Social Tennis

We trust that you will enjoy lots of opportunities to enjoy tennis and all the benefits associated with this great club. The access fob you are given gets you into the courts and clubhouse.  While we don’t operate a formal court booking system, members are aware of when courts are available for social play and make their own arrangements.  The following schedule shows when courts are formally committed to various activities and therefore when they are free for a social hit.   

Please also note that the coach holds clinics for juniors and some events may mean courts are not always available.  Of an evening, the courts can be lit, but If lights are used they must be turned off at 11pm.
