Fishbourne Tennis Club is pleased to offer non-club members access to the tennis courts on a pay ‘n play basis.
Non-members can book Courts 3 and 4 only (Courts 1 and 2 have an artificial grass surface and are reserved for members only).
All the courts are floodlit and these can be booked, at extra cost, by members of the public on an hourly basis. Correct tennis shoes must be worn and no dogs are allowed on any court. Do not come to the club if feeling unwell, having tested positive for Covid or self-isolating.
Booking of courts and floodlights is done exclusively online. Please pay with a credit/debit card. It is not possible to pay with cash. You will be asked to supply your phone number and address when booking; this is in order to comply with the club’s track and trace requirements.
After your booking has been accepted you will be emailed confirmation containing your exclusive four-digit code to give you access to the court (and also the code for the floodlights, if booked).
Please note that Pay-and-play customers play at their own risk and accept that they are not covered by the Club’s insurance. Terms and Conditions apply – please see the bottom of this page.
IMPORTANT: Four-digit lock code
You need a four-digit code to our combination lock on the court gates. This will be printed on your booking confirmation email. Please print off the entire email with the four-digit code and bring it with you as you may be asked to provide it as evidence of your booking. Unfortunately, if you forget the code you will not be able to get into your court. If you have booked floodlights, use the four-digit floodlight code to open the lights switch box on the outside of the clubhouse by the door.
