Tennis

Our courts have a new surface that offers a near-perfect pace, not too fast and not too slow. Players at all levels love the bounce. Most importantly, because of our very low member/court ratio, there’s no waiting for courts. So you can come and play when you feel like it, and you can expect to stay on until your play is done. There’s no need to reserve a court. Even on weekends, you’ll almost always find a court waiting for you. And we have no guest fees. Bring your friends, and they play for free.

Each fall, we have at least one big club tournament, a Calcutta featuring a cocktail party the evening before and round-robin, team play the following day.

The Priory offers an active lesson program all year long. Our Tennis Pro, Moses Gittens, is certified by the United States Professional Tennis Association and brings years of coaching experience for all levels of play, and all ages. Visit our pros’ website at www.mosestennis.net

Swimming

Our pool and spa are open from May through September, even longer if the warm weather lingers. We have a lifeguard seven days a week from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. during the summer months. There are dressing rooms and showers a few steps from poolside.

Bocce

The Priory has a regulation-size Bocce court with an authentic oyster shell surface. The court sits in the shade under a grove of large oak trees, offering old-world grandeur and charm. The Priory supplies Bocce balls for its members.

Social Activities

The Priory’s original Well House is our kitchen facility. With an adjoining deck, the Well House sits in a magnificent redwood grove and is used for club social events and meetings and can be reserved by members for birthday parties, pool parties, dinner parties, etc. Offering easy access for caterers, our kitchen offers ample room with lots of counter space. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy for you to create a fun, memorable feast in a bucolic setting.

During the summer, we offer a weekly family barbecue. We fire up the coals; you just bring your own food and beverage and then plan to spend a relaxing, fun evening with other members and their families.
