The Rolling Hills Courts Club got its start on May 1961 as a committee to establish a set of rules for use of the only community tennis court.
The Committee became a club in 1973 and was an instant success with 175 members by 1975. Since then it has promoted the sport and worked with both the City and the Association to maintain and improve the community tennis facilities.
From its inception, the Courts Club has been an opportunity for new and old residents to meet and become friends in a relaxed and recreational setting. Members have the opportunity to participate in Club-organized tournaments, weekly Round Robins, an annual exhibition match, Club-organized socials, a holiday party, and a weekend getaway. In 2014, the Courts Club opened it's membership to all Rolling Hills residents and changed it's name to the Rolling Hills Tennis and Social Club.
With the addition of Pickleball becoming popular we have added 4 pickleball courts and are now known as The Rolling Hills Courts Club.
