Exciting New Club Software Coming to Gold Key
This February, we’re excited to transition to CourtReserve, a new member platform designed to make your club experience smoother, faster, and more convenient. The move to CourtReserve will take place throughout the month of February, and once complete, members will be able to book courts online anytime, from anywhere—no phone calls, no waiting, no guesswork. You’ll see real-time court availability, manage reservations, and make changes easily from your phone or computer.

Beyond court booking, CourtReserve puts more control in your hands. Members will be able to sign up for clinics, leagues, and events online, receive timely updates and notifications, and keep everything organized in one place. Our goal is to make the transition as seamless as possible while delivering a better, more flexible experience that lets you spend less time on logistics and more time enjoying the club.

Greg Beers Memorial Event
In loving memory of Greg Beers, we will be honoring 10 years since his passing with a special tennis event on Saturday, April 18th. This tribute fundraiser is held in memory of Greg Beers, the father of our tennis pro, Katie Beers, and will raise funds in support of stroke education and research at the University of Iowa. Katie wanted to share this information early to help promote what will be a meaningful and impactful day for our community. In addition to being Katie’s father, Greg was also a regular participating pro in the legendary Gold Key Pro-Am, which ran for over two decades. He was an outstanding professional and incredibly entertaining to watch on court, leaving a lasting impression on players and fans alike.

The event will begin with morning drills at 9:00 a.m., followed by lunch, and continue with afternoon play until 3:00 p.m. Players of all levels are welcome, with a special invitation extended to Try Level players, as Greg loved sharing the game he cherished and truly believed tennis was for everyone. This is an opportunity to come together through tennis to honor a life well lived, support an important cause, and connect as a community. Both players and non-playing supporters are welcome, and children ages 8 and up may register to participate.

Registration is available at the front desk or online using the link below. Registration fees are $50 for adults, $35 for students, $25 for kids ages 8 to 18, and $20 for supporters who would like to join for lunch only without playing tennis. Payment will be collected on the day of the event via Venmo or cash. We hope you will join us for a special day of tennis, remembrance, and community.
