The Palo Alto Tennis Club (PATC) is a public organization devoted to the promotion of tennis in the Palo Alto, CA area. We have over 500 members who live in this city and the surrounding communities. Unlike private clubs, we are not based in an athletic facility. Our activities are organized by our members on a volunteer basis, and they take place on public courts.

In addition to tournaments, social events, and charity events, we also offer access to a social play directory and a ladder system for men and women in singles, doubles, and mixed formats. Our members also have the opportunity to compete against players from around the Bay Area by joining USTA League teams sponsored by the club. Lastly, PATC occasionally competes against other local clubs in interclub team matches.

Members receive Net Notes, a monthly newsletter sent via postal mail that contains news, updates, and entry forms for upcoming activities. There is now an option for accessing the newsletter online.

Membership is open to anyone, although the number of non-Palo Alto resident members may not exceed the number of resident members. Non-residents who apply for membership should expect to be placed on a waiting list.

As a public club, we do not maintain a paid staff. Please, no job inquiries. Volunteers to help us run our monthly activities are always welcomed.
