Club Rules
Member access to the clubhouse and courts is strictly 6.30 am – 10 pm
Access outside of these hours can be pre-arranged by contacting apltconline@gmail.com
(Unauthorised access may result in security call-out costs being charged to the member)
For a comprehensive list of the APLTC rules, refer to the Rules for Albert Park Lawn Tennis Club 2014.
Tennis shoes
Tennis shoes should be non-marking and have a flat sole for best grip. Black soled shoes, boots, sandals, bare feet and heels must not be worn on the tennis court as they can mark the surface.
Bag the court after play
Courts must be bagged at the conclusion of play.
Bagging the courts involves pulling the drag mats over the court surface to erase all footmarks and provide an even spread of surface particles.
Please remember to bag the entire court including the area behind the baselines. This not only keeps the court clean for the next players, it ensures the sand stays even across the surface. You may need to use both the heavy and light mats to move the sand and leaves.
Visitors (Non-members)
ALL non-members MUST be signed into the visitor book by a club member.
- Guests are only permitted to play twice per month
- Senior members may invite up to 3 guests per visit
- Junior members may invite 1 guest per visit (aged up to 17)
