This is primarily a sporting club with the distinction of having 26 grass courts and 7 clay/synthetic courts, three of which are flood lit. The club has an active tennis membership of over 200 and also runs a training academy for juniors. Despite increasing preference for synthetic courts, the Club maintains its grass courts and can boast of the largest number of grass courts in the country which equal the standards of the Wimbledon Grass Courts. The clay/ synthetic courts are the main stay during the rainy season when grass courts are closed. They perfectly align in the North-South axis and are surrounded by thick bushy trees so that the screens are not visible. An interesting feature of the club is its location in the middle of an elite residential area. As a result, the Club has tennis almost through out the day. The Club also has 3 squash courts, a covered swimming pool with solar heating facilities, functional through out the year.
