    Tennis Playground – The Club, Bukit Utama

    The Club is a members only club located near the Curve in Damansara and it has 3 nice indoor artificial grass courts. Apart from the tennis courts, it has various other sports facilities like badminton, squash, golf, swimming pool, etc. & if you are a One Utama’s One card holder, you can book the tennis court for Rm26 per hour even if you are not a member. So if you want to play in this club but don’t want to be a member, just go to the One Utama Shopping Centre & get yourself a One Utama’s One Card for like rm10 if I am not wrong and then you can proceed to this club & book for a court. They also have a very nice place to eat & chill out downstairs.

  • Tennis Playground – Clay courts in Singapore

    Tennis Playground – Clay courts in Singapore

    by spurskev

    Since its the french open season.. so maybe some people are curious to try out a clay court nearby. I’m not too sure whether there are still clay courts around in M’sia but in Singapore there is one which is open to public. I was eager to try out the clay court and want to know whats the difference from normal hard courts we usually play at.. After first few strokes i felt quite easy to get into motions..There are sometimes some unexpected bounces once in a while where the ball sometimes kicks up very high when there is alot of topspin on the ball. The clay here is of very thin layer and there is sand particles in it which i am not too sure whether a normal court would have or not. I felt it plays almost similar to the hard court and occasionally the weird bounces. I always thought that it would be easy to slide on clay buy I was wrong.. haha. But certainly its worth a try for those die hard tennis fans.. 🙂
