We now have two brand new pickle ball courts. A pickle ball league will be starting in the Fall of 2019. Professional lessons are available by appointment with our Pros and we have several clinics, and camps throughout the year for all ages.

Tennis Rules and Regulations
Hours of OperationThe tennis/pickleball courts are available to all members and their guests from 6:00am – 11:00pm, Monday through Sunday. All seven courts are lighted. The lights turn on and off by timer pads located on adjacent poles. Adults have priority from 6:00pm – 11:00pm each evening. They may bump those players under 21 during this period.
Tennis/Pickleball Dress Code
Clothing should be ‘proper’ tennis attire. Jeans, tank tops and swimming apparel are prohibited. Black soled shoes are not allowed on the courts; proper tennis shoes only for your safety. Shirts must be worn at all times – no exceptions.
Member and Guest Play
Members should use ForeTees to reserve a court. Courts can be reserved 3 days in advance. If bringing a guest, members must sign in guests on ForeTees. The Guest Fee is $15 per guest. Guests are allowed 12 visits before the guest fee increases to $30 per visit. Failure to sign in your guest would be a violation of Del Rio’s Code of Conduct and may lead to disciplinary action. We must police ourselves in order for all to enjoy the club facilities.Each member is allowed one guest during prime hours (8:00-10:30am). In other words, if 4 people are playing there must be 2 members in the group. If a member wants to bring 3 guests they may do so after 10:29am.All play or court reservations are for 90 minutes. Members and their guests may stay and play, as long as courts are available. If the ForeTees Court Reservation has not been used to reserve a court(s), members can still come to play as long as courts are “open”. In which case, the chalk board should be used for court designation and the guest book is used to register your guests. Please include your guests name when signing in.Non-members having taken a lesson are allowed to stay and play tennis without a guest fee, as long as courts are available and with the understanding that they may instantly be “bumped” by a member.
