Tennis

Whether you’re a competitive tennis player or a beginner, we have the tennis membership for you.

Our six outdoor floodlit tennis courts surrounded by the listed Victorian wall of the original garden have just been refurbished and are in pristine condition. Tennis members can enjoy informal tennis at our Club Nights and social tournaments, learn to play with our team of coaches or take part in competitive league tennis.

Perhaps finish off an early evening game with a Pimms on the terrace of the restaurant? You can’t get much more ‘English’ than that. If the winter months prove too wet to play outdoors, then pop inside and try your hand at squash or racketball, both are included in the Rackets membership, along with swimming in our indoor and outdoor pools.

The best place to start is our popular Thursday Club Night. Running from 6.00pm this coach-led social doubles session is open to players of all abilities and is a great way to get to know other members.

We have men’s, ladies, mixed and junior tennis teams competing in local leagues. We are always looking for new players of all abilities to join the teams.

Over the summer and winter seasons we have sixteen teams competing in the Exeter and District and East Devon Tennis Leagues so there is plenty of opportunity for everyone who would like to participate in competitive league tennis. We also have junior teams from 8&U to 18&U taking part in the Aegon Team Tennis competition in the summer season.

We are proud of our tennis coaches and take pride in having a multi award-winning team. Tennis lessons are available for all levels and ages, and can be booked as individual coaching or in groups. From ladies morning coaching sessions to Cardio Tennis, from Club Night to individual sessions, there is something available for everyone.

There is plenty on offer for junior members as well. Our Saturday morning sessions are a great introduction to tennis for juniors of any age. We also run a busy weekday programme with squads for all age groups, matchplay sessions and the opportunity to arrange individual lessons.
