Ryde Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club

This is a great tennis, padel, croquet and pickleball club. Open for members (at a very reasonable price) and visitors alike. New padel courts are great and there is a roll up / mix in for non members on a Wednesday and Thursday evening

This is a members club and I was fortunate to be invited to play as a guest of some members. It is a hidden gem. Tucked away at the back of Ryde it offered a number of beautifully maintained and appearing nearly new artificial tennis courts and I think I saw what looked like a couple of grass courts. The club was quiet and civilised without appearing too cliquey ... so great if you just want somewhere to have a good game. I don't really play croquet but there were a number of greens that also looked to be in very good condition. The guest fees were very reasonable as I understand the membership fees are too.

Nice friendly club, shame the AstroTurf courts aren't a little higher quality. Good catering though in the newly refurbished café, and competitive croquet section.
