"Matching Exercise, Friendship and Fun"

Vacationers Welcome.
Visiting the Cape for a week or a weekend? Give us a call and we will help you line up a match or a lesson.

Our mission at King's Grant Racquet Club
is to foster friendship, fun and exercise.

To that end our staff is dedicated to arranging singles and doubles with players of comparable ability. We are experienced in providing scheduled competitive play and teaching all levels and ages. We offer clinics and individualized instruction, with an emphasis on playing the game of tennis.

We feature six clay courts and one newly resurfaced hard court with three layers of soft topping. All of our courts are easy on your body and the ball bounce is slower.

We have one of the best tennis spots on the Cape -- a warm and friendly atmosphere with great tennis at affordable prices.

Enjoy the Club for five full months! The clay courts and Pro Shop will be open in the beginning of May. All programs will begin the first week of June and continue until the end of September.

NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.  We offer monthly and seasonal memberships for families, couples, individuals, and juniors under 16 years of age.

How about giving the gift of healthy living -- a membership gift certificate. Visit our application page and complete the form for the person you are giving the gift to, then mail to the club at Box 153, Cotuit, MA 02635.
