About Bay Club Ross Valley
Bay Club Ross Valley is a premier fitness and recreation destination located in the heart of southern Marin. This property offers a wide range of amenities, including three pools, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and a variety of engaging activities for all ages. The team running the club is praised for their great service, and the pickleball open play and clinics are particularly popular among members. However, the club's pricing structure has been a point of contention, with membership fees increasing regularly and pricing out some potential members. Additionally, the locker rooms and showers at the Ross Valley location are reported to be in a state of disrepair, which is in contrast to the well-maintained facilities at the Redwood Shores location. Overall, Bay Club Ross Valley provides a comprehensive fitness and recreational experience, but the ongoing maintenance and pricing concerns may be factors for some prospective members to consider.
My Visit to the Bay Club Ross Valley was Excellent;
I found the location to be excellent. Parking was available. The workout area has a stair stepper. Both the Spin Bike and the Stair Stepper were professional and in great condition. All three pools were in great condition. There were plenty of Pickleball courts and Tennis courts with a lounge area to relax after a good workout. The very professional staff made sure my needs were met every step of the way. Including fresh clean water in the lobby Thank you !!
Bay Club Ross Valley is run by a great team, there are three pools, tennis courts, pickleball courts and lots of activities, including a fire pit and area to eat or hang out. The pickle ball open play is a great way to find games and meet people, they also have clinics for all levels, and the courts are well maintained. Love that there is a kid’s pool area and summer camps, and an area for adult swimming which is separate.
We joined a "pod" last year so we could use the lovely pickleball courts in Bay Club Ross Valley. This is when 5 people form a pod to share the monthly membership fee. We each paid $161/ mo. This rate has gone up three times in the last 1.5 years. We now pay $221/ mo. Apparently every 6 months our fee will increase by $20/mo. This fee policy unfortunately prices out a lot of good pickleball players and certainly many younger players. This means Bay Club mostly caters to older, affluent populations who can afford the huge initiation fee, followed by the ever increasing monthly fees. Needless to say we are now looking elsewhere to play pickleball. 6/4/24 Update Interesting because I emailed Ayyub as he suggested (see his response to this post) but not a word from him! Just saying....
