Nestled on the edge of Saddleworth Moor, Tame Valley Squash & Tennis Club is a hidden sporting gem where fresh Pennine air meets a warm community vibe. From the moment you step onto Greenbridge Lane, you sense a club run by passionate locals rather than a faceless leisure chain. Three squash courts echo with friendly rallies, the outdoor tennis courts boast championship-grade surfaces, and an airy lounge overlooks rolling hills—perfect for post-match banter. Whether you’re a beginner chasing your first forehand or an ex-county ace craving serious competition, this club blends top-tier coaching with genuine Northern hospitality.
