Cincinnati Open Sporting Club

Cincinnati Open Sporting Club is a year-round racquet and lifestyle destination at 6100 Sport Center Complex Drive, Mason, OH 45040, anchoring the Lindner Family Tennis Center campus. It opened on 16 March 2026 as the centerpiece of a $260 million campus transformation off Interstate 71 in Warren County.

The campus hosts the ATP and WTA Cincinnati Open each summer, about 25 miles north of downtown Cincinnati. Cincinnati Open Sporting Club padel sits inside a 56,000 square foot clubhouse alongside tennis, pickleball, dining, and event spaces.

The facility brings padel to the same campus that hosts one of tennis’ biggest hard court events. Chief Operating Officer Jansen Dell describes the club as a community hub built around hospitality, racquet sports, and golf, with padel positioned as the headline new addition for 2026.

The padel courts

Cincinnati Open Sporting Club has two padel courts, billed as the first in Ohio and laid out near the new clubhouse. The playing surface is synthetic turf, part of more than 72,000 square feet of artificial grass installed across the Lindner Family Tennis Center grounds during the 2025 build.

Courts are enclosed in standard glass and mesh and lit for evening sessions, so play continues from early morning through to the 10pm close. The two-court footprint keeps the venue intimate, which suits a programme built around structured clinics, demos, and supervised social sessions.

Players coming from tennis or pickleball will recognize the same Cincinnati Tennis Foundation operational standards applied to surfaces, netting, and court-side lighting across the sporting club site, with paddles and balls available to rent at the pro shop for visitors who do not own kit yet.

Booking and access

Bookings are handled through the club’s PlayByPoint portal at cincytennis.playbypoint.com. Members can reserve courts up to seven days in advance and access live availability through the same system used for tennis and pickleball. Non-member walk-on play is available subject to court availability.

Non-member court rental runs $40 per person per hour at prime time and $30 per person per hour at off-peak, with paddle and ball rental at $10 per booking. Equipment rental is complimentary for members. Standard 90-minute slots cost roughly $60 per person off-peak ($240 per court).

Padel-only individual membership is $550 a year, the Sporting Club combo (tennis, pickleball, and padel) is $1,485, and the Young Professional rate for players under 25 is $1,336. Membership inquiries go to memberships@cincytennis.com, and parking is free across the campus lots.

Opening hours are 7am to 10pm seven days a week. The venue’s standard cancellation window mirrors the wider club rules, so players should review the latest terms inside PlayByPoint when reserving.

Padel programme and social

The club runs a free Try Padel Cincy clinic for members and non-members, designed as a first-touch session that covers the wall, the serve, and basic doubles positioning. Cincinnati Tennis Foundation certified coaches lead the programme alongside the wider racquet sports calendar.

Beyond the intro clinic, the venue hosts leagues, themed mix-ins, and match-play evenings throughout the year. The clubhouse adds a full-service restaurant, a members’ bar, locker rooms with showers, free WiFi, and a pro shop with a 20% member discount at retail partner Midwest Racquet Sports.

Best for

Cincinnati Open Sporting Club is the natural home for padel in greater Cincinnati and southwest Ohio. It suits tennis and pickleball members adding padel as a third racquet sport, beginners starting through the free Try Padel Cincy clinic, and visiting players keen to play on the Cincinnati Open campus.

It is less ideal for high-volume drop-in players or competitive circuits needing multiple courts running at once, since the venue only has two. For an introduction to the sport on a championship-standard campus, however, this is the only padel offering of its kind in Ohio.

Padel coaching at Cincinnati Open Sporting Club is delivered by Cincinnati Tennis Foundation certified coaches, with a free Try Padel Cincy intro clinic plus private lessons, group sessions, and league play.
