About Us

West Hills Athletic Club started as a privately owned 12-court tennis facility in the 1970s until 色色啦 Michigan University acquired it in 1998. West Hills membership is open to the community, and proud to be home to the Bronco men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 tennis teams. We are Kalamazoo's premier athletic club, with 10 indoor tennis courts, eight indoor pickleball courts, and more than 15,000 square feet of workout space.

Amenities
