What's Happening at Mayfair West

August 2023

    • Club Updates

      Mayfair West Platinum Tennis | Waitlisted as of September 15th

      Effective September 15th, 2023, all new Mayfair West Platinum Tennis Memberships, will be moved to a waitlist status.

      Due to the overwhelming popularity and limited availability of our Platinum Tennis memberships, we want to ensure that we continue to provide the best possible experience for our current members. As a result, new Platinum Tennis memberships will be offered through the waitlist only until further notice.

      At this time, we have very limited space remaining for Platinum memberships at Mayfair West. If you have any friends or family who have been considering joining our Mayfair West facility, we encourage you to share this information with them. The opportunity to secure a Platinum membership is NOW, as after September 15th, new interested members will be added to the waitlist.

      We understand that being placed on a waitlist can be disappointing, and to ease this transition, we are pleased to offer an alternative. Those on the waitlist will have the opportunity to upgrade their membership to play tennis at Mayfair Parkway/East until a spot becomes available at Mayfair West. This way, you can continue to enjoy the sport you love while waiting for an opening at our Mayfair West location.

      As another option, new members can always join as a West Bronze Fitness Member until a spot becomes available with our Platinum Tennis membership.

      If you have any questions about this update, please contact our Director of Tennis, Ken Crosina at kcrosina@mayfairclubs.com.
