Tennis & Pickleball

The Monte Sano Club has a tennis court and 2 pickleball courts. The courts have a magnificent bluff view and a separate picnic area on the bluff. The courts are fenced off from the rest of the Club facilities and are accessible via a separate entrance controlled by a combination lock.

The courts can be used by members even during times when the other facilities of the Club are closed — in particular in the spring before the pool opens and in the fall after the pool closes.
