We have 7 all-weather courts which are floodlit for year-round play.
These are split across two nearby venues (Viewpark & Burnside)
Viewpark Drive has been our home for nearly 100 years.
In 2017, we built three new courts on the derelict land which was formerly Burnside Tennis Club.
Both venues are fully accessible.

Play competitively as a member of one of our many teams that play at all levels in the West of Scotland Leagues, Regional and National Competitions, as well as our annual Club Championships
Or as part of our Coaching Programme led by Tennis Scotland’s Coach of the Year 2016, Jonny Willcox, giving kids and grown-ups the opportunity to fulfil their tennis ambitions whatever they may be.
We have four Artificial Grass courts located off Viewpark Drive which has been our home for nearly 100 years.
We also have three brand new Artificial Clay courts located off Burnside Road, which formerly operated as Burnside Tennis Club until they became derelict.
Through our “Return To Splendour” Project, we raised the £250,000 needed to save and expand into these courts, with this wonderful new facility officially opened by Judy Murray in November 2017.
As part or our RLTC Project 100 we have started a project for a new clubhouse and add a covered court at Overtoun to give us three courts.

Our Children’s Holiday Camps are open to all.
Our ground-breaking sponsorship deal with McDonald's provides FREE tennis to hundreds of local schoolchildren.
This major sponsorship deal with McDonald's Rutherglen Franchise covers the cost of our Coaching Team delivering an expansive schools tennis programme on a sustained, long-term basis.
We also run regular Schools Tennis Festivals at RLTC as part of the McDonald’s sponsorship deal which gives hundreds of children the chance to play tennis.

We’re working with them to up-skill their staff so that they can lead fun tennis sessions for all their children.
Now we know not everyone has his focus, determination and skill but try out some of our classes to see if you can improve.
This is allowing players from all walks of life to enjoy tennis regardless of disability. With support from the Tennis Foundation we are able to subsidise new specially adapted wheelchairs for players, which has been a massive help.
