The Grove Lawn Tennis Club was formed in 1920 and moved to its present site in 1928, renting two grass courts. In 1943 the Club purchased the land outright for £225, within a Trust, on the basis that it continued to be used for tennis.

The original wooden clubhouse, built in 1946, was replaced in 1961 at a cost of £350. The grass courts were in due course replaced by hard courts – one court in 1951 cost £300. In recent years, with the aid of Lawn Tennis Association interest free loans, all five courts have been resurfaced and improved. With the help of a Lottery Fund grant, the present clubhouse was built in 1998 at a cost of £77,214.

In 2011 the floodlights were upgraded and extended to cover all 5 courts. This £50,000 upgrade is helping its juniors and seniors get even more practice over the winter months.
