RANDY KING

Randy and his husband moved to Provincetown in the spring of 2017, and spent the next three summers here and traveled to other places during the winter months. They decided to make Provincetown their year-round home in 2019 after realizing their fondness for other places did not quite compare to their everlasting love for Provincetown.

OUR COURTS

The Provincetown Tennis Club features five green Har-Tru clay courts and two Omni (synthetic grass) courts. Players are required to sweep the courts, brush the lines, and remove all rubbish from the courts upon completion of play. Courts are available for reservation by members one week in advance. Guests are limited to four play sessions total during the months of July and August, not including lessons, clinics, and drop-in social doubles events.
