New at Phantom Lake Club

In 2025 we reimagined our tennis courts to create a 20,000 sqft. recreational experience for all members and their guests. Come hangout in The Backyard! Read a book or just relax under a shady gazebo. Meet friends around the firepit on a cool early summer evening. Learn a new sport by joining our bocce league. Challenge a friend, new or old, to a game of table tennis or cornhole. The possibilities are endless in the ultimate backyard!
