This information sheet should provide answers to many common questions that new and prospective members have about Timberhill Tennis Club. If you have additional questions that aren't answered here, please feel free to call Gary Quandt at (541) 753-1043 for more information.
TTC offers a wide variety of social activities. Look on our bulletin board and in the newsletter for announcements about the activities. Some are women’s playdays, holiday events, summer BBQ’s, junior events and many others.
All guests must be signed in on our sign-up sheet. Guests cannot make a reservation; the member must do that. The guest fee is $9 per court. We will put the fee on your bill. There are no limitations on how many guests you may bring per month, but you may not bring any one in-town guest more than once a month. Out of town guests may come as many times as you want with the $9 fee.
Tournaments, USTA Leagues programs, team tennis, and ladders are just some of the competitive programs. We are constantly trying new programs and they are announced in the monthly newsletter.
Call our 24 hour reservation number, 757-2294, to schedule a court time. The reservation service keeps current reservations and will answer any questions regarding court reservations.
Red reservations are limited depending on your type of membership. Family memberships get 4 reds per week, couples 3, and single and junior members 2 reds per week. A week consists of Sunday morning to Saturday night. Red reservations can be made between 48 hours and one week in advance. It takes two reds to reserve a court. Black reservations can be made 48 hours or less and are unlimited in usage. You may only play on one reserved court per day. All players must sign in on our sign-in sheet.
Occasionally you may have a question about your billing statement. If so, please contact Gary at the club immediately. You should receive a statement around the first of the month. The dues are for the upcoming month . Any other charges on your bill are dated on their occurrence. If we do not receive your payment by the 20th of the month, you will be assessed a late fee. After two months of non-payment the club may drop your membership.
Keep your eye on the bulletin board. The monthly newsletter (The Racquet) will announce most events, but the bulletin contains the sign-up sheets. The bulletin board also contains information on league play, USTA leagues, instructional tips, members to play and many other important functions at TTC. If you are waiting for an opponent to arrive it is a good idea to check out all the bulletin boards.
Gary maintains a Pro Shop with a full line of tennis goods. Gary has clothes, shoes, racquets, and repair (stringing, regripping, etc.) and many accessories. Ask about the free racquet demo program so you can try out the latest technology before purchasing.
TTC does not have a dress code. The only dress rule is that no black-soled shoes are allowed on the courts, as they will leave black marks on the court surface. Otherwise just wear comfortable clothes suited to the weather conditions.
Talk to Hunter or Gary about the schedule of the junior development and other junior programs. Hunter offers weekly group and private lessons, overnight camps, and some road trips to other events. All activities are announced in the newsletter.
Our weekly activities such as Men’s nights, Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:45pm, Mixed Doubles on Sunday at 4:00pm and Mondays at 7:45pm are great ways to meet other players without having to make reservations. Just drop by and have a great time. Other social and competitive programs are good places to meet players. We keep a sign on the bulletin for players looking for other players, with skill level and times they are available. Feel free to jot down their names and give them a call. Also contact Gary at the office and he can send you a printout of players of similar skill level.
Reserve court # 1 or 6 and sign "ball machine" when you sign up on your court reservation. It costs $3 per court time to rent the ball machine.
