SUMMARY OF CLUB Terms & Conditions/RULES

  1. The following is a summary of the WSTC rules - a full copy is posted on the clubhouse notice board.
  • ​Tennis clothing must be worn at all times on court (WSTC does NOT operate a white kit only policy).
  • ​Tennis shoes must be worn on court (no need to be specific clay court shoes).
  • ​All tennis balls should be collected and the nets let down once play is completed.
  • COURT SWEEPING PROTOCOL
    • As courtesy to other players please allow at least 5 minutes before the end of your session to sweep the courts in a timely manner for the next court booking.
    • Club roll up sessions: If nobody is waiting for your court when you finish play then it is your job to sweep it, lock the gate and return the key
    • It is important to pick leaves/fauna and flora  up before playing/sweeping so they do not get trodden/worked into the sand which if they do will promote moss growth. Moss growth is very difficult to eradicate and is extremely damaging to the artificial clay surface.
    • Heavy rain and very icy conditions: do not sweep the court
    • View short video on how to sweep the courts  HERE

Golf club bar & restaurant area

We have excellent facilities at the Golf Club clubhouse which we encourage tennis members to use. If using the bar and restaurant facilities tennis members can wear clean (non sweaty) tennis gear/tennis shoes in the bar and sun terrace areas.

There are showers and changing facilities at the Golf Club with complimentary towels and shampoo.  Your plastic membership card gives electronic access to these. Should tennis players change out of their tennis gear into civvies they should please observe the Golf Club dress code for the bar and restaurant which is smart casual (no trainers/tennis shoes) and collared shirts for men.
