Club Road Work this Saturday 7/26

07/23/2025 by Bob Vietze Leave a Comment

Griffin & Griffin will be regrading and adding material to the road this Saturday. While not ideal, I’m sure everyone along with your cars are happy it is finally being done. Below are suggestions on parking on Saturday. There is a wedding event at the Mad River Barn on Saturday so please no parking there, but we have access to the Pool road for parking at the Barn.

  • Look to carpool to the courts on Saturday.
  • Park at the bottom of Old Mansfield Rd and walk to the club.
  • The Pool road at the Barn is a first in last out parking situation. I’ll send specifics on where it is located before Saturday.

Update on Parking at the Barn

07/08/2025 by Bob Vietze Leave a Comment

Below is info from the manager at the Barn for parking during work.

You are welcome to have a few players park here this week in the back lot, not a problem at all, we just ask that you leave the front spaces open for inn guests who are loading and unloading luggage. We also have a big wedding coming in Friday afternoon so space will be limited then through Sunday morning. It sounds like it should be wrapped up by then but also want to mention that we have a very important luxury auto event on Monday July 14th so there can be NO parking in any lots that day as they have rented the actual parking lots. If for some reason it extends into Monday please kindly have folks park on the pool road.  

Please consider carpooling this week.

Heads Up on entrance to club

07/07/2025 by Bob Vietze Leave a Comment

Griffin & Griffin will begin staging materials for work on the entrance to the club this week. They will put materials on the left side in the field above the shed. Please refrain from parking there until work is complete. I hope to get notification when work will begin if I don’t…please find alternative parking at the base of Old Mansfield Rd or the Mad River Barn. Please do not interrupt the work in progress. It should be no more than a day or two for the work which has been needed for some time.

Thanks for your understanding!

2025 Club Opening Date

05/16/2025 by Bob Vietze Leave a Comment

I’m very happy to announce that weather permitting the club will be available for play this weekend. As of this morning the courts were extremely wet and not suitable for play this is a result of the resurfacing just being finished and the showers yesterday. The weekend forecast is not to promising but we are ahead of schedule opening this year. That being said please be mindful of the soft early season surface if your shoes make an impression please do not play. We will make it a point of emphasis to have the courts closed sign up when conditions are too wet. While on the subject of shoes please wear appropriate tennis shoes (no running shoes please). If you haven’t already, please review the club’s protocols on our website. www.madrivertennis.com

If you have not returned your membership and liability waiver, please do so at your earliest convenience. We have had our operating costs spike the past couple of years due to an increase in the lease, surface material, new posts/nets, lines and labor to set up the playing surface. Our goal is to elevate the playing experience while keeping membership affordable for everyone going forward. A new addition is a shoe brush which will be installed shortly by the shed. If our financials look solid, we hope to add new court benches along with a new table, umbrella and chairs.

Welcome to our new members and welcome back to our returning members!

I hope everyone is looking forward to this season as much as I am!

See you on the courts!
