Birkenhead Tennis Club is a small, friendly tennis club on Verran Road in Birkenhead, on Auckland's North Shore. The club sits on the highest point nearby, with views to Rangitoto, and its history spans more than 100 years. It has about 100 members and three artificial grass courts, all floodlit until 10pm. The club welcomes new members at every level, from social play to interclub, and offers membership options with introduction specials. Senior members can use the clubhouse, which has an oven, fridge and lounge seating. All members can use the bathrooms and table tennis tables.
The club holds Senior Club Days on Wednesday nights from 7pm to 10pm and on Sunday afternoons from 3pm to 5pm, and social matches on Wednesday mornings from 9.30am to noon. Mid-week social tennis runs through the year. The club takes part in the Northern Tennis (North Shore) Competition for senior and junior players, with juniors aged 9 to 18 eligible. It also runs social events, and a club championship each March or April. Visitors are welcome to introduce themselves at a Club Day. For a North Shore player who wants a small club with floodlit courts, social play and a range of interclub grades, the club covers all three.
