Tennis & Pickleball News
February is here. As always, we have a lot planned for you. I would like to invite all of our tennis members to consider joining teams for the upcoming USTA Spring season. After last year’s team play, we expect to field teams in all USTA levels for both men and women. Some of our players are being recruited by other squads so we need to start getting commitments now. If you are available to play and want to have fun being part of the team, then give us a call and we will find a team for you. We are here to serve you, and want to make your experience at Hidden Trails Country Club a positive one. Thank you for doing your part to maintain a friendly, respectful atmosphere at our Club.
