The redevelopment of FTC’s facilities has begun. By Spring 2027 we will be able to offer 5 new synthetic clay courts, 3 renovated clay courts, new LED lighting and a modernised and fully accessible clubhouse and change-rooms.
Our access to courts will be extremely limited during construction, so unfortunately court bookings will only be available to club members until further notice.
We look forward to welcoming non-members back to a bigger and better FTC.
