What is an associate membership?
The BTC has aligned with the Annapolis Royal Tennis Club (ARTC) to create an Associate Membership which would give members a discounted rate at each club. Not a member of ARTC but another local tennis club? Let's chat!
What do you do with the used tennis balls?
As new balls are used for all club play, used balls are collected and reused for training and practice. If you require some used balls for play, please contact us.
Why do you need to pay ball fees for game play?
Our preference as a Club is to play with new and consistent ball types. The Club has chosen to purchase new balls for all scheduled club play, and your ball fees help defray costs of the balls. This means you don't have to purchase your own balls to play. Each player is asked to pay ball fees for each visit in addition to membership.
Do you have tournaments?
We are looking at opportunities to host introductory lessons, kids/youth camps, adult improvement clinics in the future as well as tournaments and interclub. Stay tuned!

There are two newly resurfaced hard courts available. Both courts are reserved for the Club during club play.
