The Cincinnati Open Sporting Club opened this fall at Mason's Lindner Family Tennis Center, giving the $260 million campus year-round tennis, pickleball, padel and dining.

Court rentals began Sept. 1, according to the Cincinnati Open's website. The club sits on the Legacy Park Way campus and features 10 pickleball courts and two padel courts, which the Sporting Club's website describes as the first in Ohio. A Junior Academy, the Grizzly Golf Course and the Midwest Racquet Sports shop round out the offerings. The club also includes a public restaurant and event spaces.

Padel is new to Ohio.

The opening caps a year of milestones for the Mason campus. The 2026 Cincinnati Open drew 300,288 fans over 16 days, topping 300,000 for the first time in tournament history, WLWT reported. Warren County Commissioner Dave Young estimated the tournament generated roughly $200 million in regional economic impact.

"They're not just coming for a day to buy a hot dog," Young told WLWT in August. "They're staying here in our hotels, they're shopping at our stores, and they're eating three meals a day here."

The campus then hosted one of its first major non-tennis events on Wednesday, Oct. 7, when the inaugural CareSource Invitational college basketball doubleheader drew more than 10,000 fans to Center Court, WCPO reported. The University of Cincinnati defeated Ohio State 79-68 in the opener, and Xavier topped Dayton in the nightcap. The event raised awareness and funds for mental health and suicide prevention.

Ben Baumeister, the Cincinnati Open's senior director of event strategy, told WCPO at the Oct. 7 event that the venue's ambitions extend well beyond tennis season. Concerts, he said, "aren't off the table for us."

The Lindner Family Tennis Center's $260 million transformation doubled the campus footprint. Beemok Capital funded 51% of the project. Ohio and Warren County each committed $50 million, and Mason contributed $30 million.

A June 2026 Tourism Economics report estimated the Cincinnati Open alone generates more than $150 million in annual economic impact for Warren County, according to the Journal-News. The tournament attracted ticket buyers from all 50 states and 62 countries, with 57% traveling from outside the Cincinnati area.
