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.

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!
