Our story · Since 1925

A century of play.
A place to belong.

Belgrave’s story began in 1925. Generations have met here for tennis, friendship and the pleasure of a good game. Today, that same club spirit welcomes a new generation of pickleball players.

A leafy Hatfield setting, a licensed bar, snacks and live sport give you plenty of reasons to stay after your match. And when the lights go down, our glow court brings a different kind of energy.

A living club history

The story is in the people.

The centenary account described Belgrave’s original clubhouse as still in use, a familiar home for generations of players. Long-serving member Patricia van der Valk recalled the start of the junior tournament in 1947 and the club’s commitment to developing young players.

“Dit is ook steeds ’n sosiale klub.”

Still a social club. A thread that connects our earliest days with the Belgrave of today.

Players in the club’s story

From Hatfield to the world stage.

The centenary feature recalls club players including Grand Slam doubles winners Danie Visser and Christo van Rensburg, Davis Cup players Tucker Vorster and Christian Worst, Wimbledon competitor Paul Avis and Federation Cup representative Andrea Oates.

The junior tournament

A place for emerging talent.

Players who competed in the club’s junior tournament included Danie Visser, Wayne Ferreira, Amanda Coetzer and Marcos Ondruska. The article also recalls future cricket captain Kepler Wessels winning an under-16 title at the tournament.

Inside the clubhouse

Our history, on the walls.

Team photographs and honour boards preserve the faces and names of Belgrave’s tennis community.
