Highly recommend

The club has regular mix in sessions so you don’t need to find a partner to get a game of tennis. There are very good players there but mostly there are a lot of people just happy to be doing something active and social. Highly recommended especially for someone moving to the area

5 Star Minimum

It’s the Tennis Club that made me love this great sport! It is run by a really nice group of friendly people. One of the best things about it, is that you can get involved in many different social events on and off the courts! 5 stars minimum. Strongly recommended!
