared to tennis clubs in Bellevue or Seattle, Tacoma Lawn falls way short. For the price of initiation and dues at Tacoma Lawn, you could join Bellevue Club, and have significantly nicer everything (huge indoor pool, much nicer indoor courts, awesome basketball courts, a more modern gym, cooler member facilities). But since Tacoma Lawn only has to compete against Lakewood and Sprinker, it has a market for itself. Also, in my opinion, the people at Bellevue Club are nicer and more laid back. If I lived in Tacoma, I'd just play at Sprinker on weeknights, and use the money saved from dues to drive up to Boeing Tennis, or a better club in Bellevue.

Arm full of clothes in hand, I'm ready to try them on... only there is no one with a key to be found. Sadly, I've encountered this issue at this specific store on multiple occasions. Most times I get the "i'm sorry I didn't see you standing there waiting" response, but I have gotten the less than pleasant "you're taking me away from whatever I was doing" look and sneer. My most recent shopping trip here, issues again getting someone to open a dressing room for me. When I walked to the check out counter to politely ask to be let in, the gal who walked me back to the dressing rooms opened a room up for me and proclaimed "there you go". Usually, they tell you their name, ask if you need help with other sizes... blah blah blah... not this time. Every time I needed a different size, I put my clothes back on, grabbed my purse and belongings, left the door slightly cracked open so I didn't have to ask to be let in again, and made several trips back and forth without a single person asking if I needed assistance. The gal at the counter who rung up my clothes was pleasant and smiling (not the same as the dressing room warden). Is customer service a lost art?

Not only do they have full floors of fully decked rooms and work out areas, they also have a rock climbing wall, a pool, a game room, a humongous basketball court and is super clean! We came from another YMCA in King County and were greeted at the front and registered as a guest member of the location. When we worked out, there were tons of machines and we were never waiting around for somebody to finish up their routine which was really nice in comparison to some of the smaller work out areas. My fiancé and I played a half court game of basketball and the space looked like it was really made for a professional game of college basketball. Another perk I thought was really nice was that they had bins of clean towels all over the place which you didn't have to pay the usual $2 for. Overall, it was really fun coming here and seeing the school spirit scattered throughout the different floors. There is tons of Husky art and even though it is super close to the actual school it isn't over populated on the weekends. Will definitely be back to play some volleyball and basketball with my friends getting ready for our summer bods!
