Please note

These rules apply to Tennis Club Members, Resort Timeshare Owners, guests, and all people using the Club’s tennis, pickleball, fitness, pool, and related facilities. The Tennis Desk and Club management may issue additional rules when needed.

Reservations & Court Use

Reserve tennis and pickleball courts through the Tennis Desk for 1½ hours, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reservations may be made up to seven days in advance by telephone or in person at the Pro Shop beginning at 7:00 a.m. Text reservations are accepted, but are honored after 7:00 a.m. call-ins and walk-ins.
At least two players are required to reserve a court. Reservations may be for singles or groups of two to four players.
Doubles play has priority over singles, and singles has priority over ball-machine use.
The Tennis Desk may rearrange court assignments to optimize usage and traffic. Special court assignments and more than one peak-hour session are not guaranteed.
The Tennis Coordinators have discretion to determine court pairings. Posted and printed court sheets control if there is a scheduling discrepancy.

Memberships

The full-season membership year runs from October 1 through September 30. Memberships provide a revocable license to use Club facilities and services under these rules.

Membership	Fee	Term / notes
Initiation fee	$1,000	One time only
Single	$1,600	Per year
Family	$2,000	Per year
Family+	$1,085	Additional adult family member, age 18+, per year
Social	$1,235	Per year; no playing privileges
Summer	$400	June 1–September 30

Returning former members do not pay another initiation fee if they return within two years.
Family Membership covers two adults and unmarried dependent children under 18 who are full-time students. Children may play only when accompanied by an adult member and when their play does not prevent a Member or Timeshare Owner from playing.
Family+ members receive the same facility and service privileges as regular members.
Social Membership includes the fitness center, pool, and Club events and activities, but not court play.
Summer membership fees may be applied to the initiation fee if the member converts to an annual membership.
Memberships are not transferable or assignable. Except for Summer membership, partial-year and monthly memberships are not available.
Memberships not renewed before November 1 may be offered to someone on the waiting list. The Tennis Club Owners Association may decline renewal, and its membership decisions are final.

Guest Policy

Each Member or Timeshare Owner may bring one guest per 24-hour period. A guest may play up to five times per season at $20 per person, per day, and must play with the sponsoring Member or Timeshare Owner.
Family Memberships are treated as two individual memberships. If both adults bring guests, each adult must be on court with their guest.
Guests must be approved by the Tennis Desk, register upon arrival, and pay all fees before playing.
Guests must follow all Club rules. Violations may result in suspension or termination of membership.

Dress Code

All tennis and pickleball players, including children, must wear apparel designed and sold specifically for tennis.
Tennis shoes made specifically for tennis are required. Running shoes, soft-soled shoes, and other non-tennis shoes are prohibited because they can damage the courts.
Men must wear tennis shirts with collars or tennis-specific shirts displaying a tennis manufacturer or organization logo, and tennis shorts. Sweat shorts, cut-offs, swimsuits, jogging attire, and workout clothing are not allowed.
Women must wear tennis dresses, tennis shorts or skirts, tennis-specific tops displaying a tennis manufacturer or organization logo, and approved tennis shoes. Halters, denim shorts, cut-offs, swimsuits, jogging attire, and workout clothing are not allowed.
Shirts must be worn at all times. Players in non-conforming attire may not play until properly dressed. Tennis Desk staff interpret and enforce the dress code.

Conduct & Court Etiquette

Treat Members, Timeshare Owners, guests, and staff courteously and professionally. Be punctual for matches.
Loud or boisterous behavior, profanity, and music are prohibited except during sponsored events.
Do not abuse or mistreat courts, facilities, or equipment. Purposefully striking nets or hitting balls into windscreens or walls is prohibited.
Areas beside the courts may be used only for activities incidental to normal tennis and facility use.
Violations may result in removal from the premises and suspension or revocation of membership.

Lessons

Tennis and pickleball lessons may be booked directly with Club instructors by Members, Timeshare Owners, and non-members. A guest may take a lesson only when the sponsoring Member or Timeshare Owner makes the reservation and remains on court during the lesson. No one may provide lessons on Club courts without prior written approval from the Director of Tennis, Tennis Office Manager, or PSTCOA Player Liaison representative.

Children

Children must be directly supervised by an adult while playing. Non-playing children, babies in strollers, and similar items are not permitted on the courts.

Tournaments & Championships

The Director of Tennis determines tournament and Club Championship formats and schedules. Club Championships are open only to Tennis Members and Timeshare Owner Members. Timeshare Owner Members remain eligible even when not residing at the Resort during part or all of the tournament period.

Pets

Pets and animals are not permitted on the tennis courts.
Leashed dogs are allowed on the patio walkway along Courts 1, 4, 7, 10, and 11, but not in the pool, spa, or fitness facilities.
Dogs must not unreasonably interfere with others’ enjoyment of the Club. Excessive barking or unruly behavior is prohibited.

Delinquent Accounts

Members notified of overdue membership dues or guest fees may have their Club privileges suspended until the balance is current. No refund is provided for a suspension period. Reinstatement may be available for the remaining season once the delinquency is resolved.

Solicitations

Guests and Members/Timeshare Owners may not solicit on Club premises. Violations may result in suspension or revocation of membership.

Suspension & Revocation

The Club’s rights and best interests take precedence when they conflict with an individual member’s interests.
Membership may be suspended or terminated for conduct that is incompatible with the Club, threatens its welfare or character, or materially violates these rules.
The PSTCOA and authorized Club representatives may suspend or revoke membership for violations of conduct, etiquette, or solicitation rules. Their decision is final and not subject to appeal.
There is no refund for dues during a suspension. A revoked member may receive a pro-rata refund of annual dues. A suspended member may choose to withdraw and receive a pro-rata refund.
During suspension or revocation, the member may not use the Club or its facilities in any capacity, subject to the limited Timeshare Owner exception described in the Club’s full rules.
Authorized Club representatives may recall and terminate one or more memberships or membership classifications by written notice, with or without cause.

Additional Facility Rules

The Tennis Facility, viewing areas, Spencer’s Restaurant patio, all tennis courts, and surrounding areas—including Courts 10 and 11—are smoke-free.
The Director of Tennis, Tennis Office Manager, or PSTCOA Player Liaison representative may post additional rules concerning reservations, playing time, dress, conduct, children, or guests. Everyone using the recreational facilities must comply.
Club committees and volunteer or self-directed work teams require approval from the Director of Tennis, Tennis Office Manager, or PSTCOA Player Liaison representative.
