How to pick the right club for you
Private clubs (LATC, Griffin Club, Mulholland) require membership — often with initiation fees, so budget accordingly if you want that experience.
Public courts (Cheviot Hills, Westwood) are pay-per-use — a much lower-commitment way to play regularly.
Book ahead where possible — LA's public courts fill up fast on evenings and weekends.
Finding hitting partners outside your club
A club or court gets you a place to play — it doesn't automatically get you someone to play with at your level. AthletiLink connects LA-area tennis players by skill level and neighborhood, so you're not stuck waiting around for a hitting partner.
