Month-to-Month (monthly subscription, unlimited tennis, per person only)
please see below for more information
All ages: $130 per month
Tell me more about the month to month option! Month to Month memberships are the best option if you know you only need a membership for part of the season, or if you will be gone for the bulk of the winter, but still want to play prior to leaving and maybe when you return. All month-to-month membership will cease as of the end of the May. 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 $130/month.
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. Skedda courts can be reserved up to one week in advance. Please do not schedule courts one after another (like in a three hour block) or for multiple courts at the same time. If you want to reserve multiple courts at the same time, or for more than 90 minutes, please contact the front desk and they will handle those reservations for you. You must be an active member to book your own court on Skedda. Further, you must be present for your court reservation; please do not book a court unless you intend to be there.
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. Remember on the weekends, the court times are slightly different, so please make certain you are booking a 90 minute block and only on the 90 minute time frame, ie., Saturday reservations begin at 8 am and not 9 am, so don’t book a court for 9am, you will only get 30 minutes of court time! 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 have 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. In addition, we do have leagues that play on certain nights (although not every week), so it is possible that your permanent time would be bumped.
When is CFL open for tennis?
The 2025-2026 Tennis Season will begin on September 22 and last through May 31. For gold memberships, the membership is good until August 31, 2026. Summer Tennis registration will open in mid-May for the summer season (June 1 - August 31). Typically, we will extend the summer membership through the beginning of the next season. You can begin playing (if you are not a summer member) immediately upon registering for your season membership. Permanent times do not begin until the beginning of the season, so just be sure to make a Skedda reservation for when you want to play if it is prior to September 22.
September 1 though June 30 (Permanent Court Times Begin 9/22/25 when the season opens and end on 5/31/26 when the season ends)
Monday through Friday: 8:45 am to 9:00 pm (first court reservation is 9:00 am and last court reservation is 7:30 pm). We do have court time available at 7:30, but this is on an as-needed basis and will not be available to book via Skedda.

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. Generally speaking, toward the last few months of the season, we loosen up on the three-visit limit.
Does CFL have a locker room facility? Yes, we have locker rooms with showers available for your use. Should that change, we will notify our members via email, Facebook, and here on our website.
Does CFL offer tennis lessons/clinics? CFL offers a full range of lessons and clinics for all ages and skill levels. Please contact our head tennis pro, Jordan Sadowitz (315-727-6721), for more information and to book any lessons or clinics. Please note, when you take a lesson from Jordan at CFL, you pay CFL. We accept cash, checks, VENMO, and credit cards.
Do I have to be a member to take lessons or attend clinic? No, all lessons and clinics are open to non-members at CFL.
Does CFL close for any reason, either weather or maintenance related events? CFL will close if the weather forces a non-emergency travel ban in Cayuga County. Our Facebook page will also be updated with any information regarding closures due to maintenance and weather. We are trying out a mass-text system this year. When you register for a membership, please confirm that we can text you at the number given.
Can my team practice on the CFL Tennis Courts? Yes, courts are available to rent to area high schools for $60 per court per hour. Please check with Jordan or the front desk to reserve time.
