Outdoor clay tennis courts open in Harrogate

The clay court at David Lloyd in Harrogate.

New outdoor clay courts have opened at David Lloyd Club in Harrogate.

The club on Oakdale Place has launched the new courts for members to use.

Those using the courts are encouraged to sweep them before and after use, and to use the wheel brush to re-mark the lines.

A spokesperson said:

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new clay outdoor courts, just in time for this sunny weather!

"We encourage you to come and enjoy these fantastic new facilities.”

David Lloyd Harrogate has also issued an update around its padel courts, which have recently been relaid.

The club said it is “not satisfied” with the quality of the work and is bringing contractors back to redo the work in July.

A spokesperson said:

“Court 1 will be open for walk-on play. While it may not be in ideal condition, we hope you will still enjoy a game or two.”
