Last week I got Dungeness Crab Benedict with truffle fries and caught some tennis in session. This week I got a tan by the big pure salt saline pool that's heated to 83 degrees year round and while lounging I sipped on Arnold Palmers (I'm taking a wee break from booze but their bar is great, too) and swallowed a tuna melt practically whole. There's a fitness center, a butt-load of tennis courts, an on-site bar & resto, huge jacuzzi, olympic size pool, and some incredible views as The Club is right on the Bay and looks over to Tiburon. My friend is a member and actually lives on this resort property (unreal) and I totally mooch off his guest spots to come get my swim on. I feel like every time I come I meet 1000 people and they all have really cool stories and backgrounds. Retired ER Dr, pizza place owner, French Chefs, lots of lawyers. lots of hot moms, lots of hot dads, some kids they brought with, and while there are a lot of seniors here, they're legit the fittest 60+ crowd I've ever seen. On Holidays they frequently have a live band and they'll grill burgers and dogs outside. It's really cool, very clean, and currently my happy place thanks to this sweet mini tan I was able to catch today.

While I'm not a member, I have played many matches at this club over the years. And next to my…read moretennis club (Harbor Point), this is probably one of my favorite places to play in Marin. It's just a charming, off-the-beaten-path setting. Yet it's still close enough to downtown Mill Valley. The weather's always sunny. It never gets too windy. The courts are all well-maintained. The members are very Marin (but without the snooty attitude that you find at other clubs). They have a very cozy/casual clubhouse, complete with a full bar, kitchen, TV room, and ping pong table. It looks more like a camp clubhouse from the 70s. But that's kind of its charm. They have plenty of couches by the windows so you can watch matches on their two center courts while nursing a beer. Since it's a private club, they don't allow outside guests to purchase drinks (unless they're purchased by a member). I thought that was a bit strange. I even offered to pay cash, but they couldn't do it. However, for some reason, it was ok for me to pay by credit card (you figure that one out). That being said, the lady working the bar was very sweet and poured a tasty margarita. All in all, Mill Valley Tennis Club is a lovely addition to Marin County's recreational community, and I look forward to playing there again soon.

Macall is about as good a tennis pro/teacher that you're going to find in the Bay Area. Whether…read moreyou're a beginner or tennis veteran, she will help up your game. I've had the pleasure of taking a few lessons with Macall over the past few years (and I'm a relatively decent player). Though it doesn't matter how good you are (or think you are), you can always learn or re-learn a few things. She really helped me with my volleys and footwork (and all the other tennis basics that you know but forget over time). I've also had the distinct pleasure of playing doubles with Macall in matches. And man oh man, you can't ask for a better doubles partner. She rips the snot out of the ball, and comes up with shots that are beyond belief. Although she's competitive, she always keeps things fun and light-hearted. After all, at the end of the day, it's just a game. Macall is especially great with young players. I see her teaching kids of all ages, and they all seem to adore her. As do the parents. If you're looking to learn tennis or just want to improve your game, give Macall a call. You'll be glad you did.

She is not only a wonderful, fun person, but very skilled in teaching practical skills and strategies of doubles tennis. I learned alot from her and still go back to many of the things that she taught me during our clinics....especially when I am at net and need to put the ball away. She definitely improved my doubles game. Her clinics were very fun and extremely educational. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to up their tennis game.

This is one of the oldest clubs in Marin. In fact, its 70s-style exterior could probably benefit…read morefrom a face-lift. But as far as tennis facilities go, Mt. Racquet Club is one of the most family-friendly places around. I more or less grew up playing here. I used to take lessons from the pro here as a kid. I used to play basketball in their gym, and swim in their indoor pool. They also boast a fully equipped gym with mostly state-of-the-art exercise machines. But what really makes this place a winner is the fact that they have indoor tennis courts. It's the only place in Marin that does. So even if/when it rains, tennis enthusiasts have a place to play. They also offer a bar/restaurant in the club house which overlooks the indoor courts. The food is pretty fine (mostly sandwiches and salads). The bar is only beer and wine though. So if you're looking for a martini, you're out of luck. As I mentioned, this club truly caters to families and kids of all ages, which I think is great. However, be warned, the pool area can get a bit crowded with screaming kids. All in all, this is a solid tennis/exercise club. See you on the courts!

In the meantime, those of us who paid to join are left wondering how to plan for when they close down and tear it down to build an entirely new club. We are also seeing lots of deferred maintenance, since they know they are closing sometime in the future to build a new, entirely different club. So much uncertainty is bad for morale, both for members and staff.

Even if you weren't coming here to exercise or play, it's a beautiful property to hike, bike, or walk your dog. As for the facility itself, they have some of the nicest tennis courts around. They are well maintained, there's always fresh water for players, and there's a nice shaded area for friends & spectators. I've enjoyed playing here numerous times over the year. Every year the club hosts the Tiburon Challenger which attracts some of the best players from around the world. It's really cool to be able to enjoy such world-class tennis in your own backyard. As I mentioned before, the club is extremely family-friendly. You always see kids swimming in the pool and playing ping-pong and other games on the grass. My only gripe with TPC is their bar/restaurant. The service always seems to be disjointed, and the prices always seem high for the food/drinks that you get. But it's a small gripe. Everything else is pretty stellar here.
