Frequently Asked Questions
Are all bookings to be 90 minutes ?
Almost all of the member’s bookings will be 90 minutes with the following exceptions: weekdays from 3 to 4pm, weekends from 7 to 8am and before or after club programs which aren’t 90 minutes.
Will private lessons be 60 or 90 minutes ?
The answer is both: you can book a 60 minute or 90 minute private lesson. If someone is taking a 60 minute lesson in a 90 minute time slot and they will not use 30 minutes of booked time, they should ask reception to make a note on the booking indicating the hour that will be used.
How do I book a walk-on court ?
Walk-on courts can be booked within 4 hours of the start time (with reception or on gametime).
Why are there ‘Red’ booking times on the gametime court booking screen ?
The red times indicate bookings which occur in Prime Time.
What happens if we don’t show up in time for our booking ?
Fifteen minutes after the start time, the court will be released to players who have stayed on after their booking has finished or any players who are ready to use the court.
