Social play
Day to Day Play
Our courts are available for general play for members 7 days a week until 10pm. You can book a court via our online booking system where you will be able to see which courts are available.
If you play in the evening you can buy floodlight tokens from The Catherine Wheel and Central Stores at £2.50 for each 30 minute token. When you join the club you will be issued with a key to the courts and a key to the clubhouse in return for a £5 deposit.
Club Sessions
We offer 2 Club sessions:
Tuesday evenings from 6.30 - 8.30
Balls and floodlight tokens are provided and a mix in format is followed which suits all standards of play. Just turn up and join in.
We also run club sessions on weekends, either Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons, arranged via Whatsapp. If you are a member email us at marshfieldtennisclub@hotmail.co.uk and ask to join the Whatsapp group (we can send you an invite) and get involved to join in weekend play.
Just for Fun Social Tournaments
3 or 4 times a year we try and run social tournaments for adult members that are just for fun and for all levels of play. Refreshments are provided for a small donation and to cater for different commitments we try and vary the dates to include a Saturday, Sunday and a weeknight.
Guests
While Marshfield is a members club you can play with non member guests where a guest fee of £5 per adult or £2 per child is payable. Guests must play with, or be accompanied by a Club member and the member is responsible for collecting the guest fees. Up to 3 guests may play with a member at any one time and any guests may play at the Club up to 5 times a year.
Fees should be paid in to the box under the sink in the envelopes provided. There will also shortly be an option for you to pay using a QR code displayed in the clubhouse. Please name the envelope with the member and guests names and date and complete the Guest Book in the Clubhouse.
Parents of junior or mini members may play with their child (only) without charge.

Whether you want to play just for fun or in one of our league teams.
Contact us with any questions or come along to a club session at

Ball machine
How to Access the Ball Machine
The Club has a ball machine for members to use.
This is available to all members aged 16 or over free of charge and can be used for 30 minute periods of time. There is no need to book it out but you will need to book a court to use it in the same way as usual.
However before you use it for the first time we request that you receive some instruction on how to use it. This will often be available from a committee member at any of our Club sessions on a Saturday afternoon from 2pm - 4pm, on a Wednesday evening from 6.30 or at one of Sams drop in sessions on a Saturday morning from 10.00am. If you are unable to attend one of these sessions please e-mail the club and we will try and arrange another time.
The Ball Machine MUST be returned to the ladies changing room and put back on charge after use.
