Where did the snowbird membership go? We determined it was not feasible to do the snowbird membership anymore, as it was only utilized by a few people, who ended up returning to CFL in the spring. For people who travel in the winter, we suggest using the pay-to-play option or month-to-month option. Please see below.
Tell me more about the month to month option! As a replacement for our snowbird memberships, and by the request of many of our members, a month-to-month/cancel at any time membership is available beginning October 1, 2023. All month-to-month membership will cease as of the end of the season. The month-to-month option is per person only - no couple or family options, and is only available as an unlimited tennis option. There are also no permanent court reservations; players can book as needed. This is only available as a subscription product, meaning that when you sign up, your card will be charged each month on that date for the monthly amount, unless you notify us that you will be discontinuing your membership. You must click on the ‘Cancel My Membership’ tab at the top of this page and fill out the form if you wish to cancel. We must receive your cancelation at least 3 days prior to your card being charged. Fees are $125/month for over 18, $100/month for 18 and under.
How can I reserve a court? We use SKEDDA for court booking. You can click here to go to Skedda and book from there. You are also welcome to call the front desk if you’d prefer: 315-252-9305.
REMINDER: Court times need to be booked at the normal time slots. If you book outside of those time slots, you may not get the full 90 minute reservation you are expecting. For example: you book a court at 9:30 on a Monday morning. The typical court reservation would be from 9 to 10:30. If you book at 9:30, you may be asked to leave at 10:30 when the next normal court time begins. If you have any questions, let us know.
What if I cannot make my reserved court time? Call the CFL front desk at least 24 hours in advance to cancel any permanent court times that you cannot make. After the third no-show without a cancellation, the court is opened to other players and you will lost your permanent time.
Tournaments and Socials: At times throughout the year, CFL will host USTA tournaments and other events, typically on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday. If you have a permanent court time on one of those days, it is possible that your court time will be bumped. We will do our best to notify you well in advance if that is going to be the case.

Can I bring a guest to play in my group? Guests are welcome! There is a fee of $25 per guest, which includes court fees. Guests are allowed 3 visits per season here at CFL. Please make sure your guest signs in at the front desk when they arrive. There is a card each guest will need to fill out the first time they come in, and on each visit after that. If you want to pay their fee ahead of time, please make arrangements to do so ahead of their arrival. After three visits as a guest, folks are asked to purchase a membership if they want to continue playing at CFL.
