Information
There has never been a better time to join South Cave Tennis Club! We have a smart access gate system, which allows for; online court bookings through ClubSpark, pay and play access for non-members from the local community and South Cave Castle hotel guests, and for the floodlights to come on automatically. We have plans to make these floodlights more cost efficient and environmentally friendly by replacing them with LED lights. and we also have exciting plans for a new clubhouse!!
Our courts were successfully re surfaced in 2023, and deep cleaned in December 2024, allowing for smooth and easy to play on surfaces with good grip and consistent bounce. We will be implementing routine, planned maintenance and cleaning over the following years to preserve the excellent playing conditions.
Smart Access Gate Guidelines
You will need a ClubSpark account to be able to book and gain access to the courts. New members will be invited via email to set up a ClubSpark account. We suggest the easiest way to book a court is by downloading the ClubSpark App for your smartphone or tablet:
Guidelines on court bookings
- Go onto ClubSpark and select the court you want and press confirm…you will receive a 4-digit pin which you input into the pad by the gate. Simply push the gate open. This pin remains active for the whole hour in case you need to come out of the court.
- If you are playing on an evening and require floodlights you must pay for these at the time of booking. These are at a cost of £6/hour (members) and £8/hour (non-members). The floodlights will automatically go on and off.
- ClubSpark settings allow you to book 7 one-hour bookings per week.
- Due to court restrictions, we ask that you only book TWO PEAK BOOKINGS per week. This is done on an honesty basis but we are able to monitor bookings.
Peak
5 p.m. – 9 p.m. Monday to Friday
9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Weekends
The rest is considered as off peak
- If a court is not booked in peak times and you have already used your two peak bookings, you are able to book ON THE DAY.
- Members have priority booking so can book 14 days in advance
- You may cancel your floodlights up to 2 hours prior to your booking. Please note it takes 5 – 10 days for a refund to reach your account.
Pay and Play
- Non-members are able to book using LTA Rally
- The cost of a court for one hour is £10 plus £8 for floodlights if required.
- Non-members can book 7 days in advance
