The Club was formed in 1948 when the Defence Department had two clay tennis court, built in a section known as the NCY Area of the old Salisbury Ammunition Factory, which had been transformed, since the war, into a Defence Establishment named Long Range Weapon Establishment.

We have been located in the Salisbury Recreation Precinct, Happy Home Reserve, Waterloo corner Rd. Salisbury since early 1999 and the planned housing estate with a “Village green” was shelved.

The most important things about the Penfield Tennis Club is that we play organised social tennis only and we do cater, successfully I must add, for mature players of both sexes. We do not stop at that, we also have frequent on site Clubs’ BBQs, we do organise play at different venues, we do have Club dinners on site and other place and do organise the occasional trip.

The current membership stand at 28 players and we must the cheapest club in the state.
