Anyone played tennis at HGVC Flamingo?

I know guests at HGVC Flamingo can use the pool facilities at the Flamingo hotels. Does anyone have experience with using other amenities?

I know the hotel has tennis courts and wondered if I could use them as an HGVC guest. Is there a fee?

I figured I'd add the info for posterity and the benefit of anyone who searches in the future.

We were able to use the courts at the adjacent Flamingo hotel. It's short walk through the pool area to get there. Court time was $20 for two people. (I don't remember if it's $10/person or $20 per court). We didn't have any special privileges as HGVC guests, so I think it would have been the same rate and availability regardless of where we were staying.

That's too bad, all my 3 boys are tennis enthusiasts.
How was the court condition? Was it clay court?

Courts were hard court. I don't think they've been resurfaced too recently but were in OK condition.

I don't know how busy they normaly are. We were there during a low occupancy period. One good result is it was easy to get a court.

Some more information for posterity.

The courts at the Flamingo hotel are now gone. They've been demolished for the "Linq" project.
