The monthly dues vary based on the type of membership. The club reserves the right to increase initiation fees and dues at its discretion. The obligation to pay dues is not dependent on the availability of all the club’s facilities. Special events, repairs and/or maintenance of some facilities may make necessary for the club to restrict use of one or more of the facilities or temporarily close the Club and dues are not reduced or suspended during the time when one or more of the facilities are not available.

Once a membership is cancelled, a full initiation fee is required to re-join. The club does not offer any form of “membership freeze”. Members are expected to pay dues year round regardless of club usage. Memberships are non-transferable. Westside Tennis & Fitness is doing business as Club Westside.
Individual Membership
An Individual Membership shall be applicable only to the designated individual. Spouse and children, if applicable, shall not be entitled to the rights and privileges of this membership, except as guests, subject to guest policies. An individual membership is for persons eighteen (18) years and older.
Couple Membership
A Couple Membership shall be applicable to two individuals in a family, either a spouse or a dependent child up to twenty-four (24) years of age.
Family Membership
A Family Membership provides club access to all members of the immediate family, including a spouse and dependent children, living at the same address, up to age twenty-four (24). Upon a dependent child’s twenty-fourth (24th) birthday, they may transfer to an individual membership without an initiation fee and incur individual dues beginning the following month. It is up to the parent or dependent member to notify the club within thirty (30) days of their twenty-fourth (24th) birthday.
Membership Charges and Billing
Club Westside provides membership charge privileges to all members. All dependents are afforded club charge privileges unless notified through club services in writing. We do not accept cash for club services, but do accept member account charges, credit and debit cards. E-cash cards are available through club services allowing for limits on dependents’ club charges. All members are issued membership cards upon enrollment. Membership cards must be presented for any club charges and current photos must be on file. Members are charged a three dollar ($3) fee for replacement membership cards. Statements are processed on a calendar month basis. On the first (1st) of each month, membership dues for the current month are applied, as well as all charges incurred for club services during the previous month. All memberships are required to have automatic payment by EFT (electronic funds transfer) through checking or savings accounts or credit card. If the member chooses to use a credit card, there is an additional seven dollars ($7) fee per month for processing. The full amount of the statement is deducted on the fifteenth (15th) of each month. Members must maintain current status on membership charges to retain membership and enjoy club privileges. Members are required to notify the club of any changes to credit card or checking accounts that may prevent the monthly billing from processing on time. The club charges late fees and return fees for accounts that cannot be processed due to insufficient funds or change of account status.
Cancellation of any Club Westside programs, services and/or court reservations must be made at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance. Failure to do so will result in the full charge being assessed to the membership account.
Members may dispute specific charges for up to thirty (30) days following the bill date. Disputes must be brought to the club accounting department before the tenth (10th) of each month to have the dispute corrected, once verified, on the current EFT draft. Any disputes after the tenth (10th) are adjusted on the membership account to be processed against the next billing cycle.
Code of Conduct
Members must act in a respectful and safe manner at all times while at the club. Slurs, innuendos, racial comments or degrading remarks of club staff or other members may result in termination of club membership. Westside expects all members to partake in alcoholic consumption responsibly. Members acting irresponsibly, improper or disrespectful will or can result in club membership termination. Abuse or vandalism of any kind to club facilities will result in immediate membership cancellation.

Proper attire is required at all times while on club property. Shirt and shoes are required to enter the Clubhouse. Swimsuit attire is allowed poolside only. Tennis attire at Club Westside requires men to wear shirts (no tank tops) and women to have their midriff covered. Tennis shoes are required on all courts.

Guest Policies
Club Westside welcomes you to invite your friends and family to enjoy the club with you. As a private membership club we have established guest policies to ensure fairness to all of our members. The club charges a fee for each individual who visits as a guest of a club member. All guests must present a completed guest pass to enter club grounds. Members must obtain guest passes in advance, and guests must be accompanied by the club member while on premise. All guest passes must be completed with guest information and presented to the guard at the entrance. Guest policies apply to restaurant guests as well. Individuals may only be a guest of the club three (3) times per year. Guests must abide by all club rules and regulations. Out of town relatives and friends staying in the home of a member will be issued a complimentary guest pass for a limited period of time, provided such guest(s)’ primary residence is more than fifty (50) miles from the club.
Guests under the age of ten (10) years old must be supervised by an adult member at all times. Westside does not permit guests to participate in club programs that require charges or fees. Guests are allowed to use club facilities with the member that are available on a complimentary basis. Guests may not participate in group exercise, fitness classes or club programming or events unless passes are provided for the class by the membership department or group exercise directors. Special events for our members throughout the year are excluded events for guests. Guest passes will specify these events.
Members may not bring outside trainers or coaches into the facilities as guests to perform services.
Baby/Kid Care Center
Club Westside offers a complimentary care service for you to leave your child while enjoying the club. Children left in the nursery must be members listed on the parents’ membership. Our center provides a safe environment and staff to watch over the children. With the exception of special circumstances, the nursery is for children ages four (4) weeks to seven (7) years. Children must be checked in and out of the nursery. Please note that this is not a day care center, and we request that members not expect the staff to “bottle-feed” infants, as there are numerous children in the nursery. Children in diapers must have a diaper bag left in the nursery with diapers and wipes. Please do not leave children that are “potty training” in the nursery without a change of clothes or pull-ups. Children may not be left in the nursery unless a parent is on the property at all times. Please do not have children bring their own games or toys to the nursery. Small snacks that are peanut-free may be put in the child’s bag. No prepared food is allowed from home or other outside food establishments due to health code policies.
Nannies
Dependents may be accompanied at the club by a nanny. The nanny must be registered through the Membership office and may supervise the dependent(s) while on club premises, but may not participate in any programs or personal usage of the facilities. Nanny membership access cards must be renewed every six months with the Membership Department.
Food & Beverage
Our club restaurants are for membership enjoyment. Due to food and beverage health regulations, no outside food, beverage or coolers are allowed onto the club grounds. Alcoholic beverages are served to members and guests age twenty-one (21) years and older.

In accordance with TABC regulations, no alcoholic beverage may be taken off of the club premises and no alcoholic beverages may be brought into the club facility for consumption. If a member or their guest brings alcoholic beverages onto the club property it will result in membership termination.
Tennis
The sport of tennis is traditional in many respects and there are certain standards of etiquette that Westside chooses to maintain. Players and spectators are expected to maintain low voices and no shouting out of courtesy for other nearby players. If practicing or teaching young children, parents are asked to use courts that are not adjacent to other players whenever possible to avoid balls rolling onto neighboring courts and disrupting play. A complete set of tennis rules and code of conduct for play is available at www.usta.com.
