About Us
The Cottonwood Tennis Club was established to provide opportunities for tennis playing residents of Cottonwood Palo Verde at Sun Lakes to participate in organized play, team play, tournament play and social events with friends and neighbors with a common interest. IronOaks and Sun Lakes Country Club residents may also join the club if they have paid the appropriate annual fee required by the Cottonwood Palo Verde Homeowners Association.
Annual memberships run from April 1st each year to March 31st of the following year and dues are payable in advance. An annual club membership entitles members to participate in Monday - Friday mornings organized play, club sponsored social events, and subscription to the newsletter.
Membership meetings are held monthly, October through March. Time and place of meetings are posted on the club bulletin board and here on the website.
