Christchurch Football Squash Racquets Club plays out of four glass-back courts on Westminster Street in Mairehau, with about 180 senior and junior members, a bar and lounge, and a 4.8 rating from 39 Google reviews — patrons praise the courts, the parking and the friendly hosts, and the venue is popular for private function hire. Club night runs every Wednesday from 7pm.
Squash clubs live or die by club nights, when players of every grade are mixed through short games — the quickest way for a newcomer to find regular opponents. The unwritten rules matter too: non-marking court shoes, eye protection, and waiting for a rally to finish before opening the door. A good club keeps matches competitive as you improve, through graded ladders, interclub teams and junior coaching, so it's worth asking what's on offer beyond the courts themselves.
This one sits within a wider sports complex that includes tennis courts, a swimming pool and a rugby and netball club, and welcomes new faces at its Wednesday club night in Mairehau.
