TENNIS COURT TIME PRICING
Login to book a court
$18.60+TAX
Random court time may be reserved by Courts Plus members as much as 7 days in advance. Call to reserve a court or login to your account to book courts from the comfort of your house or office.
PERMANENT COURT TIME
Starting 2023 Courts Plus will no longer be offering permanent courts. We have been busier than ever, and we have members joining all year round. We don’t feel it’s fair to only service a few people who then have guaranteed courts. Those courts are then locked up so that no-one else can book them for those time periods. We will be honoring all existing permanent courts through May, 2023.
PICKLEBALL
Court time rates are $18.60 + tax per hour. Call for lesson pricing.
If you’re unable to login, or use the app, please call the front desk to reserve a court.

It is our policy you may not solicit or conduct on the premises any personal training or tennis lessons with or without compensation. You cannot hire a coach to teach at our facility unless that coach is an employee of Courts Plus Community Fitness who has been hired to personal train or teach private lessons specifically.
