Our Mission
To encourage the game of tennis in an atmosphere of camaraderie, while fostering friendships off the court by hosting social events throughout the year at our clubhouse and other venues.
Some Membership Benefits
A small and vibrant organization, the Club is fundamentally about connection, and membership will deepen your sense of community. We play tennis together. We maintain the club together. We host and attend numerous social events together. Perhaps most importantly, we decide what we want the club to be together. The people you meet through the club can quickly become the backbone of your social life if you so choose, as well as a ready source of information about other island activities, organizations, and opportunities. There are no strangers at the club.
You don’t actually purchase a membership when you join the club, you buy a share of the club, including the property and facilities. Your share (currently there are 47 shares authorized in the bylaws) is immediately worth considerably more than the amount you paid for it. You may pass this share to your descendants if you see fit and gift them the benefits of the club. You may sell it at any time for any purpose in accord with the procedure set forth in the bylaws. In short, you get a great deal with the club: your up-front cost is outweighed by the value of your share of the property, and that cost will be recouped to a large degree if you decide to end your membership. This is not a club where you sink a great deal of money just to walk in the door, because the club is an association of friends, not a business for profit.
The Club is the best place to play tennis on the island. Remote and surrounded by field and forest, the club has a peaceful and calming atmosphere free of the noise of other activities. It is truly a magnificent spot. One of our two courts is almost always available — you will rarely, if ever, not be able to book a court at your preferred time. Moreover, our courts are very forgiving, with a special surface that reduces stress on the joints. And there is a ball machine available for your use at no charge if you want to drill certain shots or can’t find someone to hit with.
We will review these benefits, as well as others, during the application process, which we designed to allow time for you to use the club and meet the members before joining. You can find out more about membership here, and feel free to contact us with any questions.
