Compact but extensive Sports centre in a nice leafy suburb of Ipswich, offers 10 tennis courts (3 acrylic indoor, 3 hard courts in bubble, 3 outside astroturf and 1 outdoor hard) - plus an outdoor Padel court. 7 Squash/Racquetball courts and a gym but I didn't use those. Hockey pitches but don't know anything about that aspect. On the whole, the place looks a wee bit desolate and dilapidated, both inside and out, and needs a thorough rebuild/refurb (hopefully forthcoming soon with proceeds from selling off adjacent land). The Padel court is a nice new touch - I wonder if they might sacrifice another tennis court for expansion of this new (to most Brits at least) sport. Apparently there are new lights in the indoor tennis centre (which feels like a cold warehouse in the winter) but as far as I'm concerned, they're not fit for purpose. For a fast surface, you really need to see where the ball is to judge the bounce but it's a struggle - though I guess you'd get used to it over time. The tennis bubble is brighter when the sun is out but that brings its own issues (with heat and glare, as it's only a single thin skin).

A fantastic club for sports, with great tennis and squash courts, and more padel courts coming soon hopefully. A members club at its core, with a fantastic history, and a legacy of hosting thousands of players over the years, from enthusiastic beginners to the world’s finest. I feel really lucky to be a part of the club and the community that it creates. This isn’t a soul less gym chain, it’s a bit rough round the edges in places, but look beyond that, it has everything you need. With a couple of games a week, and studio sessions with brilliant instructors, my family get great value from our membership and we would recommend it in a heartbeat.
