About Us

Whiteford Road Tennis Club is Plymouth's only private club which is owned by its members. It originated circa 1910 when two squash courts were built and these still form a large part of the clubhouse, although they have since been converted into badminton courts. Tennis has been played at the Club since the 1920's and there are now three all weather courts available.

Over the years the Club has been prominent in Plymouth tennis, taking part in Plymouth and District league matches and championships at senior and junior levels. It also hosts four of our local badminton clubs who use the two indoor courts in the evenings.

Membership is open to anyone irrespective of playing standard and coaching services are available for both seniors and juniors. We are a friendly tennis club and have introduced a new badminton membership for play during the day.
