Cockle Bay Tennis Club is a family-oriented tennis club on Meadowland Drive in Somerville, Auckland, beside Meadowlands Reserve and next to Howick Squash Club. Its distinctive feature is its awards: it was named Tennis Auckland Junior Club of the Year and Interclub Controller of the Year in 2024. The club has eight artificial grass courts, all with lights, open from 7am to 10pm every day.
Anyone can try the club without obligation. Club play runs on Monday and Wednesday evenings and Thursday mornings. Members book through the Hello Club system, in sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, and can book up to eight days ahead. Casual players who are not members can book through Hello Club on non-peak times at $25 per court per hour as at 2026. Coaching is included in membership, and there is extra coaching on offer as well.
Juniors have court access from 7am to 6.30pm, and after that they can book if a court is free, with a $5 after-hours lights charge. Joining the tennis club also gives access to the Howick Squash Club, and members who join both receive a 30 per cent discount. The club hosts a Caro Bowl competition, and its conference rooms can be hired for meetings and seminars during the day.
