Platform Tennis is an easy game to learn and enjoy.  Men, women and children can compete together without physical strength being the sole determinate of the winner.  Platform Tennis is a fun, fast-paced sport played on a court about 1/4 the size of a standard tennis court, using paddles and a rubber ball.  When the weather cools off and the leaves turn, Platform Tennis season has arrived.  It is played in the fall and winter months.  Easy to learn - especially for squash, racquetball, and tennis players - this sport is perfect for anyone wanting to work up a sweat outdoors during the fall and winter.

Platform Tennis has been described as the “chess game of racquet sports.” It is a unique outdoor tennis game, generally played in cold weather that requires the patience of a tortoise combined with the speed of a hare. It is a game in which raw power is not the ultimate weapon, but finesse and accuracy are rewarded. Primarily a doubles game, teamwork between partners is also an important feature.

The Platform or Paddle Tennis season runs from October 1 through May 1 each year.  However, the courts are available for play on a year round basis.  The courts are open 7 days a week. The locker rooms at the pool house are also available 7 days a week. Each season, permanent court times may be booked so Members may play at a desired time each week.  Otherwise, court time is on a first-come, first-served reservation system.  Friday and Saturday evenings are available on a first-come, first-served basis with no permanent times. Balls are for sale and paddles are for rent at the gate house. Guest fee is $7.
