About Saddle & Cycle Club

It's first class, and I believe private. If you do get an invite, by all means check it out!

Saddle & Cycle Club brings padel to one of Chicago's most prestigious private athletic clubs. Founded in 1895 as a bicycle club on the city's North Side, this historic institution has evolved into a full-service social and recreational destination while maintaining its exclusive membership-only character.

The Courts

The club features 1 indoor padel court, added in 2024 as part of the facility's ongoing commitment to offering members the latest in racquet sports. The indoor setting with approximately 26-foot ceilings ensures year-round play regardless of Chicago's famously variable weather. The court joins an impressive array of athletic facilities that have made Saddle & Cycle a Chicago landmark for over a century.

Programs & Coaching

As a private club, Saddle & Cycle offers its members access to coaching and organized play through the club's athletics department. The addition of padel complements the club's existing racquet sports offerings, which include tennis courts and platform tennis (paddle) courts that have been part of the club since 1975.
