Tennis at Ranelagh

Tennis is a vibrant part of the Ranelagh Club. Our tennis cabana and six floodlit mod grass courts, allow continuous play from day through to late evening all year round.

The tennis courts at the Club are available for all members to use and members are welcome to bring guests. Guests are required to sign in and pay the applicable $10 fee to play.

There are active ladies, men’s, mixed and junior tournaments that compete all year around. However, if you would like to meet some new people, play some tennis, without the pressure of competition, come along to the Monday and Thursday morning social games and enjoy a hit in a friendly and relaxed environment.
