“Good place to start to learn but one coach, Nicky, was difficult to work with. Her manner was borderline patronizing, at one point correcting me pointedly because I tried to make use of a ball tube to pick up balls that weren’t the right size.

“Amazing experience - the club is beautiful (and perfectly air conditioned which I appreciate during this heat wave) and the instructors are incredible - so patient and obviously knowledgeable. Both my children have enjoyed summer camps here and have gained such a strong foundation in tennis that it motivated me to take lessons as well so I can play alongside them. Thankful for this experience and this club!”

“My go to Happy tennis place in NYC! I LOVE Coach Greg and my only complaint is he can't be cloned. He is very popular because he is that incredible and booking in advance can be tough with school camps so flexibility and patience are a must. I have learned so much from Coach Greg in a few months and he is the absolute best. The entire staff and team is extremely friendly and nice. 10/10 Highly recommend!”

“Love this place! Did not know anything about tennis at the time but coach Mel sat me down and made me the best version of myself. He made me a better man and son. Without coach Mel I am not sure where I would be today. Best tennis coach I’ve ever had. 10/10”

“My kids and I started tennis lessons here for about two-month, and we couldn’t be happier! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Our coach is both professional and approachable, with a fantastic way of teaching that keeps the kids engaged and excited to learn. Each of us feels challenged but also supported. The positive atmosphere and high-quality…”
