Tennis Online Booking
Online Booking of Tennis Courts from Mon, Oct 5
From Monday October 5 a Tennis Court Booking calendar will be added to the existing Racquet Sport Booking calendar. You will then be able to make and track your own tennis court bookings on the ACC website.
The new online booking features
- 7-day court tennis court booking calendar on website.
- Make your own court bookings online, or book with ACC staff at the Pro Shop.
- Automated waiting list for occupied court slots.
- Receive confirmations and reminders by email and/or SMS.
- Track your family’s bookings in your personal “Current Bookings” list.
Booking is done via a calendar page.
This is how the Tennis court booking calendar looks on a full-size screen:
On a smaller device such as a mobile phone the calendar looks like this (sample shown here is the Multi-Sport Court calendar):
To book a court click into an available time slot and select the “Main Player” then submit the booking. This is the member of your family who will use the court. The booking system will track player quotas and ensure that bookings comply with quota limits.
More detailed information about making bookings can be found on the Racquet Court Booking Help page.
How Do I Find the Court Booking Calendars?
You can get to the tennis court booking calendars either from the Tennis section of the website, or directly from the main website menu as shown below:
Court Availability Screen Outside the Pro Shop
You may have noticed the addition of a large LCD screen on the wall outside the Pro Shop. This screen is now showing real time court availability for Tennis, Squash and Multi-Sport.
We have provided an iPad Below the large display screen for making bookings. You can of course use any device you wish to make your bookings – computer, tablet or smartphone – or just pop into the Pro Shop as usual and we will be happy to make the booking for you.
If you have any questions about this new court booking feature please just ask at the Racquet Sports Office.
New “Buddy List” Feature
You can only book courts for members of your own family, but if you regularly play with the same other ACC Members you may want them to have the convenience of tracking these bookings too. This is where our new “Buddy List” feature (also being released on September 7) comes in:
- By establishing a “Buddy” connection between yourself and another ACC Member you will see one another’s names as optional additional “Notified Persons” on your racquet court and dining bookings.
- By adding your Buddy as a notified person on your booking he/she will receive notifications and email / SMS reminders about the booking, and see it listed on his/her own “Current Bookings” list.
- Creation of a Buddy connection requires agreement from both Members – one Member sends a request and the other must confirm.
- Adding a Notified Person on a booking is for convenience only – responsibility for the booking remains entirely with the Membership which created and owns the booking.
More detailed information about creating and managing your Buddy Connections can be found on the Buddy List Help page.
You will be able to manage your Buddy List Connections using a new menu item that will be added to the Account Dashboard page.
