About Us
Nahant Tennis Club
The Nahant Tennis club is about community, accessibility and the love of the sport. It is run by a group of dedicated volunteers and your membership fees go directly back into maintaining the courts and facilities. Our fees are kept low to keep the sport accessible and make everyone feel welcome!
History
The Nahant Courts are located on the grounds of the Nahant Country Club, the historic 1800's homestead of the Tudor Family. Nahant was the site of the first game of tennis played in America in 1874.
