Lafayette Tennis Club - Lafayette, California

Jennifer Tang

We went there for a kids’ USTA tournament and were not allowed to sit in the ‘club house’ while waiting for the kids. And the club house itself was literally just a mobile modular. Those courts overlapped with pickle ball markings are so confusing and shouldn’t be used for matches.

My family joined this club for tennis, and before we signed up, we were informed by the coach that the membership included access to the ball machine. However, while we were using the ball machine, the owner approached us and stated that we needed a separate membership to use the ball machine.

I can understand that there might have been miscommunication among the staff. However, the owner then told me that my shoes did not look like tennis shoes and asked to see the soles of my shoes. He claimed they were not tennis shoes and asked me to leave the court.

This was extremely humiliating. Moreover, I was not even there to play tennis but to help my child with the ball machine.

I immediately canceled my membership and will never return to this club.

I have to say I agree with other reviewers who have had a sub-par experience. This is quite a strange place with portable trailers serving as a clubhouse, which we are apparently not allowed to use to watch our kids’ tennis matches. We’re here for a 4-hour USTA event and all the parents are standing on the gravel in the parking lot because staff will not allow anyone to sit in the 30 chairs in the elevated viewing area. There also appear to be various unfinished construction projects going on (maybe remnants of the facilities that burned in the fire a couple years ago?) including a grading project with rebar sticking out of the hillside.

In my opinion, the USTA should find somewhere else to host their junior events.

If I could review with a zero, I certainly would. Their Porta potties are always filled with poop and paper along with urine. It is simply revolting.

Great, beautiful location. My son does group tennis lessons and tournaments here and we love the convenience and kind, helpful staff.

Great tournament experience, parking isn't easy and a slanted driveway in and out so drive carefully. Great staff and courts.

Regarding little kid tennis lessons- the kids are barely visible during the lesson and the parents are asked to wait on a gravel walkway with a splintery railing no shade if they want to have any view of the kids. The parking lot and walkway are in disarray (see photo of protrusion that could damage the front of any car). There is no evidence of care of this experience. Perhaps an empty court to stage visitors? Any consideration would be better than the current experience. We are pulling our kids from these lessons.

This place is sad. We went to a USTA kids tournament there. The instructor and other staff was rude and not helpful at all. The place is very run down. The kids were not allowed to walk around the premises. There was no food or drinks to purchase besides an almost empty vending machine. Toilets dirty. The pool super small ( size of a bigger hot tub ) and not clean. Especially the staff gives this place the lowest star rating possible. They seem to be very unhappy individuals. Not coming back!
