Camilo Fita· 7 months agoamazing family atmosphere! great for family of all ages, and amazing coaching stuff that care about helping you elevate your game!. Great summer option for kids needing flexibility and outdoor exercise ...the antidote for video games!!!
Paul Wesson· 7 months agoDB is a great club; the atmosphere is wonderful and they do really good job of supporting members from beginners to advanced players. There's lots of opportunities to get involved with social tennis, leagues, and clinics.
Mary Butterworth· 7 months agoDB is like a second home for my family. We’re there all the time—between the social events, pool, gym, indoor racquetball courts, hitting wall, and the incredible pros and clinics, there’s always great tennis to play and something fun going on. The owners and members are the kind of people you’re happy to see every day. We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
Ed Kellerman· 7 months agoDB racquet club is the best in town. Great instructors, plenty of clay courts, lots of men and women to play with, and cool vibe.
Charles Sinclair· 7 months agoCustomers beware! You might want to avoid DB Racquet Club if Tracy/Tracey is on duty. Either way, she has a terrible attitude and has been constantly hostile towards me and other players. Every time I play, she is yelling at someone or saying something nasty, making me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I remember one time my friend and I came in on a Sunday to hit. Before we started, he wanted to pay his monthly membership fee in the pro shop, but no one was to be found. He decided he would pay the fee after we wrapped our session up. 30 minutes into hitting, Tracy came around and started aggressively interrogating us, "Are you guys members? Have you paid your fees?" My friend tried to explain that no one was in the office, but she gave him a nasty stare and told him to immediately pay or leave. We left then and there. This isn't the only time she's made me or people I know uncomfortable. She has touched/stroked my friend's daughter's hair without permission, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. I could go on. Tracy seriously needs some customer satisfaction/basic human decency training.
