The Life · Tennis & Pickleball
Tennis & Pickleball
We like a game that starts on time and ends with a handshake. Newport Beach is unusually well courted — private clubs with full programs and city courts with published open-play hours — and we list both, with the schedules linked at their source so a member can always check the current season before lacing up.
Places to Play
Newport Beach Tennis Club
Newport Beach
A private club opened in 1966 with tennis, a junior Olympic pool, fitness and a social program, per the club. Schedules: club program pages are published on its site.
The Tennis & Pickleball Club at Newport Beach
Newport Beach
A private club with 31 pickleball courts, including a stadium court, and 15 tennis courts, including a European red clay court, per club-published material. Challenge and open play runs all day daily; members reserve courts, with group reservations up to eight courts in 1.5-hour sessions, per the club newsletter. It hosts PPA/APP/MLP and USTA events. Schedules: the club publishes programs and event schedules on its site — the richest schedule source in this category.
Membership & costs
The club publishes two plans — Individual (Single) and Partners (Couple) — and no prices. Joining takes sponsorship by two current members in good standing; applicants without club relationships may receive alternative consideration at the club's discretion, and membership is intentionally limited. Every membership begins with a tour, by appointment only.
Published special: refer a new member within 6 months and your second installment is waived. Published benefits include a food-and-beverage credit, member parking, Friday Night Socials, and injury-status protection on Partners memberships.
House rules (as published)
