    There are tarmac ones in Westside adjacent BothárLeChéile

    Alternatively, use googleearth to find out which of your neighbours have one and ask them nicely :cool:

    +1 for Westside, there's 4 courts there and generally nobody using them.

    Out of interest - how much was it in the lawn tennis club?

    The "lawn" part of the name is a bit of a misnomer. They're astroturf courts with sand. Hurt like hell if you fall on them in shorts!

    Galway Lawn tennis club used to have a joining fee as well as yearly membership as far as I remember when friends used to play there.

    Also each time you play there is a court fee used to be €2 per hour and in winter you have to pay extra for flood lights.:( These extra charges are on top of yearly fee. Prices may have changed in last 18 months, friends stopped playing too expensive..
