What our members (and parents) say

"I have been bringing my 3 sons to play tennis at Halton Tennis Club for nearly 8 years. Halton is a beautiful club which is maintained to a very high standard which makes it a lovely environment to be in. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and while your child is playing tennis you can go to the gym, visit nearby Wendover or relax in the Pavillion Club House. The Pavillion serves a variety of refreshments and some lovely cakes too. Whatever your visit to Halton is for you will be treated like one of the family and a warm welcome will always be received."
