Q: I am a non-member Guardian; how do I book a court for my child?

Log onto your Court Reserve account

Click on Book a Court

Click Reserve on the booking grid, choosing the date/time/court you want.

On the Book a reservation screen, click on the little triangle at the side of the Reserve for box, and select your child's name.

As you are booking for your child from your account, your name would be the default and you need to switch to his/her name, as you have no booking rights since you are not a member. If your child wants to play with another club member, select the reservation type Singles and type the member's name in the Additional Players text box. Complete the rest of the information and press Save.

Q: I am a member; how do I book a court for my child to play with others?

If your child does not have login privileges and you wish to book on his/her behalf, follow the steps below.

Continue the booking as you would do for yourself.

Q: How do I book a court with guests?

Use the Singles with Guest or Doubles with Guest Reservation type, pay the $20 guest fee per person, by credit card when you book.

Rebook using the Reservation type Singles with Guest or Doubles with Guest as appropriate.

Q: What are booking restrictions on guests?

The $20 guest fee in Court Reserve is charged PER person.

Q: What happens to the guest fee if it rains/courts are unplayable? Do I get it back?

If the staff cancels a court due to rain/unplayable conditions, you will receive a full refund of your guest fees.

If you cancel your court ahead of time due to the weather or illness, you will receive a full refund of your guest fees.

If you cancel your court for some other reason, a $2 administrative fee will be taken off the refund to cover transaction and administrative costs.

The refunds are done manually. It may take 2 weeks before the credit shows up on your statement. 

If in doubt about the weather, call the Clubhouse to check, or simply cancel the court yourself (before the booking starts) to assure your refund.

No refunds are given if the guest booking was never cancelled. (Remember bookings should always reflect who's on court. You can edit your court reservations.)

Q: Can I just show up with a guest? Pre-booking Guests vs Drop-in Guests

Members are encouraged to book and pre-pay via credit card for their guests ahead of time to ensure access to a court and pay $20/guest/day. Use the Singles with Guest or Doubles with Guest reservation types to make these bookings.

A member can show up with one or more guests and play if there is availability. Payment of $20 per guest must be paid by Electronic Money Transfer (EMT) sent to treasurer@quintetennis.org  or cash via the guest fee box inside the clubhouse.
