Honey Harbour Tennis Club 2024
The Honey Harbour Tennis Club is made up of Honey Harbour Association members. Established in the early 1970’s, the club has made a long-standing commitment to fostering a relaxed tennis environment in a stunning setting. It is an honour to be a partner alongside my colleagues on the HHTC Executive Committee who put in many hours of meeting time throughout the year to keep the club vibrant and well maintained.
Pickleball continues to grow in popularity across North America and Honey Harbour was no exception. With the addition of 6 outdoor pickleball courts in Honey Harbour (in town) last fall, 2024 is shaping up to be a great year.
We are seeing an increase in attendance by guests at the HHTC courts, reflecting the growing enthusiasm of our members to share our beautiful setting. The courts were refurbished in 2022 and we are in fundraising mode for a full rebuild within the next 6 - 8 years: a necessary expense to keep the tradition alive for our next generation.
Membership has expanded over the last three years and we are at capacity for 2024. Interested families are welcome to join our wait list. Please email honeyharbourtennis@gmail.com to get on the list.
Sadly, we lost a good friend and an enthusiastic Tennis/Pickleball player earlier this year, Angela Wright. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family. Last fall, we also lost Terry Ukrainec, who was a long-time member of our club and had worked countless hours over many years as a member the HHTC Executive Committee. The HHTC will be making separate donations to the Georgian Bay Land Trust in each of their names.

TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL DROP-INS
Allez! Monday and Friday ‘Drop-ins’ have been generating less interest and we are asking our members to reignite this long-standing tradition. The 'Drop-ins’ are a great way to meet some new playing partners and neighbours on The Bay.

HONEY HARBOUR TENNIS CLUB ATTIRE
Our new clothing line, launched in 2023, was a big hit. We have attractive hats, t-shirts, and long-sleeve t-shirts with the beautiful Honey Harbour Tennis Club logo. Contact one of our committee members to find out how to grab your Honey Harbour Tennis Club swag.
