Sunnyhills Tennis Club is a tennis club in Sunnyhills, Manukau, in east Auckland. It has a 4.8 rating on Google and a website.
A good tennis club is welcoming to beginners, with well-kept courts, friendly members and a mix of social and competitive play. Expect coaching for juniors and adults, social tennis nights, interclub teams and sometimes a clubhouse for after the game. When choosing a club, ask about membership and fees, what days and times the courts are open, whether there are coaching programmes for new players, whether you can try a few sessions first and how junior and adult teams are run. Regulars know that booking a court ahead helps at busy times, that non-marking tennis shoes protect the surface, that a racket can be borrowed or bought second-hand to start and that weekday evenings are popular for social play. Bring water and sun protection, and dress for the weather. Many clubs close courts in heavy rain, so check the club's website for news and any court conditions.
For anyone in Sunnyhills and east Auckland, Sunnyhills Tennis Club is a local club to try.
