Cheverly Swim and Racquet Club

Cheverly Swim and Racquet Club. Four red clay courts among the finest on the east coast, plus two Har-Tru courts, all set on five tree-lined acres just outside the city. No lights means you're playing in daylight, which keeps things authentic, though you'll need to plan around sunset. It's a tight-knit member community where getting in takes patience (the waitlist runs long), but once you're in, you've found a place people stick with for decades.
