From September 11–13, the Garden City Casino held its traditional and much-anticipated Finals Weekend, bringing a thrilling close to the 2026 tennis season.
Open to all Casino members, the annual tournament saw competitors battle for top honors across a wide array of categories, including Men’s and Women’s Singles and Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Women’s 100s, and Men’s 120s.
The showcase weekend serves as a highlight of the local sports calendar, uniting players, families, and guests for three days of high-spirited competition and camaraderie.
This year featured exceptional play from 25 participants, several of whom demonstrated incredible stamina by competing in multiple events throughout the weekend—notably Caitlin Sorohan, Erin Doherty, and Ronnie Kedrin.

Congratulations to all the finalists and the winners! 🏆

THROWBACK THURSDAY!! ⏳

Published in 1897, this photograph was part of a pamphlet made by the Garden City Hotel, describing the town and its amenities. In this pamphlet, the Casino is listed as the primary source of entertainment in town, described as having “excellent bowling-alleys and a thoroughly equipped billiard-room” that overlook the tennis courts. Over 100 years later, the Casino no longer focuses on bowling or billiards, but tennis and social gatherings remain a hallmark of the community. 🎾

THROWBACK THURSDAY!! ⏳

Taking the Pennsylvania tubes? Consider Garden City! This week’s TBT comes from a pamphlet celebrating the opening of the Pennsylvania tubes, featuring various destinations to visit on Long Island. This issue, published in 1910, focused on Garden City, making the Casino a central attraction because of its proximity to the train station. Named “The Garden City Social Club” at the time, the casino was described as “the principal social club of the community”. 🚂
