The Club at Harbor Point

If you want to live somewhere where you feel like you’re forever on vacation at a swank resort, look no further than The Club at Harbor Point. My friend and coworker lives here and I am always envious of the laid-​back lifestyle he is privy to.
The Club is also one of those places I would have never considered if I hadn’t first visited. I don’t play tennis and there are plenty of tennis courts, and the natural assumption is that a place like this is snobby and exclusive. That couldn’t be further from the truth. All the employees are super friendly and welcoming. There is a massive pool that is accessible to all ages and the food and drinks in the bar area are only enhanced by the beautiful views of the bay. Yes, I believe you do have to actually pay to live here to have access to all this, but as a casual guest I was more than impressed.
Mill Valley has a reputation for million dollar houses hidden away on hillsides. The Club adds a nice alternative to this with a lot of the same benefits.

(This review is just for the pool experience.)
Fifteen years in Mill Valley, and yesterday was my first time in the Harbor Point Pool. Pulling into the parking lot, it is clear that this is a top-​notch tennis facility – lots of courts that are well maintained. My intent was to attend a swim clinic (Mondays at 6:30 with Sarah); I am not a member.
The attendent at the desk was straight from central casting («California teenaged boy; handsome and polite»); he took my money ($ 15), offered me towels, and directed me to the women’s locker room (which, somewhat strangely, is accessed by walking through the gym). The locker room was clean and had guest lockers that one can use by entering a self-​made user code (no lock needed). The showers have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, all of which were totally acceptable. By the way, please shower *before* you get in the pool, K? Cause after a day out and about, you’re kinda gross. Or I am, so I’m projecting… Seriously, it is standard pool etiquette.
The pool is outside, quite warm (80ish?), and, on an uncharacteristically balmy early summer evening, just beautiful. The lanes are kind of odd. I think there were two or three narrow lanes separated by lane lines plus a wider lane in the middle. Basically, it is not clear whether one should have one’s own lane or circle swim or what, but this was a non-​issue since I swam as part of the clinic (which, incidentally, was good). There is also a hot tub to the side, which is shallow and standard (in a good way). Thumbs up for the pool and hot tub.
The crowd was overwhelmingly over 50 y.o. in the pool, hot tub, and locker room (this may not be generally true of the membership, just one sample on one evening). The pool is positioned right near the water, with gorgeous views. I’m glad I finally went here, and it won’t be my last visit.

Ken Andrason and his staff just helped me put on a fabulous party for my 95 year old friend. Ken put together a great menu after speaking with me and listened to what my friend’s wants/​needs were. The restaurant looked beautiful on the day of the event. The food was awesome and he estimated the quantities to be just about right. The waitress and bartenders did a great job keeping everyone happy. I would definitely recommend for a party and/​or brunch. Great group of people.

Nice facilities for working out. Very good for tennis. Pool looks great but not be fooled. Regardless of chemical additives almost no one showers before entering the pool. A couple of small signs posted but zero enforcement. No hair cover required — and there is a lot of long hair here. GROSS.

The Best of the Best
I have been a member since about 1979.
Are you kidding me? Pool is open from. 6:00 am– 10:00 pm 7 days a week, except for the one week when tennis players like Andre Agasi take over the complex for a great tennis tournament.
Awesome New 2 story Gym building with everything you need including free yoga daily .
Paul at the front desk made it so easy for me to sign in my guest visiting from Hawaii this morning, as he set it up off her to have a one week membership allowing her full use of the club for $ 50.00, with only a phone call.
FOOD– Check out Nourish, the awesome restaurant run by Steve, with the best ambience and views in the County.
This club is a GEM!

Love the club — and facilities. Top flight. Trained with Roger Larson for quite awhile — he is cordial, steady, old school and fun. Many followers. Fabulous location. Staff is terrific.

This club is my home away from home.
Located at Strawberry Point (overlooking the beautiful Bay), this is probably the nicest tennis facility in all of Marin County (and that’s saying a lot!).
I more or less grew up here. My mom has been a member for 40+ years. I always joke that I was conceived on Court 5.
Seriously though, Harbor Point (or the Club at Harbor Point, or what ever they’re branding it these days) is a real gem. They have top-​notch tennis courts, an Olympic size pool, a jacuzzi, a state-​of-​the-​art fitness center, and a club house with solid food and drinks. This isn’t just a tennis club, this is more like a resort. I feel so lucky to have a Club Med like this in my backyard.
The staff is über friendly. Parking is easy. It’s only 20 minutes from SF.
Be warned though — on hot days, the pool can get packed!

This club has a great location, beautiful views and lovely courts. It does not get a great rating because the new expensive fitness facility, while increasing our dues, is cramped and unpleasant to work out in. In addition, there are very few courts and it is often difficult to book one. The restaurant is mediocre at best. It is a shame because it could be tops!

One of the best pools in Marin, but the owners are not smart about designing the buildings. They just did a huge remodel and made the gym area cramped – what a shame. If they had a spacious, appealing gym, this would be THE gym and spa in Marin. The restaurant food is terrific, but again, the building seems cheesy and doesn’t use its waterfront location to best advantage. So close to being great, but not.

Now that the new club house is built, this place is amazing. The pool has an incredible view over looking the water and the new gym facilities are wonderful. All the equipment is brand new and the locker rooms are spacious with showers and lockers. The staff is incredibly friendly and always helps with whatever you need. The community of tennis players is also wonderful. The club at harbor point can’t be beat!

Great outdoor pool above all and the feeling that you are at a resort. One of the most beautiful spots on the water. The teaching pro there is Alleco Provolos, and he is one of the best around. The club is currently going through some renovations, the addition of a new fitness center etc. I would get in now while the price is right, there is no way to predict what the prices may be in the future after the work is done. Great courts, great family pricing, great pool and a great tennis pro, whats not to like?
