Welcome to Palgrave Tennis Club!

The Palgrave Tennis Club (PTC) has four hard surfaced courts, with night lighting, available to our members from May to October.
Adding to our quaint country setting in Palgrave, we have our Historical Log Clubhouse with washrooms and kitchen facilities.
The Log Clubhouse began its life around 1840 as a pioneer home. It then became the gift shop at Black Creek Pioneer Village. When the Village reconfigured its entrance, the old structure became redundant, whereupon it was transported by huge flatbed trucks to Palgrave. It has served as the Clubhouse for the Palgrave Tennis Club since the early 1980's.

Message Alert - Court Resurfacing Begins September 2!
Resurfacing of Courts 1, 2 and 3 is scheduled to begin September 2. The work is expected to take approximately 7-10 days, depending on weather and working conditions. Court 4 will be resurfaced later, once Courts 1-3 are available again.
Court Availability:
Courts 1-3 will be unavailable during resurfacing. Court 4 will remain open and available for play.
However, while Courts 1-3 are unavailable, PTC Coaches Andres and Hailey will have priority access to Court 4 for scheduled private or group lessons. If a scheduled coaching session required Court 4, members are asked to finish their current game or reach an appropriate stopping point and then vacate the court.
The temporary court arrangement will allow coaching programs or lessons to continue while the work is underway. We recognize that having only one court available will create some inconvenience and appreciate everyone's cooperation.
The resurfacing will also affect competitive teams, organized ladies' and men's play, house league, and other scheduled club activities.
For questions or concerns about court access during the resurfacing period, please contact Mike or any member of the PTC Board.
Thank you in advance for your patience. A little short-term disruption should leave us with refreshed courts to enjoy for many seasons to come.

Back by popular demand this summer - Adult Cardio Tennis!
The participants loved this new lesson format last year!
A typical Cardio Tennis lesson includes a quick warm-up, a cardio workout, and a cool down. You get short cycles of high intensity workout and periods of rest, similar to interval training, and, in addition, it will be a drills and ball feed class to work on your strokes. Further details can be found on the Programs page.
This is a great workout, both for tennis and fitness! Don't miss out on this opportunity to up your game and show off your improved skills to your opponents!
