Rancho Penasquitos Tennis Center

this place is so much fun and great exercise all around. I have been playing tennis here for the last eight years and have no problems with parking are getting a court

I’ve been an active member of this club since 1993… just a few years, haha. In 2009, the club won USTA Outstanding Facility of the year. Membership is a fraction of the price of other places with courts of this caliber. What I pay annually is what other places charge monthly! There are lots of leagues and programs at the club. They have one of the strongest USTA Junior Team Tennis programs in San Diego. For men, there is open play doubles which is like pick-​up games for basketball on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. I’m not that knowledgeable about women’s programs, but I can say there’s more things for women than men. The club is a public facility run by a volunteer board of directors. That’s why the courts are so well maintained. There are three USTA sanctioned tournaments a year. Membership gives one the ability to reserve courts, which is important because the club is very popular at peak times. All 12 courts fill up every weekday evening. The reason I give a 4 instead of 5 is because there is no pro shop and it’s difficult to get reservations at peak times on weeknights because there is so much demand. In summary, great courts with good lights, great people and programs.

It humors me that someone gave this place two stars because it costs money.
I haven’t been to these courts in a long time (~7 years), but if all has stayed the same, it’s amazing! The courts are well-​kept and clean, and all the members are serious tennis players. It’s a no-​frills place, but perfect for training. They had (have?) awesome coaches there too!
Early on, it was easy to make reservations, but as number of members increased, it was definitely harder. There were times when we would drop in and no courts were available.
If I was still in San Diego, I would be there playing every night.

Gorgeous grounds and full of serious players. Yes, it is a membership based court (gates are locked unless you have keys) but worth paying the fees if you are a serious player. If you are not interested in paying dues, there are free courts at Miramar College on the other end of Black Mountain Road.
Not sure why the previous review takes rating stars away for being a fee-​based club? Free courts are everywhere. You get what you pay for. The Miramar College tennis courts down the street are free, and are also crowded, full of rude players who hog the courts and don’t respect rules. I’d rather pay for club membership fees to ensure a pleasant tennis experience, with reserved court times and courteous staff overseeing operations. RPTC also blocks off one court for public use every day. You pay $ 5 per player and can use the beautiful courts for an hour. Five stars all around!

This place is not free to play tennis…
You got to be a member to use their courts.
The courts are nice…
But it’s not free…
2 stars cause of the nice location and the nice courts and parking is good and easy to find…
