TENNIS

The Tennis Section of Ido Ekiti Country Club is the largest, busiest and by far the most developed section of the club. With registered membership of 442 people, the section continues to receive an ever increasing proportion of new entrants into the club yearly. It occupies an area which accounts for well over a quarter of total land space of the club. It is an environment that is well planned and that has remained well-groomed over the years to the delight of members and visitors. It has two main buildings, a section building and an international standard tennis viewing pavilion. The section can accommodate 562 comfortably seated Tennis enthusiasts during any tournament.

The pride of the section is of course the playing courts. The section has six courts – two hard courts, four clay courts, and a standard practice court. The clay is a unique turf because of the slower moving nature of the balls, its softer on the kneels and tends to encourage members to play more and for longer years. The only clay court in Ido and of course the best maintained in West Africa. The Section have over the years hosted some of the most celebrated national and ATP international clay court tournaments played in Nigeria like John Player Classics, Nigerian Open, Rainoil National Open, Quadrangular games and other ATP point awarding matches.

The section is ever a beehive of activities as members and visitors get engaged with several tournaments during the course of the year. From annual title sponsored tournaments to American tournament to impromptu and special occasions' tournaments. The Tennis Section is busy all year round. No wonder Tennis Section is the In fact it is the heartbeat of the club.
