Support the Russell Tennis Club

The new home of Russell Tennis Club and
Community Meeting Room.

Russell Tennis Club dates back to 1891 and has grown to be a thriving community club for people of all ages. Over the years its progressive membership has continually upgraded the courts to include all weather turf, fencing and lighting for evening games. The club is very near to completing the build of their new Club House which will also be available for the local community to use. With regular social games throughout the week and occasional tournaments it is a busy club with its focus on camaraderie central to the games of tennis and pickleball. 

It was clear that the club needed a facility where members can meet, watch the tennis, socialise and have bathroom facilities on hand. The Club House will also be a much-needed community asset for other groups
to utilise as required.

The famous biannual Russell House Tour is being held on the 18th April, 2026. This is a chance for you to see inside some of Russell’s premier homes, historic cottages, clifftop holiday homes, a Long Beach Bach, gorgeous classic boats and even a house-boat pad.

Tickets are available for $80 pp which allows entry to all homes.

A limited number of VIP tickets for $120 allows entry to not only all the homes but one very special architectural delight. You’ll be taken by minivan to this prestigious home, enjoy a glass of bubbles then returned to Russell for you to continue your House Tour.
