Tuffree Tennis Court

There used to be 2 tennis courts. They refurbished them and installed pickleball on 1, leaving 1 tennis court. Pickleball players have moved portable nets onto the tennis court, so there is really no tennis here. Even IF you could get on the tennis court, there is no separation of courts, a small fence about 8’ long, so pickleball players set up chairs onto the tennis court area making play completely UNSAFE. The noise generated by the pickleball CROWD makes it impossible to play a nice quiet game of tennis. DO NOT BOTHER to go!

The pickleball players here are outright hostile towards tennis players. We were playing tennis before the pickleball evening crowd showed up and when the crowd showed up they stood inside the lines of our court talking to each other and acted as if they didn’t know. Signs that says don’t stand on the tennis side were clearly ignored as they setup chairs and groups talking there. There were additional pickleball nets on the other side of the tennis courts which they wheel out after they drive out the tennis players. I echo a lot of the other reviews stating disrespectful pickleball players and they just look at you nasty for playing tennis on a tennis court there. We were careful not to hit anyone and didn’t, but felt pressured to leave and people looked at us as if “why are you playing tennis on a tennis court”. If you’re one of those pickleball people reading this shame on you.

Only putting two stars because as an avid, long-time tennis player, I loved these courts. I've been coming here since I was a teenager and while it was already difficult enough with only two tennis courts, it became increasingly more difficult to now be reduced to just one court. With the addition of these new pickle ball courts, it has become an even worse issue. Not only do the players set up their stuff on the TENNIS SIDE OF THE COURT, they are loud, disruptive and constantly knocking their balls into the tennis court. A tall fence needs to divide the sides and keep the pickle ball on their side of the fence and let tennis have their side. When these grown men set up their chairs and gear on the TENNIS SIDE, it makes it a safety hazard to not only themselves, but the tennis players trying to run for the balls if needed. Please do something about this. Tennis was there first!

I was playing tennis here a couple weeks ago when an elderly pickleball player set his chair up on our side of the court. We continued to play; trying our best not to hit him. After a few rallies we lost control of the ball and it went flying in his direction. The ball barely hit him, but the elderly man angrily turned around and called me a “son of a b🤬" along with other swears. With my sister on the verge of tears we stood there in utter shock as we watched him walk off the court with his belongings. After this experience I will definitely never be playing here again.

Pickle ball courts are adjacent and I must say, they are loud, stand on the tennis courts while waiting for their pickle ball court, set up their stuff all over the fence on the tennis side. Learn to read the signs that say don't wait there. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE TENNIS LESSONS GOING ON. I'm talking like 30 people deep while parents are trying to watch their kids. Nobody should be on the courts while games and practices are happening.
