Non-Member Pay & Play
Court Booking:
- Court 3 (the far court) is bookable for either Tennis or Pickleball at a Fee of £8 per hour (each booking can be for: 60, 90 or 120 minutes, charged pro-rata)
- Floodlit Court 2 (the middle court) is bookable for Tennis over the winter season (1st October to 31st March) from 3pm - 7pm)
Procedure:
-
Use the BOOK page to select Date & Time
- You will then be requested to login (first-time bookers will need to register with your email address and then login). LTA Advantage account holders can log in directly.
- Complete your online payment of the relevant court fee by credit or debit card.
You will then receive:
- a Booking Confirmation email with simple instructions on how to obtain the padlock entry code for the Pay & Play access gate.
- an email receipt for your payment.
Floodlight Use:
The additional charge for floodlights is £5/hour. This in addition to the normal £8/hour Pay & Play court booking fee.
Having booked your Pay & Play session on court 2 in the usual way you then need to make the additional floodlight payment at the start of your booked time slot using the Contactless Payment Machine (CPM), adjacent to the court 1 gate. The CPM accepts debit/credit card and smartphone (Apple Pay / Google Pay) payments
CLICK HERE to see a very short video showing how to make payment for the floodlights. The system is quick and very easy to use.
Note that: Paid periods accumulate, so four 30 minute payments will give 2 hours light. You can spread the cost amongst the players.
If your Pay & Play booked session is completely RAINED OFF then you may email: info@fernhursttennisclub.org.uk to request a rescheduled booking at no additional cost.
The Pay & Play Access Gate is in the south-east area of the courts (accessable via the path along the southern fence) with the "Non-Member Pay & Play Access Gate" sign. See the picture below...
If booking for Pickleball
- You will see that Pickleball nets are stored alongside the east fence. These can be simply relocated onto the pickleball court markings to play. Please return the net to the east fence when you have finished play - handle with care!
- Pickleball paddles (bats) and balls are available (in a small courtside storage box) for players' use. Please return them to the box after play.
The Court Rules must be observed
Please note: Court users must be prepared to show ID / booking confirmation, if requested.
The Club's membership fees are very reasonable compared with other local clubs and it is hoped that non-members will want to join the Club. New members of all standards are very welcome and a free Club session / roll up as a taster is available to all potential members.
