Padel tennis courts - coming this autumn
We’re excited to be bringing three brand-new outdoor padel tennis courts, perfect for both novices and seasoned players and have appointed Midlands-based Fosse Contracts Limited to install the courts, marking the start of an exciting new phase in its work to transform the leisure attraction.
Padel tennis combines elements tennis and squash, played on smaller enclosed courts with glass walls that add an exciting dynamic to the game. It is one of the UK’s fastest-growing sports and is played in an enclosed court with stringless, perforated rackets. Easy to learn and highly sociable, Padel is usually played in doubles on a 10 by 20 metre court, using the same scoring system as tennis.
The courts offer a fast-paced, fun experience, with the added feature of rebounds off the walls keeping the action going.
The three new courts will be constructed on the north side of the golf course with work set to begin later this autumn.
Initially the three courts will be built first, with the services building developed at a later date.
Planning permission for the padel tennis courts was granted on 3 February 2025 and permission to award the contract was granted in September 2025.
