What an exciting time it is for our Club and for all present and future pickleball players! We are so very excited for the Grand Opening of our courts, which takes place on Sunday, July 9th. The expected date of completion (if there are no further snow delays) will be the middle of June. Though we will begin our season at the tennis courts, we will announce the date when shifting locations, closer to the time.

Our facilities will include: 8 post-tension courts, indoor and outdoor seated areas and beautiful protective landscaping. The Pro Shop will display merchandise and accessories and will allow you to relax in the lounge area while watching pickleball on the large screen t.v. We will provide a “grab & go” convenience station that will have an honesty registration sheet for drinks and snacks.
