Southampton Racquet Club unveils 2026 season with clinics and mixers

Southampton Racquet Club opened its 2026 season on seven Har-Tru courts at 665 Majors Path, and the pitch is as practical as ever: organized coaching, a busy social calendar and a membership structure built for players who want their summer tennis sorted before the Hamptons calendar fills up. The club’s season ran from Friday, May 15 through Monday, October 12, with the pro shop carrying Head apparel and racquets and the phone line, 631-488-4700, listed for players who still like to plan the old-fashioned way.

The biggest news for regulars is not a reinvention but a well-honed formula. Southampton Racquet Club continued under the Cliff Drysdale Tennis banner with private lessons, clinics and game arranging at the center of the operation. The clinic schedule remained broad enough to cover different kinds of players, with morning, afternoon and evening clinics, weekend clinics, Tennis 101, pro-led round robins, themed mixers and Grand Slam-themed tournaments all on the board. That is the kind of calendar that works for a player who wants structure, not just a court reservation.

Membership stayed pitched at households that want a full season, not a scramble for scattered bookings. The 2026 membership tiers were Individual, Couple and Family, and the listed benefits included three guest court passes per month per member, a complimentary clinic each month, a racquet stringing credit, discounts on lessons and clinics, and game arranging during prime-time morning hours. Members were also enrolled in the EXPERIENCE Membership Rewards program, which brought reciprocal benefits at Cliff Drysdale Tennis clubs nationwide, along with discounts on tennis vacation packages and retreats and regular travel content.

The rate sheet kept the pricing side transparent for anyone comparing value against other Hamptons options. Adult instruction was listed at $96 for a half-hour private lesson and $160 for a one-hour private lesson, with separate club-member, camp-member and non-member pricing for clinics and youth tennis programming during camp season. For players with kids in the mix, that matters almost as much as court quality.

The social side of the club looked familiar too. The 2026 special events calendar included a Memorial Day Tennis Mixer and a French Open-themed round robin tournament, the sort of events that turn a seasonal club into a genuine tennis scene rather than a quiet facility with a nice address. Southampton Racquet Club still feels built for players who want their summer tennis on rails, from the first lesson to the last mixer.
