The best local tennis courts in Monterey Bay, California
Tennis is not only a challenging sport, it is a wonderful way to gain a sense of accomplishment, especially if your resolutions include getting healthier or losing weight. As the seasons begin to get warmer, this outdoor sport is an excellent way to get in shape. Best of all, it can easily be brought indoors to a local health club. Monterey Bay, California, is a rare location that boasts a temperate climate year round, so whether it’s January or July, one can enjoy tennis anytime of year!
1. Chamisol Tennis and Fitness Club
Located in Corral De Tierra, California, this tennis court tops my list because of its stunningly beautiful layout and superior service. Members enjoy quite a bit of luxury including private lessons for almost any age group, special events including quarterly championships, and personal trainers. The club includes 13 tennis courts, some even lighted for after dark play. Best of all, if you are in need of a team the staff can help evaluate your skill and find potential matches for your team.
Their normal hours are 6:00 am – 9:00pm everyday. Since the memberships are highly customizable, potential applicants must contact the club directly at 831-484-1135. Currently they have referral specials, so if you know someone who already attends this club, you might be able to snag a special deal!

2. Meadowbrook Swim and Tennis Club
Located in beautiful Seaside, California this club offers a central location with a variety of activities and events for all age and skill levels. Activities include Private and group lessons, Club and Mixer tournaments, and activities for kids and seniors. I like this club because it is local to several other areas in Monterey Bay. That means I can get around town with ease and still maintain my busy schedule.
Their normal hours are 7:00 am – 9:00 pm Monday through Friday with weekend hours of 7:00 am – 8:30 pm. Potential members are encouraged to contact the club at 831-394-6629 for an official tour and list of fees.

3. Mission Ranch Tennis and Fitness
Located in Carmel, California, I like this club because it is just absolutely beautiful. This club is a little smaller, with 6 tennis courts, but benefits of this club are that hotel guests can enjoy tennis along with regular members, so you don’t need a membership if you are only visiting Monterey Bay. A couple can enjoy a day of tennis for $20 if they are guests of the hotel and resort. They do offer private lessons along with equipment rentals for those who hadn’t planned on playing tennis during their vacation!
The fees vary quite a bit, but include an initiation fee that ranges from $250 – $500 and monthly dues that range from $60 – $100. There is a fitness club on the resort as well, and these fees are separate, and range from $40 – $55 and include separate initiation fees that range from $75m – $140. There operating hours are from 7:00 am – 8:00 pm Monday through Friday and 7:00 am – 7:00 pm on weekends. The club can be contacted at 831-624-9536.
