Whether you're a novice or expert player, this is the go-to club for Newport. Super friendly staff will get you set up in the right group and activities. You may take lessons or sign up for a clinic (group lesson) even if you're not a member. In addition to the courts, there is a restaurant and snack bar. Club has nice locker rooms for pro before or after playing. 10+ experience.
Carol Lee: ★★★★★
Billy McQuaid on Court One is a fabulous coach for all skill levels. Have enjoyed his assistance, lessons and clinics for nearly 20 years and multiple generations of our family. He helps everyone love tennis! (All at Palisades Tennis Club) are friendly and helpful. You do not need to be a member to take lessons or a clinic...

My experience with the Palisades Tennis Club has been nothing short of a nightmare. My child received coaching from Jennifer Rabbit at this club, and I made it abundantly clear to her on multiple occasions that my daughter (13 years old) and I were under a protective court-ordered restraining order against a dangerous individual. I stressed that there should be absolutely no communication, even if my daughter initiated it, to ensure her safety. Jennifer provided reassurances that my daughter would be safe in her hands, emphasizing her commitment to tennis and my child's well-being. However, to my shock and dismay, my daughter later confided in me, because she was worried for our safety, that she had written communications, handed them to Jennifer, and were subsequently sent to the restrained party. In response, I immediately contacted Newport Beach Police to report this violation and then reached out to the tennis club, where I spoke with Dave Brunelle, the Director of Memberships. Initially, he expressed regret and promised to investigate the matter. However, after two weeks of silence, I called Dave for an update, only to be met with a response that left me utterly flabbergasted. He informed me that they had merely spoken to Jennifer telling her, it was a "bad idea." This response not only lacked empathy but also showed a severe lack of understanding of the grave danger my child was placed in. When I requested, at the very least, a letter of apology from both the coach and the club, acknowledging their poor judgment and the endangerment of my child, Dave's response was deeply disturbing. He stated that the coach was a "friend of the owner," insinuating that personal connections took precedence over my child's safety and my explicit directive of no communication. Due to Jennifer’s reckless actions, a large male process server was dispatched to my child's home, from the restrained party on four occasions to serve my daughter a subpoena for court testimony due to the communication that Jennifer facilitated. This was entirely unnecessary, as my daughter's testimony had no bearing on the legal proceedings and caused severe emotional trauma to both of my daughters. To this day, I have received no contact from the Palisades Tennis Club, and no efforts have been made to rectify the damage caused by the coach's poor judgment. This appalling lack of accountability and disregard for child safety within their establishment is unacceptable. I would strongly caution any parent against entrusting their child to this club, as it appears that no action has been taken against the coach, and the safety of children is not a priority here.
