Bay Club Ross Valley is run by a great team, there are three pools, tennis courts, pickleball courts and lots of activities, including a fire pit and area to eat or hang out. The pickle ball open play is a great way to find games and meet people, they also have clinics for all levels, and the courts are well maintained. Love that there is a kid’s pool area and summer camps, and an area for adult swimming which is separate.

We joined a "pod" last year so we could use the lovely pickleball courts in Bay Club Ross Valley. This is when 5 people form a pod to share the monthly membership fee. We each paid $161/ mo. This rate has gone up three times in the last 1.5 years. We now pay $221/ mo. Apparently every 6 months our fee will increase by $20/mo. This fee policy unfortunately prices out a lot of good pickleball players and certainly many younger players. This means Bay Club mostly caters to older, affluent populations who can afford the huge initiation fee, followed by the ever increasing monthly fees. Needless to say we are now looking elsewhere to play pickleball. 6/4/24 Update... read full review

Writing this review as I sit at the Bay club redwood shores. While the pool and staff are great at the Ross Valley location, the locker room and the lockers themselves are in a state of disrepair and it's been close to a year since several lockers where broken into and no repair in sight. The showers don't function either indoor or outdoor. In comparison redwood shores is gorgeous.
