Mapledurham Lawn Tennis Club

Update June 2020. Work on building the school is behind schedule, however it's nice to see improvements being made to the facilities and carpark. It looks as though the clubhouse is also undergoing major renovation. The club is on the grounds of Mapledurham playing fields. I have not been to the club but I have friends who are members and my daughter has been a few times with them. It's a small, friendly, and popular club from what i have observed. The car park is shared with the playing fields and is currently rough and stony, however a new primary school is being built on a corner of the playing fields next to the carpark so i expect it will be upgraded.

Only 4 courts available, and you can't prebook them. So everyone goes there hoping they will get an empty court, or won't have to wait for long for someone to finish. The courts are beautifully made, and there are floodlights, but 2 of them are turned off at 8pm, leaving only 2 available courts ☹️. People get impatient and annoyed. We had to wait for 35mins for a free court. We were ready to leave but we were lucky I guess that one of the matches finished at our breaking point. Our match lasted for 2 hours, which left the other pair with only an hour start and finish their own. Will only play at my club from now on as there are 8 courts and floodlights (Caversham Park tennis club).

Newly refurbished, great to play on. Nice courts
