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.

This is certainly one of the more posh, family-friendly tennis/swim clubs in Marin County…read more Located just off the beaten path from downtown Tiburon, TPC boasts a spectacular, natural setting. 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.

Bernard is a great tennis instructor, very knowledgeable, talented and enthusiastic about tennis. He communicates well, point out the things I need to watch out for and taught me some good techniques. I improved a lot since taking lessons from him and I am once again enjoying play tennis with friends and family thanks to Bernard. My wife on the other hand, had never, ever played tennis before, after she start taking lessons from Bernard last Nov, she was able to rally and play games with me after 1 month (of course she practiced a lot too after lessons) . Then she signed up for local leagues early this year and started playing 2.5 and 3.0 matches, which is so much more than she had hoped to be when she first started. Lots of players thought she had played tennis for years. Now my whole family are hooked on tennis. My sister (also a student of Bernard) is having Bernard teaching her two kids. Hopefully one of them will make it to US Open one day :). Overall. I (we) strongly recommend Bernard for any level of tennis, he is versatile, a strong, talented player and simply loves the game.

His instruction on STRATEGY and how to predict what your opponent is going to do, how to "build" a point, is unparalleled. He is a joy to be around: always positive, funny when things get a tad quiet, and very understanding & wiiling to go over match results and match prep. Bernard is super-reliable and flexible. He also taught my husband, who was a beginner, and my daughter. He is supremely patient with children. He doesn't just tell every player the same thing - like some tennis pros do. We all have GREAT memories of time spent with Bernard. His enthusiasm for teaching and individualized approach are the reasons I and my husband continue to play, years after Bernard moved from our area. Try him out - you can't go wrong.

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.

She has a knack for the kids and gets them excited and motivated to swim. She loves what she is doing and her enthusiasm. My daughter was so afraid to swim. Bella was in the water with her. My daughter was on the swim team and swimming with the swim team the same year. Paul is also an incredible coach. He is also dedicated and invested in teaching his passion of swimming. My son tended to over analyze his swim. Paul knew how to get into his head and get him ready for the next event. These two coaches have different personalities and it works really well for everyone involved. They both feel that the swim team is a family. They treat everyone with respect.

At many private tennis clubs, you can only play singles (not doubles) with family members or people in your household. Needless to say, I've been missing my favorite sport and mode of exercise. Then a friend introduced me to Granada Park in Corte Madera. Corte Madera residents are allowed to play here if they have a city-granted key to the property. Needless to say, this park has quickly become my tennis "speakeasy." I hadn't played at Granada Park in years, and I was immediately blown away by how pristine and well-maintained the courts were. The nets were fairly new; there were no cracks in the surface; or excess leaves or other schmutz you may typically find on public courts. In fact, this does not feel like a public court at all. It's hidden in the Corte Madera hills, just off Paradise Drive. And it's a hop/skip/and jump away from Granada School. It's like a suburban oasis sheltered by large trees with a spectacular view of Mt. Tamalpais. The only thing missing here is a water fountain (which I can't imagine is allowed anyway these days). So be sure to bring your own water bottle. The park also boasts a picnic area with benches, public grills and the like. Though I don't think those are currently open due to the Coronavirus lockdown either. Like I said, these courts are only accessible to Corte Madera residents with a key. So don't just swing by here expecting to pick up a match. You def gotta know somebody to be able to play here (so I'm very glad that I do!). Until the restrictions ease up on tennis and public parks, I'm gonna keep playing at Granada for as long as it's allowed, or until they kick me off the court.

I've played here multiple times over the years, and I'm glad to see they're still around. Pros: - they have 3 courts - it's free to play - plenty of parking - off-the-beaten-path (behind Mollie Stone's and the FedEx Kinkos), so you won't get too many people vying for court time. Cons: - the courts have seen better days and could probably benefit from resurfacing. - it can get windy (hey, it's Sausalito! What do you expect?) - there's no nearby water fountain (so bring your own hydration) All in all, it's a lovely spot to play. So put it on your tennis radar.
