The West Lakes Tennis Club was built between 1985 and 1987. A board was formed and together with the Charles Sturt Council the Lakes Sports Community Centre came to fruition for the residents and neighbours of the West Lakes area.
We are one of the few 12 court, fully lit complexes in South Australia. All courts have been built to international standards and along with a large and well presented clubhouse. The layout of the area has paid particular attention to aesthetic and logistical details with the courts being set between the clubhouse and a vast reserve with plenty of car parking space for everyone’s convenience.
Tennis is only one part of the Lakes Sports Community Centre. Lawn Bowls, croquet, indoor bowls, and bridge, dancing, yoga and kumon are all held during the year.
The Charles Sturt Council are currently working with the Community Club to upgrade the function room & bar facilities. We anticipate work to completed later this year allowing for top class facilities for players, friends & family to come and enjoy refreshments after their matches.
The West Lakes Tennis Club is affiliated with Western District Tennis Association and Tennis SA. We offer competition and social tennis to players of all ages and skill levels. Coaching is provided by Chris Deptula and his team of experienced coaches at State Tennis for beginners & advanced players Monday to Friday. New members are most welcome and the courts can be hired on a casual basis.
Our club has played host to events of significant importance such as The Masters Games, The University Games and Australian Money Tournaments.
