TUSTIN HILLS RACQUET CLUB

What TUSTIN HILLS RACQUET CLUB does

Tustin Hills Racquet Club is a privately held, single-site tennis and racquet club incorporated in California and operating under the legal name 'Tustin Hills Racquet Club' (DBA 'Tustin Hills Racquet and Pickleball Club,' previously 'Foothills Tennis & Swimming Club'). Founded in 1958 and headquartered at 11782 Simon Ranch Road in North Tustin, it is one of the longest-standing private racquet clubs in Orange County. The facility comprises eight lighted championship tennis courts, twelve brand-new regulation pickleball courts, a heated swimming pool with jacuzzi, a gym/fitness center with a Pilates trainer, an on-site pro shop, and the Legacy Ballroom — a recently remodeled event venue that accommodates up to 220 guests for weddings and corporate events.

The club generates revenue through a diversified mix centered on subscription-style private membership dues, with adjacent professional-services revenue from tennis and pickleball lessons (individual instructor pricing of $80-$100/hr), tournament entry fees, event venue rentals, and pro-shop sales including racquet stringing ($25-$35 per racket). It serves four overlapping customer segments — tennis players of all levels (instruction, league, USTA tournament play), pickleball players (12 dedicated courts with IPTPA/USPF-certified instruction), event hosts (Legacy Ballroom weddings, bridal/baby showers, corporate events), and swimming/fitness members — using a community-led, referral-and-social-media-driven GTM anchored by Facebook, Instagram, email, and a TeamReach member app. There are no disclosed funding rounds, parent companies, institutional investors, or PE/VC backers.

Operationally, the business runs with approximately 12 employees and a contractor coach base that includes ATP-level and USPF-founder credentials — most notably Tim Pawsat (former ATP World #18 in doubles, Director of Tennis) and Chico Bonner (USPF founder, Director of Pickleball) — alongside named tennis, pickleball, and swim professionals. The club hosts USTA-sanctioned and USPF tournaments, summer day camps, and year-round adult/kids/ladies' clinics, and it was awarded Best Pickleball Court in Orange County for 2024 by the Orange County Register.

Emerging players
