Public Court
As part of our lease terms from Goring Parish Council, Goring Tennis Club provides court 5, the public court for the use of Goring parish residents free of charge. Parish residents may be asked for proof of residency within the parish on an ad-hoc basis. All the courts are maintained and paid for by Goring Tennis Club.
The public court currently operates without a booking system and is available on a first come first served basis.
GTC is permitted to book out the public court for a designated number of hours throughout the year for club activities.
Non-members who are not residents of Goring Parish do not have access to Court 5 and must join the Club to play on any of the courts.
The tennis courts are for the practice and play of tennis in all it's forms only.
Practice Wall
The Club has a practice wall installed alongside court number 3. Members can use this to practice alone or with a partner or use it to warm up while waiting to play.
Booking system
There is a booking system in place in order for members to book the time and court you wish to use to avoid disappointment. You can find it on this website under the tab head "Bookings". Please book a court when you wish to play but remember to cancel it if you no longer wish to use it.
