GENERAL INFORMATION

The Wood Valley Swim and Racquet Club offers four lighted hard surface tennis courts that are available for play year-round.  A covered gazebo allows a view of play on two courts while providing a place to socialize before, during, or after matches.  The tennis courts are secured and require member key access. Bathroom facilities are available.

Wood Valley boasts tennis players of all ages and skill levels.  Play is arranged among individual members since the WVSRC does not directly organize competition.  The WVSRC is proud to currently be the home courts for several USTA league teams for men and women, as well as two Triangle League women’s teams.

TENNIS BALL MACHINE

WVSRC Ball Machine Rental

Ball Machine Membership Access is for WVSRC Members Only

  • Reservations: Members will reserve a court (only courts 1 or 2 should be used for the ball machine) and next to their name on the reservation, comment ‘Ball Machine’ so that other court reservation members know it is being utilized during that time. The ball machine must be returned immediately after the reservation ends. 
  • Check-Out Process: The ball machine will be stored within the clubhouse with a dedicated supply of balls, a ball hopper, and an extension cord. The ball machine is only to be used on courts 1&2.
