Lisa & Douglas Goldman Tennis Center

The Lisa and Douglas Goldman Tennis Center in Golden Gate Park is a great experience for anyone who loves the sport. The recent renovations are truly outstanding, featuring beautifully maintained courts that play really well every time. This facility offers a welcoming atmosphere for players of all skill levels from beginners taking their first lesson to higher level club players. The staff is exceptionally friendly and the pro shop is fully stocked with quality gear. Furthermore, the location within the park makes it a very beautiful area to play, making it more than just a place to play, but a wonderful experience. Great spot for tennis.

What a joke. They cancel classes claiming “weather reasons” when the sun is shining just fine — it’s nothing more than a scam to keep your money and trap you with useless credits. Instead of issuing a refund like any decent business, they hide behind their shady little policy. The so-called lessons? Weak and watered down. The teachers are mediocre at best, clearly set up so you never actually improve and keep paying for more. It’s not a program to teach you, it’s a hamster wheel designed to milk your wallet. And don’t get me started on the staff. Jerry at the front desk is as rude and dismissive as every other review says — it’s almost like being condescending is part of his job description. Bottom line: fake “weather” excuses, scammy credit policy, mediocre instruction, and rude staff. Save yourself the frustration and take your money literally anywhere else

My favorite place to play in San Francisco. I have taken 8-9 classes there over 2 years. Great instructors. Beautiful setting. Perfect courts. My only gripe would be that I would they would invest in dryers for the courts. Some might have dew from the night before and sit in shade so it takes hours for the dew to dry and they cancel reservations instead of getting a dryer and putting it out there.

I play here at least 1-2 times per week and am also enrolled in a 9 month program that costs $2200…for the third year in a row. And the high school kid working the front desk just yelled at me for asking if he could move my court reservation from one court to another lol This is not a tennis club. Customer service does not exist here.

The courts are fantastic and there are lights so playing well into the evening is a viable option. The ability to reserve a court is also great, so there is no need to wait.
