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.

****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.
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 I played tennis there as a kid and the lawn bowling lanes have been replaced by beach volleyball courts - so it's pretty lively during the Summer weekday nights.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.
Kids have fun but day camp counsellors are not organized. Children need time and encouragement to put on sunscreen and hats after swimming and no effort is made to do this. My daughter came home with a sunburn every day she was there. This is a basic requirement in this age group,and the first day camp I have sent my child to that ignores the importance of sunscreen.
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.
