Bringing Tennis to the Desert

Failure often leads to new opportunities and the beginnings of the Historic Tennis Club have a story that starts with disappointment and ends with glamorous success. Residents first attempted to farm the land the district sits on today in the early 1880’s. When agriculture didn’t yield desired results, the area was transitioned in the name of innovation. For the first time, developers sought to bring the sport of tennis to the desert and in doing so, began to create the space for the game. The result was a luxurious location dedicated to tennis, entertainment and leisure. Popular upon impact, this failed farmland soon became the infamous Tennis Club that residents and visitors flocked to from all over. As restaurants, bistros and hotels popped up alongside the crowds, over time, the area earned its title of esteemed district. Impressively, this title remains today, and visitors are just as enthralled with the Tennis District now as in the golden age of the 1950’s.
