Friendly, good value grass court club

This is an old and respected club that has incorporated Colchester Lawn TC and now boasts 9 grass courts, all of which are in fair but not tip-top condition.

There are no floodlights but there is a decent clubhouse which has facilities for making drinks and small meals, there are changing rooms with showers and toilets and ample parking for cars and bikes.

Around 70+ members which means most know each other, at least by sight.

Several teams in various local divisions for competitive play.

Discounts for students available.

Fences & nets need upgrading and the installation of windbreaks would be useful due to the placement next to open fields.

Overall, a pleasant place to spend time playing decent tennis. However, it's possibly not the best place to start for beginners as there is no full-time coach (no lessons available).
