Grass Court Guidelines.
Our grass courts are something special - and they need a little extra care.
Scarborough is lucky to have some of the finest grass courts around, and keeping them in great condition is something we all share responsibility for.
These guidelines are here to protect the courts, make sure everyone gets to enjoy them, and help us keep them playing beautifully throughout the season.
A little consideration goes a long way.
Look after the courts. Respect the conditions.
And leave them ready for the next person.
ACCESS & USE
-
Grass courts are strictly for members only.
Visitors may play during social tennis times only or must be accompanied by a member and pay the $15 visitors fee for general play. -
No play before 9am or when the grass is wet!

Club tournaments, pennants and coaching sessions take priority over casual play.

Pennant Players are permitted to us the courts during social tennis and or competition days, provided courts are available and they will need to move courts on request or cease play until courts become available.
