Tennis

Tennis is played on our ten Har-Tru™ courts from late spring until early fall. During the summer months, over 50 tennis programs are offered for men, women and children. These encompass lessons and drills taught by our staff of tennis professionals, one-day and season-long tournaments and leagues, as well as tennis-centered social events. Our courts have hosted such players as Arthur Ashe and Jennifer Capriati through our history of clay court tournament sponsorship, and we currently host one in a series of CDTA/USTA junior tournaments. As the name implies, tennis is taken seriously at the RFTC. However, no matter what your level of play, whether you want to take lessons, play in leagues, or just hit with family and friends – you will find similarly talented players to share a court.

Swimming Pools

The eight lane, 25 yard, stainless steel main pool and zero depth baby pools were installed in 2001 and are open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Three sessions of group swim lessons are offered in the mornings throughout the summer by the pool staff. Private and semi-private lessons are available as well. In addition, a swim team program practices and competes during June and July, with daily afternoon practices and weekly swim meets between the RFTC conference partners. A diving program is also available.

Social Life

A unique aspect of the RFTC that stands out from most clubs is the members enjoyment of social activities. From opening night in mid-May, through mid-October, the Club hosts seven to ten Saturday evening dinners with accompanying entertainment. These evenings might include . . . Heaven on Seven’s Cajun cuisine accompanied by a steel band on the lawn or a Greek buffet served poolside with an á cappella men’s group singing in the background. Wednesday evening grill nights (burgers, chicken and hot dogs – with lots of sides) also feature prominently in the social landscape when a mid-week break for the chef is most appreciated. Holiday family events, scheduled for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day, offer fun and games for the entire family. Special day events are scheduled throughout the summer as well, including such temptations as Ladies Spa Day, Bingo Brunch, and book discussions. We also take delight in entertaining ourselves, showcasing the talent of our young and old in traditional Old Member, New Member and Young Member variety shows. No matter what the occasion, plenty of fun and friendship are central themes to all the events.
