If you're not into joining a country club, you still have plenty of options in terms of tennis clubs in Cincinnati. The one I've been to most often is the Cincinnati Tennis Club (CTC). Though I'm not a member, I went a few times for school events or lessons with friends. They have a full clubhouse and ten outdoor clay courts, as well as a pretty extensive offering of classes and clinics for both children and adults. All of these are run by tennis professionals. CTC is open from mid-April through mid-October, sunrise to sunset. For membership rates and fees, check this page on their website:
