Tennis in the United States is played on three kinds of places: public park courts run by a city or county, member clubs and country clubs with their own pros and leagues, and commercial tennis centers that sell court time by the hour. Public courts are usually free and first come, first served, with a posted limit (often 60-90 minutes when others are waiting); busier cities run online reservation systems with a small fee and a permit for the season. Indoor courts are rented by the hour and booked days ahead in winter. Most facilities are hard courts; clay is common in the Southeast and at private clubs, and grass is rare. Lights extend play into the evening at many parks, sometimes with a coin or app-operated switch.

Hours are published for 3 days a week. On most of those days it is open 8 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (415) 441-9329. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is dolphinclub.org, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Neal Mueller Edited 9 months ago

Historic San Francisco rowing and swimming club known for cold-water swimming, wooden boat rowing, and a long record of producing and attracting serious athletes. The membership base includes many well known San Francisco figures from politics, business, and the arts, all drawn to the club’s demanding culture and daily Bay access. The facility is functional, not fancy, and the volunteer model keeps expectations high. Work hours, maintenance, and event support are part of the deal. Morning training creates a consistent rhythm, and Aquatic Park gives predictable open-water conditions. The club runs on tradition, accountability, and a shared respect for the Bay. A defining SF institution.

Fare Reviews McD's is 1 star Edited 2 years ago

Great club if you want to swim but you need a tolerance for snootiness and rules. They can be jerks about wearing wetsuits or even guns if you need to use them. Awesome sauna! Solid rowing club for solo rowers. Overall friendly and they have a great workshop to help and learn about boat maintenance and repair.
