Slinfold Tennis Club is situated in a picturesque village four miles from Horsham in West Sussex and is open to players of all ages and standards. We take a proactive approach ensuring each person playing feels involved and valued. We take pride in being an extremely welcoming club offering new members the chance to join in and find their level. We offer social and match play, club social tournaments and coaching on-court as well as a number of social events off-court. The club is genuinely friendly and unpretentious with a thriving committee driving the club forward. We won the prestigious Sussex Tennis Club of the Year Award in 2018.

We are very proud of our facilities too featuring three LTA-recommended all-weather artificial clay courts, LED floodlighting, a fully equipped modern clubhouse and ample off-street car parking.  The clubhouse and courts are fully accessible.
