About us
A neighborhood club with a tournament heart — eight courts, four racket sports and a coaching team that knows every member by name.
Our story
The grove where Derby learns to play
Baseline Grove opened in 1998 with two clay courts and a second-hand ball machine. Twenty-eight years later we are home to 900 members — and the ball machine finally retired.
What never changed is the idea the founders painted on the clubhouse wall: tennis is a game you play for life, so a club should treat you like a member for life. Juniors who learned their first forehand here now bring their own kids to Saturday squads. League teams that started as beginners now contest state finals.
Today the Grove holds four clay courts, two hard courts, two squash courts, a table-tennis lounge and a badminton hall — plus the lockers, showers, stringing room and sunny terrace that make a club day feel like a small holiday.

What we believe
Three rules of the Grove
Court time first
Programs never crowd out member play. Two courts are reserved for open booking every evening, guaranteed.
Every age, every level
Five-year-olds, eighty-year-olds, first-timers and ex-college players all train side by side here.
Look after the place
Swept lines, watered clay, strung rackets back in 48 hours. The details are the membership.
