How is this a bargain? It is 3-5x cheaper than other Tennis Clubs in the area and prices are set to increase $20 to $140 a year in February. Also as Court Hire is $25/hr if you use the courts 5 hours in 1 year you will break even!

Chatswood Tennis Club: Seniors (18 and over) $354 p.a + Joining fee: $100

        Some clubs impose additional requirements, I assume that's what this question is getting at?

        • Associated[Deactivated] @ Balgowlah Tennis Club on 09/01/2022 - 20:11

          Yes until recently unvaccinated could only play singles, but now we followed Tennis NSW directives and they can play doubles

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Balgowlah Tennis Club on 09/01/2022 - 19:53

      If there are people who are willing to play longer you are free to do so
      10pm is the time it generally finishes but there are no bookings afterwards

    This is a fantastic deal! I'm not a tennis player by any means but costs to hire a court is pretty steep these days so for a casual "wannabe" like me, I'd jump at the chance if I lived nearby. I hope you get a lot of members out of this deal.

  • NotOnThePBS on 09/01/2022 - 20:57

      There is parking along the strip along the park and in the local area. There is also covered parking across the road at Bunnings/Harvey Norman

    • Jofzar on 09/01/2022 - 21:33

      As a local its fine, you will find it.

      Might have to do a cheeky 3 min walk/park at the bunning/harvey norman across the street but you will find it.

      Also has a bus stop right across from it

      Also is close if your coming from the city on the b line (prob a 10ish min walk?)

  • Jofzar on 09/01/2022 - 21:31

    FYI for anyone who is closer to this location for per rental (for courts) and not planning to join the club etc from memory it is about the same price/cheaper to rent the courts at Wakehurst Tennis Centre

    (looking at the site again it appears to be 26$ and hour for booking and has multiple courts)

    Been a long time so someone else whos a local might correct me.

    https://wakehursttennis.com.au/

    And I really do realise im pinching pennies here but have to say it.

    As a member, how do you book a court? Online? Call? How long in advance? Asking because I have a friend who became a member in Collaroy and it was so hard to book the courts that he ended up giving up…

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Balgowlah Tennis Club on 09/01/2022 - 22:18

      If you want to attend Social Sessions just write in the Whatsapp group
      Thursday 7-10pm is members time first come first served
      Outside of these times you text the coach who hires out the courts, if its not booked and outside of coaching hours they will let you know if its available and book it for you.

      • ge on 09/01/2022 - 22:24

        Thank you.

      • KaTst3R on 09/01/2022 - 23:01

        The courts are not too far from me and im keen to join. What are the usual coaching hours on the weekends (so I can figure out which time slots are available for member use)? Thanks

        • Associated[Deactivated] @ Balgowlah Tennis Club on 09/01/2022 - 23:04

          Usually after 8pm every night and the sessions I have listed. The weekend is often booked out, so will have to text early to book.

          I have talked to the committee and they are unwilling to accept new member applications who will not play Social Doubles sessions (especially Saturday) or socialise with the club. If you only want to play by yourself this may not be the club for you.

          • KaTst3R on 09/01/2022 - 23:08

            @[Deactivated]: I see. Im too beginner to attempt social. Maybe join at some point when im better at the game. Thanks.

            • Associated[Deactivated] @ Balgowlah Tennis Club on 09/01/2022 - 23:15

              @KaTst3R: If you unsure, you can come for a test session on Saturday, we can judge your level or recommend a very good coach. Jeff Carroll is an ex Semi Pro Player from Rod Laver's era. He was $60/hr when I got coaching from him, but he is very analytical and fixed my serve in hours of lessons. He is now the secretary of the club.

    "cheaper than other Tennis Clubs in the area" like rich expensive areas next to manly

  • mauricem on 10/01/2022 - 00:11

    Great deal for regular social players though with only 2 courts you might be waiting a while if it gets busy.

    How many members do you have and how many attend social sessions?

    I left the last club I was at as they only had 3 courts and it was a struggle to get 3 sets in without sitting around for extended times.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ Balgowlah Tennis Club on 10/01/2022 - 00:43

      We actually are lacking players thus the recruitment. Saturday's we are trying to make up 4 for 1 court now some weeks we do not get 4. We have at least 4 players for 1 doubles court Mondays and Wednesdays. So there is always space for new players to join social sessions.

      • mauricem on 10/01/2022 - 13:56

        Sounds good, we have 6 courts but Saturday socials only averages 10-12 players, 80% male. With more players its easier to make up competitive matches, so its hard to make it challenging for the good players and welcoming/non intimidating for the beginners.
