    It’s a fun place to go with the family. Some can exercise while others can grab a beer. We had a great reunion of Casas de España there. It’s comfortable with a lot of space for young and old. Thank you Aaron for being a wonderful host!

    Disappointing experience @ private tournament. Were told that paddle/ball rental were included & that tournament director services were provided when booking. Leading up to the tournament, I emailed Andrew, our tournament director, w/ proposed rules/tournament layout & requested feedback. Friday before the tournament, I followed up & included a list of team names w Round Robin pools. Saturday, Andrew’s late arrival would've been ok if other employees were helpful. Before Andrew arrived, we asked the girl @ the front desk if we could use the paddles that were included in our fee. She replied w/ something like, “IDK, you’ll have to wait for the tournament director.” Andrew was scattered when he arrived. Tournament directors are responsible for having the bracket ready before the tournament begins. Instead, he waltzed in & asked if I had the list of team names, pools, etc. I reminded him that all the info was included in the emails I sent. (Bc I did not receive any feedback on scoring, I sent out a copy to the 25 registered teams.) Andrew told me that he “doesn’t check his email,” which is unprofessional for a director the week of a tournament. He then said he wanted to change the Round Robin gameplay layout. I was frustrated bc the rules were already shared but conceded. At this point, our tournament started over 30min late & players did not yet have their pool assignments. I was astonished at the man's inability to read & pronounce our basic team names. He stumbled through & butchered them, saying stuff like, “Kitchen [mumbles]- Kitchen something - yall know who I’m talking about - you’re over there.” But we had NO IDEA who he was talking about bc we had 3 or 4 teams whose names started with Kitchen! By then I was genuinely questioning whether he was sober. Once he was done, the question marks on everyone’s faces were obvious. Annoyed, I took matters into my hands, re-read all the pools & handed out court assignments. We discussed having a brief demonstration to review the rules before games started bc some of our participants were not super familiar w pickleball. Andrew was diminutive & unclear during his demonstration. The rules I emailed him indicated our tournament would use rally scoring for timing. W/o consulting me, he instructs all players that the tournament would use traditional (non-rally) scoring, leaving everyone super confused. Again, I had to step in to do his job & make sure everyone understood the rules & rally scoring. Tournament director duties include keeping track of game results & assigning what team(s) are playing next. After pools were given court assignments, Andrew walked away & I did not see him for the rest of Round Robin. Instead of keeping track of game results himself, each pool was given a scrap piece of paper to write down their results. Teams should not have to keep tally of their own record! The next time I saw him was a few hours later when I walked into the proshop w the Round Robin scraps. While Andrew was relaxing, I gave the papers to the girl @ the desk so they could rank the top 10 teams for the final bracket. We waited far too long for the Round Robin results; players were antsy & frustrated. When the bracket was ready, Andrew AGAIN started suggesting we deviate from the set rules. Had we gone with his suggestion & not done rally scoring, our tournament would have been super delayed. After they prepared the final bracket, the employees gave us a piece of paper & continued to sit in the shop. I figured things would run smoother if Andrew wasn’t involved, so I didn’t even ask if he was going to give court assignments. We just took the paper bracket back to our event & I did not see Andrew again. After announcing the bracket seating, we noticed it was strange that the 2 teams who had a perfect record in pool play ended up as seats 9 and 10. So I had to figure out what went wrong & fixed the bracket they incorrectly put together. I ended up running the tournament through the end w/o help. After that poor experience, I won't be returning anytime soon & do not recommend this place.
