Tennis

With four tennis courts, two of which are floodlit for year round play, access to a wonderful clubhouse and a top flight tennis coaching partner, tennis players of all ages and abilities are well catered for.

Our aim is to encourage the enjoyment of tennis in all members, whatever their age or ability. We are keen to ensure a fun and supportive environment for everyone to fulfil their potential and offer a pathway for players of all abilities.

  • Our coaching partner HotShotz can provide various sessions for beginners to build confidence and ability. Typically, this might be complete novices or hesitant ‘returners’ who want some time on court with like-minded players.
  • Our popular Social Tennis sessions are ideal for those of intermediate ability: informal games where we mix and match but (hopefully) all improve with time!
  • For the more competitive players there are also occasional league matches against other clubs.
