Sports Clubs

A sports club is an establishment before it is a sport, and the useful ones here are the establishments that let a stranger in. Padel is the easiest of them, because almost every court in the city is bookable through the same app whether or not you are a member.

Tennis works differently. The clubs take visitors, but usually at a guest rate, inside a window, and with the organised social play reserved for members. Green Point hires out a racket and a hitting partner. Fresnaye opens its courts to guests between half past eleven and four. The multi-code clubs run both rules at once, so the same afternoon can be open on the padel courts and closed on the tennis.

Each club page lists the sports it offers and the access rules that go with them, because at the bigger clubs those rules are not the same for every court.
