    Our story

    A club built on long friendships and longer rallies

    Margalla Tennis Club began the way the best clubs do — a handful of players, one court, and an understanding that the game is better shared. Mornings belong to the early risers and the mist on the hills. Evenings belong to the juniors, the doubles regulars, and whoever is willing to stay for one more set.

    We are, above all, a family club. Grandparents hit with grandchildren here. Members who arrived as beginners now run our championships. What we protect is not exclusivity but character: courtesy on court, honesty in line calls, and a welcome for anyone who takes the game seriously and themselves lightly.

    In their words

    What members say about Margalla

    Residents, juniors, diplomats and officials share the same three courts — and, more often than not, the same pot of tea afterwards.

    • I joined for the courts and stayed for the people. Within a month I had a standing Tuesday doubles game and three new friends in the neighbourhood.
      Ayesha KarimMember since 2019
    • My daughter started in the junior group barely able to rally. Two seasons later she reached the club final. The coaching here is patient and properly structured.
      Faisal MehmoodFamily member, F-6/3
    • As a diplomat posted to Islamabad, this was the easiest way into the city. Nobody asks where you are from — only whether you can take the deuce court.
