3 CLAY COURTS OPEN FOR SEASON WITH COVID-19 GUIDELINES
Dear Members:
We know you've been itching to play some spring tennis and the time for that has arrived at PLTC!
In accordance with state, county, and township policy, the Packanack Lake Tennis Club's 2020 season is underway. We have the two beautiful hard courts available, and 3 of our red clay courts are now open.
PLAYERS WITH PAID-UP 2020 MEMBERSHIPS HAVE LOG-INS REQUIRED TO RESERVE COURTS FOR PLAY--
SO SCROLL DOWN AND SIGN-UP NOW!
Strict social distancing and USTA Covid-19 safety guidelines must be observed.
See our COVID-19 Safety page for the details.
And as you renew your membership, or perhaps join us as a new member, we thought we might take this opportunity to remind you of the many improvements to the club that have been made over the past few years:
- First and foremost, two beautiful new hard courts, the Sylvia Baker Memorial Courts, to get us through the remnants of the rainy season and those inevitable rain days to follow (remember: one-hour time limit if people are waiting, and only paid-up 2020 members may play).
- Close second, re-surfacing of the far courts to replace the old post-Hurricane-Floyd sandy clay with new, top-flight clay, and improved drainage on all the clay courts.
- Webcam feature to allow members to check remotely on whether the clay courts are open.
- Ball machine for use by all members (housed in the shed on the Sylvia Baker Memorial Courts).
- New golf cart and roller brush combination to reduce the time it takes to get the courts up and playable after a rain, and reduce the noise factor involved.
- Vastly improved website to keep members informed of club events and enhance our club profile (tell your friends!).
- New online court reservation system
More improvements are to come, starting with additional clay for the near courts and a clubhouse make-over (once the clubhouse is allowed to open), but we must be honest to say the time-line for those improvements is up in the air at the moment, as we wait to see how long it takes us – the community as a whole, and even the country – to come out of and recover from this pandemic.
We plan to have our other set of 3 clay courts up and running in a matter of days. Your membership dues will help pay the cost of readying those. Therefore-- we call upon all members to show their support by signing up now and paying your dues early. Help us grow by tapping into our under-utilized “sign up a new member / get $50 off your dues for next year” program. As you will see, in consultation with and at the behest of the Board of Governors, we have implemented a modest dues increase this year, commensurate with the improvements we have made to the Club’s physical plant and to help raise the funds needed to make the additional improvements we hope to make – and, overall, to place the Club on a sounder financial footing. We hope you will agree that, on a comparative scale, we remain the best clay-court bargain in the Northeast (go ahead: do a little comparison shopping!). Just make sure to sign up! NOW, PLEASE – we need the funds and we need the show of support!

SEE YOU ON THE COURTS!
