Tips for Effortless Tennis

 

KEEP IN MIND WHEN ARRANGING/REQUESTING MATCHES WITH TENNIS DESK

  • Be flexible with your availability during the three morning timeslots, as well as throughout the day;

  • Call in your match, or your play availability, as soon as possible (reservations accepted up to 7 days in advance) - please include time(s) available to play and first/last names of everyone you are calling in; and 

  • If you have a guest, please be proactive in providing the Tennis Desk with proof of vaccination and applicable guest fees.

  • When calling in your match to reserve a court with 2 or more players, make sure to confirm that they are able to play in your match to avoid a last minute player search or double booking.

​

​

CANCELLATIONS

We request at least 24-hour notice on cancellations.  A cancellation not only impacts your partner and opposing team but can also impact several other matches because of the domino effect of moving players around to make the best matches possible.  Having a substitute replacement in mind can also help!

​

​

PLAYING TWICE AND SINGLES MATCHES

Please note that during peak periods in particular, we will not always be able to accommodate singles matches or people playing twice, (e.g. weekends, mornings, BNP tournament, etc.).  If you want to play singles or play twice when demand for court time is high, your second session of play must be during non-peak periods (i.e. after 12pm).  Please be mindful of this when calling in your reservation requests.

 

 

FLYERS / POSTINGS

Keep up to date throughout the year by checking out the promotional flyers at the Tennis Hut next to the Court Sheet, in the glass cabinets between the restrooms, and at the Pro Shop!

 

 

RAIN AND WET COURTS

Better to error on the side of patience/caution than to rush back onto a court after it rains!  Even though the courts may seem dry from initial observation, even after well squeegeed, the courts can still have slick spots especially the lines.  Water may also still remain under the surface causing damage when used such as marks and bubbles that ultimately come loose.  The Tennis Desk Staff will do everything it can to get players on the courts as soon as possible with safety of the players and courts in mind.

​

BALL MACHINES

May be scheduled for one hour or half-hour at the Tennis Desk, and may be used only when courts are available, and using them does not preclude people from playing matches or taking lessons. This usually means that, in-season, when morning courts are full of matches, the use of the ball machine is restricted to before and after prime match time.
 

​

PICKLE BALL

We have two pickle ball courts (shared with tennis) on Court 11 and all court times must be scheduled.

 

  • Players:  Only PSTC Time Shares staying at the hotel or PSTC Tennis Club Members may make reservations and must be playing during the session.  Guests are welcome under the reservation time.  

  • Court Availability:  Court 11 is used for both tennis and pickleball.  Because of the noise involved, pickle ball will not be available until 10:30am, even if tennis players are not playing on the courts.   Courts 10 & 11 will remain locked at all times when the courts are not reserved and in use.  Please contact the hotel front desk or tennis desk/pro shop with questions.

  • Reservations:  All Pickle Ball court times are reserved through the tennis desk (760-902-0716 (text), 760-318-1716 (phone), or in person).  

  • Nets:  Are on the courts and should be put back along the fence of the tennis court after play.
