Platform Tennis
During the winter months, Wentworth offers two well-maintained paddle tennis courts with lighting for night play. The tennis pro shop has paddle balls in stock and we can special order the paddle racquet of your choice. To make a court reservation up to 6 days in advance, please go online or call the Sports Center at 610.0183. Please see Chris Stevens with any paddle related questions.
The paddle courts will be open starting October 12 after 6:30pm only, due to the golf course being open and the danger of flying golf balls into the paddle area. Once the golf course closes in late November, the paddle courts will be open throughout the day.

Paddle Rules & Regulations
- Until the golf course closes, the platform tennis courts will only be open after dusk. Once golf is over and the road to the Sports Center opens, paddle play will be allowed during the day, and night. Night play must end by 10:00pm when the lights automatically are turned off.
- Court reservations can be made online (same as tennis) by going to www.wentworthbytheseacc.com, click tennis, click court scheduler and then put in your user name and password. You can also call the Sports Center at 610.0183 for reservations or questions. Members can make a reservation 6 days in advance and book in 2 hour increments.
- All members must sign-in, inside the warming hut. If playing with guests, please print their names in the appropriate column. Each court of play must contain at least one member.
- The fee per guest is $10 which will be charged to the member's account. The same individual guest may play at the club a maximum of twice in any one month period.
- Members/guests ARE NOT ALLOWED to bring outside alcoholic beverages onto this property. There are no exceptions. Please do not violate this rule. It is State Law and our club's liquor license depends on strict adherence to the New Hampshire liquor laws.
- Shovel snow from courts with plastic shovels before turning on heaters. Use heaters only to melt the last remnants of snow or ice.
- Do not use the heaters for the purpose of "warming" the courts or the players. Overuse of heaters causes serious risk of fire or explosion.
- Do not use salt - it damages the non-slip finish.
- Do not slam or crash into wire walls - it loosens them and causes indentations.
- Violations of any of these rules will result in loss of court privileges.
- Surveillance cameras are in use.
Please do your part to see that no member or guest violates these regulations.
Thank You For Your Cooperation and Enjoy!
