Practice Courts
I will have 2 or 3 courts set aside all day Saturday and Sunday before the tournament begins for players to walk-on and practice at no charge. If you would like to reserve a court at $20/hr, you can call the front desk at 435-615-5401. Reserved courts may not take up one of the walk-on courts. Reserved courts may be in the main building, or out in the "bubble". Bubble courts are the same surface as the courts where matchplay will take place.

Directions to the Park City Racquet Club
From the airport, follow all signs taking you East on I-80. Usually these will say toward Cheyenne. I-80 will merge with I-15 for a few miles and then break off again. Stay on I-80 as it crosses Salt Lake and then enters Parley's Canyon. You will climb the canyon for about 15 minutes. After the Jeremy Ranch exit, you will need to take the Kimball Junction/Park City exit. At end of exit ramp, turn right and you are now on Hiway 224. Stay on this road for approximately 6 miles. After you have passed a big white barn on your RIGHT, you will want the 2nd stop light. Turn left at the light onto Holiday Ranch Loop Drive. (The Peaks Hotel is right on this corner). Follow Holiday Ranch Loop drive to a stop sign. Turn right onto Little Kate Road. The club is up on your left about 300 yards. Front desk phone number is 435-615-5401. See you soon!
