TENNIS
The Killarney Country Club has 8 all weather tennis courts of which three are floodlit. We also have a Pro Shop which deals with all the tennis and squash related items and services such as stringing etc.
There are various amounts of leagues played during the year. This includes summer and winter leagues where junior, senior, ladies, men’s and a mixed league are offered. We are lucky in that there are many different club levels and therefore all new members are guaranteed to fit in. Our first team has competed in the Bundes league for the last 8 years and has always faired well. The juniors have also finished in the top 2 teams in Johannesburg in the last 5 years.
Social tennis is organised on Sunday mornings from 9:30 through to 12:30, where committee members mix the various combinations up. There are once a month braai’s on Sunday please chat to your committee members for details. Saturday there is also social, however this is not organised social and members can play either singles or doubles. Tuesday nights are reserved from 7:30 ish for member’s floodlit tennis.

The academy coaches mainly elite juniors and offers private lessons and a various amount of different level squads. Several members have lessons at the club and feel free to chat with Charles himself, or any of the 3 assistant coaches at the club.

SWIMMING POOL and PICNIC AREA
Deck chairs and chaise lounges on beautifully manicured lawns around the magnificent pool make the pool complex an ideal place to spend a relaxing weekend with family and friends. The pool is also big enough for serious swimmers to swim laps and get a serious swimming workout!
GYMNASIUM with Steam Room
A small but well-equipped gym that may only be used by club members, ensuring that it is never too crowded. The gym has a range of resistance and cardio training machines, including three exercise bikes, two treadmills, a bench press, various common resistance training machines and different barbell and dumbbell weights (and of course, a TV featuring M-Net and Supersport!).
Its very personal atmosphere and 'private gym' feel makes it ideal for the average person wanting to tone and get fitter in a quiet and exclusive atmosphere far removed from the noise and overcrowding of big commercial gyms.
The gym is also more than adequate for any serious athlete, as it features the presence of a professional personal trainer ready to give you a few free pointers during your workout or a session of personal training. Adequate changerooms include a steam room.
