5 Best Tennis Clubs in Sydney (2026)

Sydney Racquet Club is a padel and pickleball venue in Moore Park, not a tennis club, despite showing up at the top of tennis searches. The club's own site brands itself as 'Australia's home for Padel & Pickleball' and books courts exclusively through the Playtomic app, with outdoor courts and a social, music-forward atmosphere. It's part of a small chain with locations opening in Canberra and the Gold Coast. If you're after tennis specifically, this isn't it, if you're up for padel or pickleball instead, reviewers rate the experience highly.

MTTC is an indoor table tennis and pickleball venue in Waterloo, air-conditioned and equipment-supplied, with coaches reviewers describe as former competitive players from China. It's not a tennis club either, its courts are for table tennis and pickleball, run out of an indoor space that also includes mahjong and pool tables. Group lessons run around $30 an hour according to one reviewer, covering both adults and kids.

Cooper Park Tennis, run by the Young Aces program, is an actual tennis club, set in a rainforest-lined park a short walk from Bondi Junction. The club runs junior, adult, and performance tennis lessons, court hire, and tennis camps, with Tennis Australia qualified coaches and a 'Tennis Passport' system that tracks a junior player's progress toward the next skill level. Reviewers consistently call out the setting, waterfalls and birdsong a few minutes from a busy shopping strip, as much as the tennis itself.

Tattersalls Club is a private members' social club in the Sydney CBD with dining rooms, a bar, and an athletic department, not a tennis club. Its own site describes it as 'A Club of Consequence' built around community, sport, culture, and wellbeing broadly, and reviewers talk almost exclusively about the dining room, the bar, and the general atmosphere, not tennis specifically. Membership and reciprocal access from other private clubs appear to be how most reviewers experience it.

Centennial Parklands Sports Centre is a multi-sport complex in Moore Park with genuine tennis courts alongside basketball courts and a rugby field, plus its own tennis instructors. It's the real deal for tennis, court hire, private lessons, and social hitting are all part of what the venue offers, even though it also hosts netball and soccer under the same roof. The centre sits inside Centennial Parklands, so reviewers often mention the lake, wildlife, and greenery as much as the sport itself.
