Beautiful Creve Coeur Racquet Club
On June 8 of 2023 CCRC was 55 years old. The club was built and has been operated by the Apted family since day 1. Their partner in 1968 was Hall of Fame Tennis Legend Larry Miller who set the bar for Tennis instruction and a family environment second to none. Creve Coeur sits on 15 beautiful acres in the heart to Creve Coeur and has everything a family could want: 18 hard courts, 3 clay courts, grass courts are growing for a grand opening, dedicated pickle courts inside and outside, paddle tennis, swimming and play area for families that could easily be 4th generation as members. CCRC has been recognized locally and nationally for the facility and their engagement with the community. Giving back is part of CCRC's mission. A Big Part.
