CLUB HISTORY
Around 1900, the GGTC was formed. Social tennis matches were played on a clay surface court near the Golden Grove township. Tennis resumed after World War 1 in 1919 on two clay courts. Matches were played at Houghton and as far away as Virginia, Alberton, Victoria Park Racecourse.
In 1946, the GGTC moved to its present site. Land was donated by Mrs. Hanna Tilley with local farmers and friends helping level out the present four courts. Two courts were bitumised at a time. Mrs Dorothy Tilley, a Life Member, donated the Back stops for the last 2 courts.
Since 1983 and the Golden Grove Development we have grown significantly to being the largest Tennis Club in the north east. We have outgrown our facilities and are waiting on the upgrade to Tilley Recreation Park. Our goal is for a 12 - 14 court complex with Clubrooms and Canteen facilities so players can relax, drink and socialize.
CLUB WEAR
Golden Grove Tennis Club and Club Sponsors, EMBROIDME, have developed a range of Club Apparel of excellent workmanship. We are endeavoring to make it compulsory for all players to wear the Club Shirt as it gives the Club a sense of unity. The high quality materials used are lightweight with 50+ UV rating, minimize odor, drip/dry (no ironing required). Any Profits made are redirected into the Club's courts, facilities and administration. To arrange Purchases, contact Junior Co-coordinator or visit the Canteen on Saturday Match days only, 9 - 11am.
