Details

Ballarat In The Know places the club at The Mercure Hotel and Conference Centre in Golden Point. The listing explains that real tennis began locally on Main Road in the 1860s, that only five venues operate nationally, and that walk-in visitors and pre-booked players are welcome daily. Visitors can watch a match or contact the operator for an introduction, with guest fees for non-members and programs including school groups, ball-making workshops, racquet-stringing workshops and inclusive sessions for juniors, women and older adults.
