The Best Tennis Clubs in Victoria

Ranked by member reviews and verified facilities · Updated July 2026

Victoria offers a diverse range of tennis clubs featuring both indoor and outdoor courts, varied surfaces, and programming to suit all player levels. Wilkinson Sport Tennis stands out for its combination of indoor and outdoor courts and a well-organized coaching program led by Coach Craig, praised for fostering strong junior development and competitive teams within a friendly community atmosphere. Players appreciate the hassle-free registration and quality lessons, though kids' programs may occasionally become crowded. Oak Bay Tennis Club caters exclusively to members on a waitlist, boasting scenic, well-maintained outdoor hard courts and a welcoming clubhouse, though its private nature limits drop-in access.

While player feedback is limited, its mixed access options and event variety make it notable. Meanwhile, Saanich Tennis Club features two outdoor plexi-paving courts, open to the public, with active junior lessons and social events, though lighting is not available, and details on amenities are sparse. Together, these venues showcase Victoria’s tennis scene with options balancing membership, coaching quality, court surfaces, and community engagement.
