Mountain Gate Tennis Club was established in 1960 and is continuing to grow at a rapid pace. Originally with only four courts at HV Jones Reserve, we are now in Reta Matthews Reserve at the end of Bourke Road Ferntree Gully. The new location has eight flood lit courts ( six en tout cas and two synthetic) adjacent to the tranquil setting of the Blind Creek trail.
We cater for a wide range of skill levels, whether you are a beginner looking for lessons, interested in weeknight social tennis, or competition tennis on weekends. The club is involved in many different competitions and leagues including week night competition through Knox District Night Tennis Association, Saturday morning/afternoon and Sunday through Waverley District Tennis Association and Pennant.
Mountain Gate Tennis Club is affiliated with Intense Tennis who provide quality coaching to help players improve their skills and knowledge of the game. They also offer Hot Shots tennis for young players and parents to learn the game in a fun and friendly environment before moving on to competition tennis as they get older.
