Tennis at Tam Heather
We are excited to announce that construction of a new state of the art four court, year-round covered tennis structure began in May 2009, and is to be completed for opening in October 2009.
Tam Heather will have 4 tennis courts permanently covered by a fabric dome. Playing in a dome provides ideal playing conditions since there are no wind and sun distractions and temperature and humidity are controlled year-round. Competitive men and women and non-competitive mixed play is available. Tam Heather is proud to have Lionel Eli, one of the highest rated coaches in Canada, as its Club Professional. Lionel and his team conduct a thorough junior tennis program in both the summer and winter. Adult lessons are also available. Non-members may book courts on a pay as you play basis.
