Why it is special
Felixstowe Lawn Tennis Club, founded in 1884, plays on 9 grass courts through the summer season. A further 9 floodlit courts, 3 acrylic, 3 macadam and 3 artificial grass, carry play through the year in Felixstowe, Suffolk, all overlooked by a spacious clubhouse. The club hosted a Great Britain Davis Cup tie in 1954.
Club sessions run on Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings, and men’s, ladies’ and mixed teams compete in local leagues alongside a Friday Night League. The resident Makeaball Tennis Academy runs term-time coaching for juniors and adults and holiday camps. The annual ITF Seniors Tournament has returned to the club for its 12th year.
