Tennis Regulations & Etiquette

Tennis Court Usage

Tennis play is not allowed on any court before 8am - please consider our neighbours. 

Courts MUST be pre-booked and every player who will be on court in a booking must be named on the booking system. 

Please cancel your booking as soon as possible if you later find that you are unable to use it. This is particularly important for court 8 as this is currently our only tennis court with permanent court lighting, and for all courts in peak times during which member demand is highest. Make sure you cancel all the 30-minute slots in your booking by ticking the box ‘All bookings in the series’.

You may be unable to book if your membership is overdue or your bookings account is in deficit. 

 Guests

Guests invited by members are welcome but their name MUST be entered and payment made online in each playing slot at time of booking the court, even for family guests. A tennis guest may be booked for a minimum of 1 hour play. 

An individual guest may play a maximum of four sessions at the club in any twelve month period, and may only play together with the member who has invited and pre-booked them on the system. 

Only two guests may play at a time with a given member. 

Guest and court fees are paid by the member who makes the booking, so you must have sufficient credit on your own online booking account to cover all guest fees at the time you make the booking.

A video guide to adding credit for payment of guest fees can be found here.

Any member who brings a non-member to play at the club without entering their name in each booked slot and pre-paying the guest fee may be charged a penalty guest fee of £20 in addition to regular session guest fees. Repeated infringement may result in suspension of the member’s playing privileges.
