Excellent Tennis and Padel facilities plus a good club house serving a range of food and beverages.
Played against a team from this club. Impressive facilities including new paddle tennis courts. Friendly vibe and made to feel welcome despite Covid restrictions
A great club. Bar, tennis, padel, it has everything and well run.
Customer service is a joke, don't waste your time, they are clearly too busy to take on new people or they just don't care and are lazy.
If you want your child to become a pro player then look elsewhere-abroad. This is more like after school club. 450 players in a small venue with a limited number of coaches. Shame there is no pro academy in the whole of Britain to do what other best centres do around Europe. The coaching staff, unfortunately, failed to meet even the most basic standards. Their lack of expertise and engagement was glaringly apparent. It seemed as though they were merely going through the motions without offering any constructive guidance or personalized attention to the players. The absence of a structured lesson plan or tailored approach to each player's skill level was strikingly apparent, resulting in a lack of progression and improvement among participants. Furthermore, the coaches’ disinterest and apathy towards addressing concerns or providing feedback only added to the frustration. Instead of fostering a positive learning environment, their dismissive attitude contributed to a sense of disillusionment among the players. The lack of accountability from the management was apparent as complaints fell on deaf ears, leaving patrons feeling unheard and undervalued. A robust system for feedback and improvement seemed conspicuously absent, reflecting a disregard for the patrons' experience and satisfaction.
