About the club
Tucked away in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, Petworth is a picturesque town steeped in history.
Petworth Lawn Tennis Club was founded in 1946/47 at its current site in Sheepdown Drive Petworth following the merger of The Grove Tennis Club with The Petworth Park Lawn Tennis Club.
We pride ourselves in offering a relaxed and friendly environment for everyone to enjoy their tennis. We have people joining the club for many reasons and welcome players of all ages and playing abilities. Not played on grass before? Then Petworth Lawn Tennis Club is the place for you.

Club Tournaments
Throughout the year, there are many club tournaments that take place and are available for all. These include the men's singles and doubles, ladies' singles and doubles and mixed doubles competitions. Also, there are other competitions like the popular 'Pimms Tournament' which take place on an annual basis.
2019 Club Tournament Finals - September 1st - 10:30am
The 2018 finals will be held on July 29th at 10:30 am. The ladies and men's doubles, singles and mixed doubles titles are all up for grabs. It's always a great occasion, so do come along!
Social Tennis
During the summer months, there are social tennis sessions on a Tuesday and Friday evening at 17:30. These are a great way to meet other members and play some great tennis in the wonderfully relaxed atmosphere that we have at Petworth Lawn Tennis Club.
Internal League Tennis
Another great way of meeting people at the club is by entering our internal tennis league. It is a new initiative with the aim of helping new members get to know people and provide a competitive game for people to improve their own game by playing a mixture of other people.
Competitive Fixtures
Most weekends throughout the summer, we will play fixtures against other local clubs. The fixtures are mostly at home - as our opponents love to take advantage of the chance to play on our grass courts. There are ladies, men's and mixed doubles matches, with players rotated to give lots of people the chance of representing the club.
