Tennis At The Barn builds a social racquet hub in Westhampton

If your Hamptons tennis plan has to fit around beach time, dinners and a short weekend window, Tennis At The Barn is set up for exactly that. The Westhampton club’s public calendar mixes an Adult Summer Tennis Camp at 9:00 AM, a PickleBall Social Round Robin at 9:30 AM, a Junior Pickleball Summer Camp at 2:00 PM and an instructional block at 4:30 PM. That is a useful signal in a summer market where the best racquet options are the ones you can actually plug into without rearranging the whole day.

A club built for easy entry

Tennis At The Barn describes itself as a Tennis & Pickleball Club in Westhampton, NY, and its pitch is broader than a traditional tennis-only setup. The new ownership group says it has been in the community for many years and decided to refresh “a dated older facility that had lost its excitement” in order to create “a new family oriented racket sport facility for the Westhampton area.” That framing matters because the calendar is built around mixed ages, mixed skill levels and mixed goals, not just high-level match play.

The club also says it wants to make “Tennis at the Barn” your “home away from home” for racquet sport fun and games. That is not just marketing language when you look at the formats it emphasizes. Adult instruction, junior camp, pickleball socials and supervised open play all point toward the same thing: a place where people can arrive as individuals or families and still find an on-ramp.

The schedule favors short-format summer play

The public events page is the clearest evidence of how the club is organizing its summer. An adult camp session at 9:00 AM, a social round robin at 9:30 AM, a junior camp at 2:00 PM and an instructional block at 4:30 PM create multiple ways in, whether you want to drill, compete lightly or just meet other players. The round-robin format is especially useful for the Hamptons, where familiarity is often built fast and in fragments, not through long league commitments.

A separate event listing stretches Adult Summer Tennis Camp from June 25, 2026 through August 21, 2026, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM. That longer run shows the camp-and-social model is not a one-day novelty. It is part of the club’s seasonal rhythm, which makes it easier for people moving between houses, weekends and vacation stretches to find something repeatable.

What adult players actually get

For adult tennis players, the club says it offers two daily playing and instructional clinics for men and women of all levels. Midweek sessions run from 9:00 to 10:30 AM and 10:30 AM to noon, while weekend clinics are listed from 10:00 to 11:30 AM and 3:30 to 5:00 PM. That spread is practical, because it gives early risers, midday players and late-afternoon crowd-avoiders a slot that fits the rest of the day.

Adult camps run Monday through Friday from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, and private or semi-private lessons are available by appointment. If you are in town for a few days and want more than a hit-and-run clinic, that combination lets you choose how deep to go. You can keep it casual with a clinic or commit to a more structured block without needing a full-season tennis life.

Pickleball is not an afterthought here

The pickleball side of the programming looks designed for the same social crowd that has helped racquet sports spread across the Hamptons. The club says it is introducing clinics for beginners to intermediate players, organized open play and micro leagues at a variety of levels. Open play is supervised to help ensure players are able to play at their level, which is exactly the kind of detail that keeps newer players from feeling lost in the wrong group.

The format is also deliberately social. The club describes the open play as fun, socially competitive round robin formats, with games won contributing to an ongoing pickleball ladder. That is the sort of structure that keeps players coming back, because it gives a casual session some stakes without turning the afternoon into a full league obligation. Listing pickleball next to tennis on the calendar tells you the club is chasing the same audience for both sports, especially adults and families who want energy, access and a built-in conversation after the last game.

How membership and drop-in access work

Season 6 runs from April 15 to October 15, 2026, and the club says members and non-members are welcome seven days a week from 8 a.m. till dusk. For anyone trying to plan around a weekend in Westhampton or Westhampton Beach, that matters more than a glossy club brochure does. The access window is broad enough for morning sessions before the beach, late-morning clinics, and an afternoon hit after lunch.

The pricing is straightforward:

• Tennis memberships: $1,250 for an individual, $1,550 for a family membership that includes two children under 18, and $750 for a weekend membership.
• Pickleball memberships: $850 for an individual and $1,250 for a family membership.

Non-members pay a court fee to play social tennis or pickleball and also pay a court fee for any programs joined at the time of booking. Members pay no court fees, and the club says there are no refunds for any reason. Applications are being accepted for 2026 memberships and children’s camp programs, which keeps the door open for both regulars and families still deciding how much time they want to spend on court.

Why this works for the Hamptons summer crowd

The big takeaway is not that Tennis At The Barn has a busy calendar. Plenty of places have that. The useful part is that the calendar is built around short, social, easy-to-join formats that match how people actually use the Hamptons in summer: fit in exercise, meet a few people, bring the kids to something structured, then move on with the day. A social round robin at 9:30 AM and a junior camp at 2:00 PM are not just events on a page. They are entry points.

That is why the club reads less like a private facility guarding its turf and more like a racquet hub trying to make Westhampton easier to inhabit for a weekend, a season or a whole summer.
