100 years of Tennis in Portishead
Our Centenary Year is Here - Portishead Tennis Club turns 100!
This year marks a special landmark for tennis in Portishead with the club officially 100 years old. Over the past few years the club has expanded significantly with new floodlit courts accessible via Pay and Play, and now offers much improved facilities on and off the court. There has never been a better time to get involved with the club! We will be marking the occassion with a number of special events, so keep an eye out for announcements soon.

PAY and PLAY Courts
You can now book a court as a non-member, at certain times. To do this, go to the Booking section and click on a time slot with a price. If a court is already booked, it is marked with a padlock symbol.
Pay and play bookings are £5 per half hour during the day, and £6 per half hour in the evening when the floodlights come on.
When you book, you receive a one-off code number for access via the new electronic gate which is at the bottom of the steps down from Esplanade Road. Lights come on automatically - so please remember to cancel your booking (which triggers a refund and saves the lights) if you are not planning to use your booking.
At PTC we want to promote tennis for all. We have put a huge amount of effort into making these new Pay and Play courts happen, and we hope they will prove a popular new facility for the people of Portishead.
About the Club
Welcome To PTC
Portishead Tennis Club was founded in 1924, and has grown into thriving local club with five all weather floodlit courts located at Portishead Lake Grounds. We currently have over 300 members including an active junior section. The club now offically operates as Portishead Tennis Club Ltd., but remains a not for profit club run by a team of volunteers.
2 of our 5 courts have been built recently with the assistance of North Somerset Council, The LTA and Sport England. You need to be a member for general play at the club, but these new courts are Pay and Play for the people of Portishead - available to book online via this site without being a club member (see Booking).
The club is here to promote tennis for all in Portishead and the surrounding area. We welcome new members all year round, and non-members are welcome to some of our pay and play training courses. We are also keen to work with local community groups to promote tennis.
Throughout the year we offer:
- Regular club social sessions
- Juniors and Adult training and fun improvers sessions
- For experienced players, we have regular play and teams entered in both the Avon Winter and Summer Leagues
- A thriving junior section with teams competing in local leagues
- A variety of tournaments and events throughout the year for full members.
- Regular social events
We have qualified coaches, Mike Greedy, and Dom Boylan who run one to one and group coaching for both junior and adult players throughout the year. Group coaching is available to members and non-members and can be booked at clubspark.lta.org.uk/mtgtennis.
