Hop Brook Tennis Club
About Us
Hop Brook Tennis Club is rooted in a strong tradition of community and camaraderie. As a member-owned and member-run club, everyone plays a role in making it special. While the Board and committees help guide operations, all members contribute—whether maintaining the courts and grounds or organizing and self-catering social events. This shared spirit of participation sets Hop Brook apart and strengthens the bonds among our members.
Tennis
Our club features three Har-Tru tennis courts, offering a premium playing experience with a softer surface that’s easier on the joints and promotes longer rallies. Two of the courts are lit for evening play, making it easy to get in a match even after the sun goes down.
​
We offer a range of playing opportunities for all skill levels:
-
Leagues for competitive and social players
-
Private and group lessons with our experienced club pro
-
A lively annual Men's Night and Women’s Night—a great mix of fun, camaraderie, and solid tennis
-
A casual and fun Sunday Brunch Drop-In, open to all members – no partner needed
Whether you're looking to improve your game, meet new players, or just enjoy a relaxed hit on a beautiful day, our tennis program has something for everyone.
Platform Tennis
Our paddle program is a vibrant hub of activity, competition, and community. We have two lit, recently renovated paddle courts (2025), including one lined for pickleball to give members even more ways to play.
​
After your match, warm up and wind down in our cozy paddle hut—a popular gathering spot for socializing, snacks, and post-play laughs.
​
Major events on the calendar include the spirited Club Championship and the high-energy "Big Paddle" tournament, and the ever-popular Super Paddle Bowl, our festive Super Bowl–themed paddle night that blends friendly competition with game-day fun.
Throughout the season, members can enjoy:
-
Drop-in sessions for casual matchups
-
Hop-on-Top, our friendly rivalry against Hopmeadow Country Club
-
Greater Hartford Paddle League play, where we compete against clubs from across Connecticut
-
Lessons from our club pro for players looking to refine their game
-
A collection of demo paddles available to try before you buy
Whether you're here to improve, compete, or just enjoy the social side of paddle, there's a place for you on our courts.
