Recent changes

The club was unique in that it offered courts of all the Grand Slam surfaces: Rebound Ace (Australian Open), red clay (French Open), grass (Wimbledon), and DecoTurf (US Open). The clay courts were the only courts in the United States that were identical to those at Roland Garros. The grass courts were designed and installed under the supervision of David Kimpton of the Queen's Club. There were 46 courts in total, including 10 indoors. Gallery Furniture Stadium had a capacity of 5,240 spectators.

In December 2006, the club management decided to change the fundamentals and become an all-around sports and family club instead of a strictly tennis club. It converted its red clay into swimming pools and more hard courts and added a waterpark. The current facilities include 22 outdoor hard courts and 4 indoor hard courts.[1]
