Cincinnati Open Sporting Club
About Cincinnati Open Sporting Club
Few places in America let you play padel steps from where the world's best tennis players compete. The Cincinnati Open Sporting Club — formerly the Lindner Family Tennis Center — opened to the public on March 16, 2026, after a $260 million campus transformation in partnership with the City of Mason, Warren County and the State of Ohio. The home of the ATP/WTA Cincinnati Open is now a year-round club for tennis, pickleball and padel, with what the club calls the first padel courts in Ohio.
The Courts
The club has two outdoor padel courts with green artificial turf, glass back walls and steel mesh sides, lit by curved LED light poles for evening play. They sit along a landscaped walkway with lounge seating, next to the clubhouse lawn and terrace, and are available daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Around them, the 40-acre campus has 31 outdoor tennis courts, six indoor tennis courts in a 53,000 sq ft indoor tennis center, and six outdoor pickleball courts.
Programs & Coaching
Racquet sports programming is run by the Cincinnati Tennis Foundation. Newcomers can start with Try Padel beginner clinics for adults 18 and up, including a free "Try Padel Cincy" session. From there, the Padel Social League runs six weeks of Friday-evening match play (6:30–8:30 p.m.) for $100 per player or $25 as a drop-in.
The Experience
The 56,000 sq ft clubhouse is open to members and the public, with the Restaurant at the Sporting Club (lunch and dinner in the dining room, on the patio or on the second-level Terrace), a Midwest Racquet Sports pro shop, locker rooms, and event space for meetings and weddings.
Excellent racquet sports venue. The newly renovated Cincinnati Open tennis venue has been wonderfully updated with addition tennis courts, additional smaller stadium court, 6 indoor tennis courts, 6 outdoor pickleball courts, lots (20+?) outdoor tennis courts, 2 pádel courts, locker rooms, pro shop, stringer, restaurants and bars.

What Players Say
Beware - restaurant is not always open during published operating hours. I made a reservation for a business lunch for yesterday, September 9, with an out of town associate who was visiting the area. I was looking forward to showing him the new restaurant. I received multiple texts from Toast, confirming and reminding me of my reservation. When I arrived for my lunch meeting, I was informed by the golf shop attendant that the restaurant was not open! This was extremely disappointing, to say the least, and frankly, embarrassing. If you’re considering dining here, I would recommend calling first to make sure they’re actually open so you don’t waste your time.
Great facility to watch tennis.
I realize the weather has been very bad but the tournament this year is very poorly run. Also, they strongly encourage you to use the Cincy Open app but all the information and updates you need are not available on the app.
