Open house set for Saturday, April 14
Tucked behind the organic gardens of Giardini Trattoria are two brand-new soft tennis courts. These Har-Tru courts are the new home of the Giuseppe Matteo Tennis Club, and memberships are now being offered to the general public.
Joe Laudisio, the owner and a longtime teaching pro, will be joined by another well-known pro, Jim Greene. Together they will offer group and individual lessons, clinics, social events and helping to organize league play.
A free open house for the new club will be held on Saturday, April 14 from 2:30 – 5:30 p.m. Players of all ages and all abilities are welcomed. There will be opportunities to hit with the pros,  plus mini clinics throughout the afternoon. It’s a great opportunity to come and see the club and to get a feel for the courts, said Greene.
“These are really beautiful courts,” Greene said. “They have a wonderfully true bounce and they play extremely well. Plus, the wooded setting and the mountains in the background create a really special atmosphere.”
