About the club
Calcutta Gymkhana is a tennis club on Suhrawardy Avenue in the Beniapukur area of Kolkata, founded in 1930 and devoted to sport, and tennis in particular. The club began with six grass courts, which could be used for only about half the year because of the monsoon. In the late 1970s four of them were converted to clay, and in 2000 floodlights were installed on the clay courts. Today the club has 2 grass courts and 4 clay courts, and it has recently fitted LED lighting. It runs the Calcutta Gymkhana Tennis Academy, holds tournaments for all age groups through the year and organises social events for members and their families. A gym and table tennis are also available. The club website describes membership as affordable but gives no rules for visitors.
