Our History
In 1909 the first court was constructed under the boughs of Como’s once-famous and majestic Royal Oaktree. The Royal Oak tennis club is one of the oldest tennis clubs in Canada. Founded over 110 years ago our private club is family-oriented, social, welcoming to all ages and levels, and is here for the love of the sport! Generations of local families have been club members here at the ROTC!
Dress Code
In keeping with our fine tradition players will wear respectable tennis attire while playing at the Royal Oak Tennis Club. Up to 20% of colour is permitted as part of the long established “tennis whites” dress code.
ROTC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 2023
The Club is managed by a group of volunteers that make up our executive committee.
We welcome new members to join the board or to contribute by assisting on a committee.

Mike and Denise both joined the ROTC in 2021 and look forward to shepherding the entertainment side of things of Royal Oak, especially the Friday night BBQs along with a host of willing volunteer sponsors this season.
