'Tis March, famous for St. Paddy's Day, so sure 'n' begorrah, we found the "Pot of Gold" at the end of the rainbow at the Outlaw court complex.  Our lovely Pavilion will return AND with it, restrooms.  Plans have been approved by the Board of Directors and in the budget for 2023!  Let's dance a jig!

February 2023

Love – A term used in tennis instead of the word ‘nil’ or ‘zero.’

Ah, February, the month of Love.  In between February's famous mountain snows, Alto Lakes tennis players love to hit the Outlaw courts. Either start in the morning when the air is brisk and fleecy warm-ups keep your muscles warm, or choose the afternoon and shed layers as play heats the courts. Although courts are unlikely to be full, reserve on Foretees to assure a usage count (visit altolakesgolf.com>Members>Foretees>Courts>Reservations>dropdown menu Make or Change Reservations). It's easy.
