THE CLUB

In a few words...

The Tennis-Club de Nyon, founded in 1933 and based in Bois-Bougy since 1970, is constantly developing and modernising. It is regarded as one of the leading tennis clubs in French-speaking Switzerland, both in terms of its infrastructure and the quality of its tennis training. 


Highly appreciated by members and visitors alike, not least for its beautiful setting outside the town and its pleasant atmosphere, the club is constantly growing.


The TCN has over 900 members - including around 400 juniors - of various nationalities, languages and cultures.


The TCN has 17 courts: 14 outdoor courts, 9 of which are clay, 4 ‘somclay’ and 1 hard, as well as 3 indoor courts in GREENSET comfort. Since November 2012, a bubble has been installed on 4 clay courts in winter.


Our welcoming restaurant with its magnificent sunny terrace offers a varied menu 7 days a week all year round.


Loyal partners support the Club financially and enable us to invest regularly in our infrastructure.

Renowned tennis training (group or individual lessons) is provided by 8 tennis coaches and 2 physical trainers.


A programme of training courses with highly competent and motivated coaches is available.


Well-known players regularly train on our courts (Stan Wawrinka, Elina Svitolina, Gaël Monfils, Garbine Muguruza, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Donna Vekic).

The Nyon Tennis Club is always a great place to get together - in the Club-House, on the courts or at social events - with old and new members, young and old, at all levels.
