Best Tennis and Pickleball courts in Santa Clara, Santa Clara County for 2026

Staff is friendly and the selection of facilities are decent. However, you have to pay extra to get access of racquet sports. Even this access is a 2nd class citizen. For example, the tennis courts are constantly booked by USTA. It is so hard to secure a slot. I'm looking for other options now and will cancel once an alternative is found.

UPDATE : I should probably take one star away . The club has been increasing dues every year and sometimes 2 times a year. This year the cost went up by more than 50%. That’s way higher than inflation! And - I don’t see a single improvement for the facility . Except They added some Gym equipment that most of the members don’t care about. 2 stars goes to the facility. It’s great. The staff is horrible when it comes to taking feedback or even just responding to an email or phone call ! They just don’t care. If you want to reserve tennis courts, good luck with that. You will never ever find one in the evening. They let USTA reserved courts a year in advance and they take up ALL the courts all year round. It’s a joke that they charge us an arm and leg for the fee and give such horrible customer service. I am reconsidering my membershipy. I may just take my business somewhere else and so should you !

Update 2022 April: After being a new member for 3 months so far, I finally reserved a tennis court to practice with the ball machine. Everything was good until I saw on the bay club connect app that there is a $25 no show fee charge (I was like what???). The next time I went to bay club and talked to the front-desk people and only at that moment I was informed that you need to check-in by words with them for tennis. Scanning barcode isn't enough. So what's the whole point of the barcode? There is no warning when you book a court on the app, there is no warning from the front desk people after you scan barcode, there is nothing except a no show charge. 2022 March: Didn’t feel comfortable at the gym. One gym cleaning guy kept looking at me, and even came in and judged my body shape while I was doing workout alone.

The tennis court usually booked by USTA. I booked it 3 days in advance, and it got cancelled lately on my appointment date, and then USTA got the court?! How ridiculous?

A very underwhelming gym for the price ( which they keep increasing ALL THE TIME, over $500 increase in 1 year with literally NO significant changes to the gym) The good: - sauna and steam room is a nice luxury to have. Not many gyms in the Bay Area have this. - if you value pickleball /swimming pool then you will like the facilities for this, they are big ! -multiple power racks for weight lifting. You don’t have your standard 2 racks that most gyms have so you can typically find one open in the morning. - free coffee in the mornings is a nice perk! Great way to start the day after a workout The bad : - Gym Equipment: you get very standard and outdated weight lifting equipment for the price you pay. You will get your standard bench press, dumbbells, a couple of traditional machines and that’s it. No new modern machines that you see on YouTube now in days. all of the equipment is very underwhelming for a gym of this price. You will find MORE machines at a city sport for 80% of the price. It does not make sense. - the buildings: the gym is divided into 2 major buildings. The area with the dumbbells and smith machine is very well lit, has windows, is clean, and just feels like a premium gym. The other building is old, shitty carpet, bad paint, and is where they basically threw all their shitty machines in. Since they separate half of the lifting machines this way, you have to cross from one building to another for some workouts which basically limits your ability to do power sets. Again, for the price this is very underwhelming - the hours: they open at 6 on weekdays and 8 on weekends. If you are someone that likes to workout early and make it to work on time, these hours are terrible. -use of space: this will be highly biased and subjective b/c I don’t have kids but there’s a huge playground area that never gets used. I don’t know why they don’t use this space for fitness. -staff don’t greet you, they seem unhappy to be there. Overall I don’t see this worth the price for what it offers. Price increases without any significant changes to the gym leave a very bad taste in your mouth. They keep saying “exciting new projects” and literally see nothing significant to address these issues (other people in the reviews have stated the similar feedback for some time now).
