History: Fourteen years ago, Sammy Giammalva purchased the club with a goal of making it a great place for families, seniors and children to enjoy staying healthy and fit by playing tennis. His theme has been, "We PLAY to stay fit and enjoy life." We love our members and recognize that they are our greatest asset. They enjoy the club and keep coming, many of them for over 20 years now. Most come in frequently to play tennis or exercise or swim or just socialize with other members. They love to participate in our charity events and social events. The quality of our tennis programs is well recognized and even nationally ranked. The 10 & Under program is ranked the best in Texas and is one of only two in the nation that the USTA selected to run their pilot youth program. At the other extreme, our seniors are also loyal and play frequently. Some of them are in their 80's but still come to play doubles with the other seniors. Our fastest growing group though is our young families.. Established: 1975. Rated 3.7/5 stars with 10 reviews on Yelp.
