When the club was formed in 1920 it was based on a farm outside the Town, but in 1925 it moved to its current location. In 1943 the Club purchased the land outright for £225, within a Trust, on the basis that it continued to be used for tennis.
The Grove Tennis Club is located in the heart of the historic town of Saffron Walden. The club has first-class playing facilities with five floodlit, all-weather courts, four artificial grass courts and one artificial clay court.
The Grove prides itself on being a friendly club and welcomes new members of all standards. It benefits from its own professional coaching team and provides year-round coaching for players of all ages and abilities. It offers excellent opportunities to play both competitive and social tennis and has a thriving junior membership. The current membership totals more than 270, ranging in age from just one year to 83.
