Club Rules and Regulations:
A. RESERVATIONS & COURT USAGE
All Reservations for the use of the tennis courts (including pickle ball) are to be made through the Tennis Desk and court time may be booked for one and one-half (1 ½) hours (doubles or singles) on a first-come, first-served basis without distinction between Tennis Club Members, Resort Timeshare Owners and Guests. Reservations may be booked up to seven days in advance by telephone (760-318-1716), or in person beginning at 7:00 am in the Pro Shop. Reservations may also be made by texting (760-902-0716); however, text reservations will not be honored until after the 7:00 am call-ins and walk-ins.
Reservations
may be for individual players or groups of two, three or four. You must have at least two players to reserve a court when making the reservation. Doubles play shall have priority over singles play and ball machines.
The Tennis Desk has the prerogative to arrange and rearrange the court assignments continuously to optimize court usage and traVic; therefore, special court assignments will NOT be guaranteed. Also, the Tennis Desk cannot guarantee playing more than once during peak hours when demand is high with Members/Timeshares requesting to play. This helps accommodate as many players as possible. The Tennis Coordinators have the sole discretion to determine who plays with whom. The Tennis Desk is managed by the Director of Tennis along with the Head Tennis Coordinator.

Family Memberships are for 2 adult people and their children under the age of 18. “Family Member” Children under the age of 18 can play at the discretion of the Head Tennis Coordinator when accompanied by an adult member if their playing does not preclude a Member/Timeshare from playing. The definition of a Family Membership includes and allows either both spouses, significant others/partners, or 2 immediate adult family members (such as a man and his adult child, a woman and either one of her parents, a
man and his brother or sister, or a woman and her adult grandchild or either one of her grandparents), and all unmarried dependent children under the age of eighteen (18) who

Social Memberships do not include playing privileges but do include use of the fitness center, adult pool, and Club events/activities (other than playing).
Any Member who has not renewed his membership prior to November 1 of any year may have his place filled from the waiting list. The Tennis Club Owners Association reserves the right not to renew memberships in its sole discretion. All decisions of the Tennis Club Owners Association concerning membership shall be final. A membership is not
transferable or assignable. Other than the summer membership, there are no partial-year or monthly memberships.
C. GUEST POLICY
1. Each guest of any Member/Timeshare will be allowed to play five (5) times per season at
the rate of $20 per person, per day. The guest of the Member/Timeshare must play with that Member/Timeshare. Each Member/Timeshare will be allowed to have only one (1) guest in
any 24-hour period. Family Membership members will be treated as having two individual
memberships for this purpose. However, if both Family Membership members have guests playing, each of the two Family Membership members will be required to be on the court with each of the two guests.
2. Guests must be approved by the Tennis Desk prior to playing and must register upon arrival. A Guest Register shall be kept at the Tennis Desk with all fees having to be paid prior to playing.
3. Non-members called in by the Tennis Desk to fill in games with Members/Timeshares may be charged $10 per person, per day, and fees may be paid by either the Members/Timeshares or the guest(s). However, this practice will be limited and will be at the discretion of the Owners Association and Tennis Desk. Fees may be waived at the discretion of the Tennis Desk for the following reasons: a) We are unable to fill a match (primarily oV season). b) The guest is someone who has expressed interest in joining the club (one time).
4. Guests must comply with all Rules & Regulations of the Club.
5. All Members not adhering to these rules may be subject to suspension or termination at the discretion of the, Director of Tennis, Head Tennis Coordinator, or Palm Springs Tennis
Club Owners Association (PSTCOA) Director of Players Liaison.

1. Only tennis shoes made specifically for the purpose of playing tennis are allowed. Running shoes are NOT allowed on courts at any time. Soft-soled shoes and other shoes
not specifically designed for tennis damage the courts and are prohibited.
2. Men shall wear tennis shirts that have collars or “athletic” shirts that include the logo of an athletic manufacturer or tennis organization. Tennis shorts must be made for tennis. No sweat shorts, cut-oVs, bathing suits, jogging attire, or workout clothes will be allowed.

E. CONDUCT AND ETIQUETTE
Members/Timeshares and all players shall act in a courteous and professional manner toward other Members, Timeshares, guests, and StaV at all times.
Proper tennis etiquette and conduct is required of all players using the tennis and pickleball courts. Players are expected to be punctual for their matches. Loud, boisterous,
or profane language, both on and oV the courts, is strictly prohibited. Mistreatment or abuse of tennis courts, facilities, or equipment is strictly prohibited. Purposefully striking
nets with racquets or intentionally hitting balls into windscreen curtains or walls to practice serves or strokes are strictly prohibited.
No activities shall be sponsored, conducted, or permitted in the areas adjacent to all courts other than those that are incidental to the normal intended use of tennis courts and
facilities. Failure to comply with these rules may result in removal from the premises and/or
suspension or revocation of membership.
F. TENNIS LESSONS
Tennis and pickle ball lessons with Tennis Club Instructors for Members/Timeshares (and
non-Members) may be booked directly with the instructors. As with regular court use,
guests are only allowed to take lessons if Member/Timeshare makes reservation and is on
the court taking lesson at the same time.
No one may conduct any lessons of any kind on tennis courts without the prior written consent of the Director of Tennis, Head Tennis Coordinator, or the Player Liaison representative of the PSTCOA.
G. CHILDREN
Children shall be under the direct supervision of an Adult while playing on the courts. Non-

Championships. Only Tennis Members and Timeshare Owner Members may participate in Club Championships. Timeshare Owner Members shall not be excluded from eligibility for
Club Championship Tournaments because they are not in residence at the Palm Springs Tennis Club Resort during part or all the period for which, or over which, the tournament is
scheduled.
I. PETS
No pets or animals of any kind will be allowed on the tennis courts at any time. Dogs will be allowed on the patio walkway running along courts 1, 4, 7, 10, and 11, and must be leashed. However, dogs are restricted from the pool, spa, and fitness facilities. The
behavioral code for dogs is the same as for Members/Timeshares. Their conduct cannot unreasonably interfere with the enjoyment of the Club by any Member/Timeshare. This
includes excessive barking or unruly behavior of any type.
J. DELINQUENCIES
Members who have been notified of any delinquency in the payment of regular Club membership dues and/or guest fees shall be subject to suspension of their Club
membership privileges until all delinquencies are brought current. Members who have their
memberships suspended shall not be entitled to any refund for the period of suspension and shall be eligible for membership reinstatement for the remaining portion of the
respective season once all delinquencies have been remedied.
K. SOLICITATIONS
No guests or Members/Timeshares may make any solicitations whatsoever on the
premises of the Tennis Club. Any breach of this provision shall be grounds for suspension
or revocation of membership.
L. SUSPENSION/REVOCATION OF MEMBERSHIP
The rights and interests of the Club supersede the rights of an individual Member. The Club
has the right to make its own rules that then must be observed by all Members. Should a conflict arise between the rights of a member and the rights and best interests of the Club,
the rights and best interests of the Club must prevail. A membership may be terminated by the Director of Tennis, Head Tennis Coordinator or Player Liaison representative of the
PSTCOA’s determination that a Member is incompatible with or disagreeable with the other Members; or has engaged in a conduct, which in his/her opinion, is reasonably calculated
to endanger the welfare, interest, or character of the Club; or for any conduct in material violation of the Club rules and regulations.
The Owners Association reserves the right to revoke or suspend the membership of any Member in the event of the violation of any of the rules of conduct and etiquette or non-
solicitation provisions set forth above, or for any conduct which is detrimental to the Tennis Club and its Members. The determination of the Director of Tennis, Head Tennis
Coordinator, or Player Liaison representative of the PSTCOA regarding suspension or
revocation shall be final and not subject to appeal. In the event of a suspension, there shall be no refund of dues during the period of suspension. In the event of revocation of
membership, there shall be a pro-rata refund of the annual membership dues.
Members who are suspended may elect to withdraw their membership and obtain a pro- rata refund of their membership dues.
Any Member whose membership is revoked or suspended (except for nonpayment of dues)
shall not have the right during the revocation or suspension to be at the Club or use the Club’s facilities, whether as a Full-Season Member, Timeshare Owner Member, guest of a
Member/Timeshare, or Timeshare Owner, Resort guest, or otherwise. The only exception to this rule is that a Timeshare Owner Member whose membership as a Full-Season Member
has been revoked or suspended may nevertheless thereafter be at the Club and use the Club’s tennis courts and facilities while in residence as a Timeshare Owner during Owner
entitlement use time (and no other time) if he or she first obtains the approval for such use
from the Timeshare Owners’ Association Board and fully complies with these Rules and
Regulations and any requirements set forth by such Board in connection with granting such approval.
Director of Tennis, Head Tennis Coordinator, or Player Liaison representative of the
PSTCOA, in their sole discretion but after consultation with professional staV, reserves the right to recall and thereby terminate, upon written notice, any membership or all
memberships within one or more membership classifications at any time, with or without
cause, without giving any reason.
M. ADDITIONAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. The Tennis Facility, viewing areas, and the patio area at Spencer’s Restaurant are smoke-
free environments. All tennis courts and surrounding area (inclusive of Courts 10 and 11)
are also considered smoke-free areas.
2. Director of Tennis, Head Tennis Coordinator, or Player Liaison representative of the
PSTCOA may make and post additional rules and regulations governing reservations for or
the allocation of playing time, prescribing standards of dress or conduct for players using
the courts or limiting the use of courts by children or guests. All people using the recreational facilities of the Tennis Club must comply with these additional rules and regulations.
N. VOLUNTEERS AND SELF-DIRECTED WORK TEAMS
The rules and regulations of the Club are designed to protect the special character of the
Club as a friendly, serene, and safe environment. The management of the Club by the PSTCOA encourages the spirit of volunteerism to help preserve the character and experiential environment of the Club. Self-directed work teams, comprised of volunteers
and, with the direction of Club StaV, are key factors in the success of the Club. It is the Club’s policy that Committees need approval of the Director of Tennis, Head Tennis Coordinator, or Player Liaison representative of the PSTCOA.
