Golden Gate Park Tennis Courts in San Francisco

Summary / Description

16 lighted tennis courts, 5 new dedicated pickleball courts. New and well kept courts. Really nice tennis and pickleball courts and a gorgeous club house. Courts can get busy, especially pickleball and it'll be really difficult to just walk in. Online reservations are recommended. You can easily book the court in advance and enjoy pickle ball. You have to be a San Francisco resident to get a court. More expensive than it used to be and very hard to get pickleball courts.

Positive Reviews:
Krishin Asnani: ★★★★★
Feels like the civilized British sports clubs that were part of my childhood in Bombay ; the dramatic gateway with an arch entrance into the park is superb; Love the spacious and stylish sitting area where I read and lounge before tennis. All courts are of great quality. My favorite course is NTRP 3.0. Fellow tennis partners do become good friends and that was important when I was new to SF. Impressed with convivial Celeste at front desk, coach Brandon who helps me to get rid of my habit of slicing every backhand shot; head coach Joe and other offer help when they see me with ball machine!

We played pickle ball here! Amazing experience..Pickleball is known for its accessibility, making it suitable for players of various ages and skill levels. It has gained popularity for its fast-paced and social nature. You can easily book the court in advance and enjoy the sport
Allen G: ★★★★★
First time here for pickle ball. Great new lite courts more like a private tennis club type feel than public golden gate park as expected. Thank you to the Goldmans and park and rec.

Good quality courts, but they need to do a better job communicating proactively cancelations due to light rain. Just one phone call an hour before the reservation is not good enough. They need to text and/or email.
Ian Taylor: ★
How do you get a game here? Was in town for a night. Saw they have lights. Plenty of people. But the guy at the front desk is no help and apparently you have to reserve a court. Take my money!?... Anyway, guess you have to know a member for an invite? Who knows?
