Facilities and Staff
The tennis club's facilities have received praise from some reviewers. Geoff Chisholm and George Mathew both mentioned the quality of the tennis courts, with Chisholm noting that they are the hardest grass courts in Perth. George Mathew also highlighted the variety of games organized on the reserve, making it a great place to exercise and relax. The welcoming and friendly members at the club are also a notable aspect, with Chisholm mentioning this in his review.
Shortcomings
However, there are some areas for improvement mentioned by reviewers. Tanya King noted that there is not enough shade or viewing area for the courts, which can be a problem during longer matches. She also mentioned that some clubs can work on their spectator etiquette. Chad Burrows mentioned that the building needs an update, specifically citing the lack of RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and dodgy switches.
