I am a former member and was looking to get back into tennis. I have very fond memories of my time at Midtown before the renovation. I almost rejoined online and decided to get a tour just to make sure it still was a great place. The front desk was surprised to see me and then a membership person finally came and called me the wrong name. They looked at me and said “oh did you not get our prices before you came?” They also made some snarky comments about how since I was a nurse I could easily find a doctor to write me a note to get the membership cancelled if it was too expensive. Mind you this is like within 5 minutes of meeting and was extremely off putting. The tour was very quick and this membership person made it clear they hadn’t anticipated my arrival and were in a hurry to do other things. Throughout the brief tour they kept framing the clubs features as things I couldn’t use since I’m a travel nurse. I know I’m not the only person who travels for work or is in the medical field at that club. Strange. Unsurprisingly, I decided not to rejoin even tho I had fully planned on it. The membership person provided me very limited info on tennis offerings. When I joined the first time around I left my very charming club tour with a plan to join classes, private lessons, and a few tennis social groups. Apparently, that’s not an option anymore. I’m sad the midtown of past is gone, as there is not many other places to play tennis in the city. I guess I’ll just spend more time with my horses! I will say the club was very pretty and I can see why others like it.

The best full service athletic club and hotel in Chicago.

Beautiful facility. Kept very clean and everything works the way it is supposed to. It would be 5 stars but the amount of children crawling around this place is frustrating at times.

If I could leave a zero I would. Extremely rude, unprofessional people. Will never get another penny of my money.

Questions & Answers

What does it cost to get a membership at the moment?

Sue Cunningham kerr | Oct 18, 2019

Overpriced! Best price for Individual Member is currently $240. Not worth it if you just use the gym to workout. They should have a variety of options.

Is adult swim going to return? The adult swim schedule is posted on the website, but every time we’ve gone for adult swim, the children are still present and it’s overcrowded.

I hope so! It’s like hurricane harbor there!

Do you have ladies tennis teams that compete in USTA? What levels? Do you have in house tennis leagues?

Judy Stevens | Oct 17, 2020

Tennis leagues covering just about any age and ability level. Midtown fails to meet the needs of their guests in other areas, just not tennis.

With the outdoor pool open, why doesn’t the club provide sunscreen, even if for purchase? I was told to go to Walgreens when I asked if any was available.

Allie Beck | Oct 18, 2018
Dawn Taylor | Oct 18, 2019

I purchased it in the shop on the main level. It costs an arm and a leg, but it’s there!

When dose the outdoor pool open?
