Squash Courts

[saint_stevo]

Anyone know of any squash courts/clubs in the Hedge End/Southampton/Eastleigh area?

 

Have been playing at Fleming Park but its usually pretty busy and the courts are tatty

St marys leisure centre is nothing special but as long as you book a few days ahead you can usually get a court ok.

I play at St Marys. Absolute dive but you only need a court so it is passable.

Does Chamberlayne have them? It's fairly new, I think, so they are probably in decent condition.

[hypochondriac]

No idea. I have no idea why squash isn't more popular though. It's a much better game to play then tennis for example. Even with a novice playing squash you can have a semi competitive game and it's easy to pick up.

Chamberlayne don't have squash http://www.activenation.org.uk/UserFiles/Chamberlayne%20Prices.pdf

 

According to google there is a 'Fair Oak squash club' anyone a member?

You could become a member of the Uni's sports facilities - £320 for 12 months (public prices, if you have a relative etc at the uni you get it cheaper) which applies to all the things listed on the website below:

There are 4 squash courts here btw Steve.

What about the old AC Delco Sports and Social off Stoneham Lane (think it's now called Stoneham Park or something).

 

I used to play squash up there a few years back.

Not sure if you can still join but Trojans down Stoneham lane has super squash courts.

 

could be worth a Google.

I used to play at Trojans with a friend who was a member and I agree the courts there are very good.

 

I didn't join as I was already a member of Fleming Park, but I THINK it would have been about £100 to join and then the courts were something like £1/10 mins.

 

It depends when you play but courts were always free at lunch times. And, if you're good enough or you have an ego the size of a house, you can play in one of the courts with glass back walls whilst spectators watch from the seating area behind you.
