If you want to play tennis or pickleball at the Reno Tennis Center, you have two simple options: start with a Free Guest Membership or upgrade to a Paid Membership for better booking access and added value.
This is a public facility. Membership here is designed to be clear, flexible, and useful—not complicated or “country club.”
Quick Comparison: Guest vs Paid Membership
| Feature | Free Guest Membership | Paid Membership |
|---|---|---|
| Membership term | No commitment | Annual or Quarterly (same benefits) |
| How you pay | Pay per visit or use discounted guest packages | One annual or quarterly membership fee |
| Online court booking | Yes | Yes |
| Advance booking window | Up to 2 days (when available) | Enhanced booking privileges (shown in CourtReserve) |
| Programs, leagues, events | Yes | Yes (often with member savings) |

| Pro shop perks | Standard | Select discounts + demo access |
| Referral rewards | — | Eligible |
Good to know: Paid memberships can be billed annually or quarterly with the same benefits. If you’re not ready for a full year, quarterly is a low-commitment way to get full member access.
Guest players aren’t locked into paying one visit at a time forever. In addition to standard drop-in access, we offer discounted guest reservation and drop-in packages for players who come more often but don’t need full membership.
Court Booking Rules
- All booking happens in CourtReserve. Courts, programs, leagues, and events are scheduled through the CourtReserve portal/app.
- Guest booking window: Guest Members can reserve courts up to 2 days in advance online (when available).
- Paid Members book earlier. Paid memberships include enhanced reservation privileges; the exact window is shown inside CourtReserve.
- Public-facility reality: Peak times fill first. If you need after-work slots or weekend mornings, paid membership helps most.
Why Become a Member?
1) Better Access
Membership is primarily about access. If you want reliable court times—especially during peak hours—booking privileges make the difference.
2) Flexibility
Start as a Guest. Use discounted packages. Upgrade later. Or choose quarterly instead of annual. You’re never locked into a single path.
3) One Account for Everything
Your CourtReserve account is how you book courts, join leagues, register for clinics, and manage your activity year-round.
Referral Rewards
Refer a friend who joins as a new paid member and you and your friend each receive one free month added to your accounts.
