This facility is thoughtfully designed, and well run/maintained. Impressively, I don't think I've ever been when there hasn't been a cleaning person busy at work. Everything is kept clean and welcoming. Front desk peeps are always friendly, efficient, and if they can't answer a question in the moment, they find a way. Eighteen well-lit courts. A little noisy, but that's part of the vibe!
The club has well-organized open-play opportunities, various leagues, frequent fun competitions, kid/youth series....along with a great array and schedule of classes; I can play as much as I want to, well beyond my friend-group RR's. With all that goes on here, it's amazing that we can almost always find court times.
Instruction options are terrific! Everything from "Complete Intro" to honing competition tactics. Group class student numbers are capped--meaning you WILL get the ball a LOT. Private lessons offered too, with a very strong teaching cadre in teaching/playing experience. You can even learn from world-renowned pro Susannah Barr, one of the founders! (She seems to be at the Flying Pickle a LOT when not traveling to play....) The instructors are all very well-trained (unlike some places I've been) and qualified; they teach, as well as coach. With 10 or so instructors, scheduling isn't hard, and available for ANY level of competitive or rec play. (I and pals have personal fav's: Joe B., and Stacey H. Each is really good at explaining things in different ways so everyone *gets* it -- also excellent at zooming in on individual issues as well as strengths. Joe seems to be a 5+ and serious competition player, but also does a great job with the kids camps.)
Also....do NOT miss "The Kitchen," with its hidden-gem-great food and drinks! Good pricing too. read more
