I’ve had some of my most memorable times here, with good friends. The events offered for my kids when they were young are so fun for the whole family. I’ve really enjoyed being a member for 10+ years.

For years I have searched for an advanced club that brings my skills to a new level. This is the first one that I have found. The tennis classes with Sam are excellent. Thank you so much!

I love the tennis classes that the club offers. I play cardio tennis several times a week and it’s improved my game, and in a fun way, having laughs all the way through. I’ve also met a ton of new people in the community, it’s been a fun way to socialize and meet my neighbors.

How The Neighborhood Club Began

In the Fall of 1890, five men, all interested in the game of lawn tennis, held a meeting for the purpose of making plans to organize a club, to build tennis courts and a club house. At this meeting it was suggested that each one of the original five men invite five other men to attend a meeting. The 30 West Newton residents met and organized The Neighborhood Club.
