St Patricks Doubles Mixer
Celebrate St Patricks Day with us on Tuesday, March 17 as we turn our regular Tuesday night Men’s League into a festive evening of Mix and Split doubles beginning at 7 PM. This rotating format keeps the action lively, giving players the opportunity to team up with different partners throughout the night while still enjoying plenty of friendly competition. Members can join at no cost, and guests are welcome for 24 dollars per person. We will also be featuring 1 dollar off drinks and 2 dollars off food to keep the celebration going on and off the court. Be sure to register ahead of time and plan to wear your green for a great night at the club.

 

Updates on New Club Software Coming to Gold Key
Our transition to new club management software is officially underway, and March will mark the full move to the new system. Once the switch is complete, members will have the ability to reserve courts online anytime from their phone or computer, with access to real time availability and easy reservation management. A dedicated club app will allow you to manage bookings, review your account, and make updates conveniently in one place. Please note that credit card information from the current platform will not transfer, so members will need to re enter their payment details once the new system is live. CourtReserve will also allow members to register for clinics, leagues, and events online while receiving timely notifications and updates. Our focus is to make this transition smooth while providing a more streamlined and flexible experience for everyone.

 

Greg Beers Memorial Event
This year marks 10 years since the passing of Greg Beers, and on Saturday, April 18 we will gather to honor his memory with a special tennis fundraiser benefiting stroke education and research at the University of Iowa. Greg, father of our tennis professional Katie Beers, was also a longtime pro in the historic Gold Key Pro Am and left a lasting impact on our tennis community with his skill, professionalism, and love of the game. The day will begin with morning drills at 9 AM, followed by lunch and afternoon play continuing until 3 PM. Players of all levels are encouraged to participate, with a special welcome to Try Level players, as Greg truly believed tennis was a sport for everyone. Registration is available at the front desk or online. Fees are 50 dollars for adults, 35 dollars for students, 25 dollars for juniors ages 8 to 18, and 20 dollars for supporters who wish to attend lunch only. Payment will be collected the day of the event via Venmo or cash. We hope you will join us for a meaningful day of tennis, remembrance, and community connection.
