The club was founded in 1974 by the local GP Dr C R Harrison together with other interested residents of the locality and in 1976 work began with the official opening in 1977.  The generosity of Eccleshall Castle estate in making land available on a lease enabled the building of the two hard courts with substantial parking area and then the clubhouse (second hand) was built in 1982.

Significant refurbishments to the clubhouse were undertaken in 2002 by the members and in 2004 the courts were re-surfaced and painted.  Lights were installed in 2005.

The fabric of the facilities is maintained by the members on a voluntary basis with specialist contractors engaged for court re-painting, cleaning etc.
