For over 70 years at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, the twang of racquet strings and squeak of tennis shoes on the hard court have been as common as the sound of surf breaking on the shore. A virtual who's who of tennis stars have served and volleyed their way to greatness on its courts since F.W. Kellogg first strung nets and invited guests to play on four newly constructed courts in 1935.



The Club's reputation as a tennis-place-to-go was not long in coming. By 1942, the Club had attracted its first major tournament, the Pacific Coast Men's Doubles Championships, and, by the 1950s, had become a prominent stop on the tournament circuit, playing host to numerous USTA National Hard Court Tennis Championships. In 2006 the Club hosted the Davis Cup First Round Tie between the United States and Romania.



Today, the club still hosts The Pacific Coast Mens Doubles Championships in March along with USTA National Hard Court Championships for the Womens 50-90 age groups in May, and the USTA National Mens' & Womens' 40 & over Hard Courts in December. Also in December is the ever popular USTA National Father & Son Hard Court Championships which attracts an outstanding field of competitors.



In 2010, La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club was designated as one of the "Top 25 Tennis Resorts" by Tennis Resorts Online.
