Best Tennis club in Canada

E	Emily MacIsaac on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The view and atmosphere on the patio is great. The servers are friendly and attentive, however they consistently run out of things. For example, cider (two occasions that I've been there).Also, they (server and kitchen staff) did not know what their veggie burger is made of either.
I	Immanuel Lanzaderas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The club is snooty and overpriced. The teenage staff are only ok. My old club had staff that would learn people's names and playing preferences. The courts are really roughed up, after 4pm from Monday to Friday (a function of being clay). With the volleyball crowds, most nights it's like trying to pass through an airport to get around. Not impressed at all with the atmosphere or people, and I was really looking forward to a busy, friendly atmosphere, which was the way it was described to me in the spring. The pub upstairs is kind of ghetto and dirty. The menu is like lousy pub food, but more expensive. Service is hit or miss, which often depends on how many volleyball teams are also ordering food and drinks. The bathrooms are sorely in need of renovation...and cleaning.
W	William Bradley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hidden gem in Ottawa. This summer tennis club was created in 1881 which is only 4 years older than Wimbledon. It has been at this location since 1921 on the bank of the Rideau River near Carleton University. Any tennis players should call to try to get a guest pass to play on the clay courts and the upstairs Cameron restaurant has an innovative pub-like selection of food and drinks which you can enjoy on the pleasant verandah overlooking the tennis courts. I've been a member for 22 year's so I'm biased but I love the place and I hope you do too.
T	Taylor Bennett on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice recreational facility. I played tennis there as a kid and the lawn bowling lanes have been replaced by beach volleyball courts - so it's pretty lively during the Summer weekday nights. There's a decent pub upstairs too, that's great for after-game drinks. It's a little dated in terms of design, very much function over design. However, I hear the whole facility is getting a facelift soon.
A	Alexei Gherman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I’ve only been here to play volleyball. The club hosts a variety of sports like tennis, lawn bowling and volleyball. It is a older club that offers a membership. Parking is horrible- the only option is street parking so give yourself lots of time to get there.
M	Matisse Touchard on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have just joined this year and already my experience has been really good. Amazing tennis courts, great staff. I just hope the patio can open soon once the government restrictions stop so I can enjoy a nice cold beer after a game of tennis.
E	Erwin Ruyter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ **WEDDING REVIEW ONLY** Extremely glad we chose the Ottawa Tennis and Lawn Bowling Club as the venue for our wedding. Price was very reasonable for the venue; it has such a nice cottage type feel to it and was just so relaxed. We had the ceremony down on the lawn, followed by the reception upstairs in the hall. Claire, the event and customer service manager, was lovely and helped us with anything we needed (lawn set up, hall layout, general logistics, etc.). Adrian, the owner of the Cameron (bar/restaurant upstairs) handled the bar side of things and was a beauty to work with. He was very accommodating and we were able to work out a great deal on the wine we wanted as well as the plan for drinks for the evening (open bar for two hours followed by a toonie bar for the rest of the night.) The Urban Element handles the catering and it was some of the best food we've had, wedding or otherwise. While they have a set menu, we were able to request whatever we wanted which was awesome (went for an Italian buffet with late-night poutine, fantastic). We would strongly recommend the club to anyone for a wedding. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our experience.
