I want to love L.B. Houston but it's the little things that keep adding up. It's less than 10 minutes from my townhome so the location is perfect although the park driving in feels very downtrodden and a shooting range is nearby, which doesn't bother me too much but it isn't ideal. The tennis operation has been in disarray for a long time (although they have a newer head pro) so I have mostly played pickleball there. You can't beat the price for open plays (High beginner to Intermediate Thursday / Advanced Saturday morning): $5 through the Impact Activities app. But like anything with a cost that low, you have to put up with some things. The tennis and pickleball courts are mostly in very good shape but for pickleball, the court layout is problematic. Because the courts don't all run together side by side, too many bouncing balls and players walking like cattle across a highway when a court opens up make interruptions unbearable at times. The players on Saturday morning are very good and LB Houston is a sneaky good place at that time to find advanced players - but it doesn't feel like a community, it's not a very social scene, and feels very transactional and somewhat clique-ish. The front desk leaves a lot to be desired. They don't answer phones much, if at all, and have had issues processing payments. I feel like L.B. Houston could be great - but I'm not really sure because of the logistics and park structure that any leadership...
Read moreThis is more of a vision and update on L.B for others who visit google reviews. To the previous reviewers who didnt have a good experience here at LB, I assure you things have changed and will change to strive for professionalism, fun, and a well run tennis center. Give us a few more weeks to get things up and running and if your still in the area feel free to give us another try. I assure you the things that have happened in the past will be corrected and handled professionally from here on out, you have my word.
To the ones who've enjoyed their time at LB, I strive to keep that going. Thank you. I will be out there all day everyday most likely helping the Junior Program. I will be one of a few great people getting things going again. Feel free to come out and introduce yourself. I left 1 star of course because I know we have a ways to go. I look forward to seeing you and coming back on this site and earning many 5 starts. Thank...
Read moreLB Houston is absolutely the place to be!! Me and my friends have been coming here for a few months now and we always leave with smiles on our faces. The facility is clean, maintained and overall a pleasant environment to be in. The staff is also great, friendly and funny!
My last experience was today(8/21)and the gentleman at the front desk is LITERALLY the best. I asked him about the rackets and he educated me on some of the rackets, prices and what to expect when picking one out.
Overall, my friends and I are very happy with this place and will continue to attend for as long as they are open.
P.S. - the road to getting to the courts also makes it a fun experience. For those that complain about the road needing to be fixed, keep in mind that some things are out of their control and should not be a reflection of the establishment.
Keep up the good work...
