Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Vespera Quill, Expert in Local Experiences and Cultural Analysis · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Los Angeles Athletic Club has logged nearly 1,400 Google reviews, but it's worth knowing upfront that it's a full-service private club and hotel with tennis as one amenity among many, not a dedicated tennis facility. Among the tennis clubs in Los Angeles below, review counts run from 67 to 1,393, and the mix includes a public park, a city-run tennis center, and a newer padel club, so match the venue to whether you want a court or a clubhouse.

Short answer: Cheviot Hills Tennis Center holds the highest rating among dedicated tennis venues at 4.9 stars across 67 Google reviews, with both court time and coaching programs. Griffith Park Tennis has 12 courts at $8 to $12 per hour, among the more affordable options. Los Angeles Athletic Club has the most total reviews, but functions as a private club and hotel rather than a tennis-specific venue.

Genuinely dedicated padel facility with a full wellness area attached
Free racket rentals and flexible extra playtime when courts are open
Sauna and cold plunge amenities not found at the tennis-specific venues here
Friendly staff and crowd, per multiple reviewers

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the venue’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many members or visitors have rated it, measured against other Los Angeles venues in this search. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does it cost to play tennis in Los Angeles? (2026)

Griffith Park Tennis publishes hourly court fees directly on Google, giving a useful public benchmark for city-run courts.

Job	Typical price
Court reservation (Griffith Park, per hour)	$8 - $12

Pricing compiled August 2026 from reviewer-reported figures for Griffith Park Tennis’s reservable courts. Private clubs like Cheviot Hills and Los Angeles Athletic Club do not publish flat court fees on their Google listings, so contact them directly for current rates and membership pricing.

What to ask before you book court time

Is the court public, reservation-required, or membership-only?
What’s the hourly rate, and does it change on weekends?
Is coaching or junior programming available alongside court rental?
Are rackets and balls provided, or do you need your own?
Is parking free and convenient, or is it a separate cost?
Are the courts lit for evening play?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these venues?

We started from every venue in Los Angeles matching tennis-related searches with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Is Los Angeles Athletic Club a dedicated tennis facility?

No, it’s a private club and hotel offering multiple sports and amenities, with tennis as one option among basketball, squash, racquetball and more.

Is The Padel Courts the same as a tennis club?

No, padel is a related but distinct racket sport from tennis. If you specifically want a tennis court, look at Griffith Park Tennis or Cheviot Hills Tennis Center instead.

The bottom line

For coaching and junior programs, Cheviot Hills Tennis Center holds the strongest rating among dedicated tennis venues. For affordable, no-frills court time, Griffith Park Tennis is hard to beat at roughly $8 to $12 an hour. Los Angeles Athletic Club is worth considering only if you want the full private-club experience, not just a tennis court.
