Summer Club
Summer Club at Craigleith
When the snow is gone and the grass is green, Craigleith is the place to be. Our Summer Tennis Club is a great opportunity to stay in shape, have fun in the sun, and socialize with friends in a lush setting overlooking Georgian Bay. We have four excellent Har-Tru courts, located in a beautifully maintained, scenic environment at the base of the V-Hill chair. Plus, there’s also a new outdoor pool that’s perfect for a post-game swim.
Craigleith Ski Club Members are automatically eligible to take part in Summer Club – and we also have a limited number of Annual Memberships for non-Members. For more information, call (705) 445-3847 ext 235 or Toronto Direct (416) 690-7000, or email us at tennis@craigleith.com.
