There has been consistent feedback from doubles groups about having a difficult time getting 1.5 hour courts in busier times. We have allocated a few courts for doubles play only. Unfortunately, our booking system does not have the ability to block off these times, so as a workaround, we have blocked them off and doubles groups will have to phone it to reserve them. Like any normal booking, they will be first-come, first-serve. This does not preclude doubles bookings on other courts, it simply creates certain blocks that will help facilitate doubles play. If for whatever reason these courts do not fill up for doubles play they will be opened up again for general booking.
During busy times of the season, there is a rush to book 6 days ahead. Bookings begin at 9:00 am and after the first 5 minutes, we can end up with most of the prime court times filled and quite often a few half hours slots remain. Due to this, a booking may unintentionally end up in an awkward spot blocking out other court times. Our administrative staff will call and ask members to change their time by 1/2 an hour in order to create an open time for other members. We ask for your cooperation if we need to move your booking and remind you that we will make the same effort for you if you end up needing a court and a simple shift of a 1/2 hour will make the difference.
The Club is generally open until 11:00 pm but we do reserve the right to adjust our closing time based on the last booking of the evening. If we do end up closing early, we will grant the last bookings with a 15 minute grace period.
