About the club
Tunbridge Wells Lawn Tennis Club is at Nevill Gate, off Warwick Park, in the south of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The club was founded in 1899 as a tennis and croquet club beside the Nevill Ground, which opened the year before, and held its first Open Tournament in the summer of 1908. It has 21 courts: eight grass, nine artificial clay and four tarmac, twelve of them floodlit. A coaching school was set up in 1975 and the present clubhouse, with an upstairs bar, opened in 1992. About 24 teams play in the Kent and Maidstone leagues in summer and winter, and the club hosts internal and open tournaments and junior matchplay. Play is for members; members may bring guests for a small fee.
