Court Availability

With 3 hard and 3 artificial grass courts available, there should always be courts available for social or casual tennis.

Members should use the club's Court booking system to see what courts are available and book their court before playing.

Court Etiquette

The club rules provide details on court etiquette and expected codes of behaviour, for example regarding clothing, footwear and glass containers. See the Rules

Floodlights

To use the floodlights, you need to pay using the contactless payment system situated by the entrance to the courts; it costs £5 per hour (divided into 15 minute segments). Watch this handy video  below on how to use the lights:

Please note the following:

  • If the floodlights go off, it will take about 15 minutes for them to come back on again (if more time is topped up)
  • A small blue light fixed on selected floodlight pillars will flash when there is 5 minutes left (so a cue to top up your court if you need more time).
  • When a court’s lights go out, two lamps remain on for 5 minutes to enable a safe exit from the courts.

The floodlights cannot be used before 8.00 am and after 10.00 pm. Note that there is an automatic switch off linked to these times that cannot be overridden by players.

Guests

Members are allowed to bring guests along to play tennis. See here for details.

Clubhouse Access

You can purchase a swipe card to gain access to the clubhouse when it is not open. These can be obtained from the bar manager. You will also need to de-activate the alarm when first entering the club.
