Club History

The late Harry Hopman founded Heatherdale Tennis Club in 1966 at a public meeting & launch. Courts 1-4 were completed & ready for play by 1967 as the result of a hard working committee whose ideas & dreams still underpin the club today.

By 1983, the club boasted the 8 playing courts, 6 under lights & current Clubhouse including a lounge & bar facilities enjoyed by members in 2001.

The tradition of continuing to improve facilities for members continues with the latest upgrade of the kitchen & lighting on courts 7 & 8. Courts 1 & 2 were upgraded in the December holidays of 2001.

Ian Barclay coached at Heatherdale for a period of 14 years producing many great players including Pat Cash whose name appears on the honor board of Club Champions. 1991 - 1994 heralded the years of the successful Ladies State Grade Pennant Team including two premierships.

Heatherdale has achieved in its short history considerable success at all levels of competition & currently offers opportunities for participation in senior, junior, pennant, midweek ladies & night competitions.
