Merchiston Tennis & Bowling Club

Set along Polwarth Terrace in southwest Edinburgh, Merchiston Tennis & Bowling Club provides an active sporting base with deep roots in the local community. The club features three floodlit all-weather synthetic grass courts alongside an outdoor lawn bowling green. These artificial turf surfaces drain effectively, ensuring reliable tennis conditions across all four Scottish seasons. The club community balances recreational play with competitive sport, entering teams into the East of Scotland Tennis leagues while hosting organized weekly social mix-ins for members of all standards. Coached group sessions, beginner tennis clinics, and junior academies run throughout the week, led by qualified tennis professionals. Court reservations and session sign-ups run smoothly through the ClubSpark online portal. While court access is primarily structured around membership, non-members can join coaching camps, holiday clinics, and designated open club sessions throughout the year.
