Welcome to Berkeley!
Founded in 1917, Berkeley Tennis Club is a diverse, friendly, non-profit (501-c7), member-owned tennis club in a quiet residential neighborhood in Orange, NJ located just minutes from NYC.
The club is one of the few remaining with authentic red clay courts. The six courts are meticulously maintained and are open daily from mid-April to the end of October (or beyond), weather permitting.
Click on the video link at the right to see what it's like to play tennis at Berkeley. You can also stop by to an open house and check out the club and players.
Please email us or see our FAQ page if you have any questions.
We'd love to see you out on the courts!
