Our Club

We are a traditional members' squash and squash57 (a.k.a. racketball) club. We provide very high-quality facilities to our members, promote the sport in the local area, and are an active part of the Surrey squash community.

Squash is, above all, great fun to play. The health benefits of the game are well known: playing regularly increases physical fitness, strengthens the heart, improves agility and increases mental alertness. Squash is one of the most physically exerting of all sports—intense play can burn over 1000 calories an hour. But it is the competition, fun, and enjoyment of playing which hooks people into the game and keeps them coming back to play week-in, week-out, for their whole lives.

Like any competitive sport, the determination to improve and to win is a huge motivation factor, and one that is just not found with cardio machines. Squash is also very convenient—it can be played at any time of year, only needs two people, and fits into a lunch hour. Uniquely among racket sports, it can even be practiced solo.

Our club is run by people who enjoy playing squash (or racketball) and know first-hand the huge benefits that the game brings. We aim to provide the best facilities and experience to our members, to keep them enjoying and to promote this fantastic sport.

Our Facilites

Our clubhouse in Horsell contains three adjacent squash courts, a bar and viewing gallery upstairs, and changing rooms downstairs. All our facilities are free to use for members—so there are no court light fees or other per-game expenses. After paying your subscription, you can play as often as you like!

  • As an authentic squash club, our absolute top priority is our courts, and we take great pride in their appearance and upkeep. The court walls are lined with pristine Armourcoat plaster, and the floors are sanded maple boards laid on sprung joists (to reduce impact on players). We close the club for 5 days annually in order for the courts to be fully repaired and refurbished by squash court specialists—the floors are resurfaced, the walls and playlines are repainted, and the lights and other fixtures replaced. The courts are also swept and vacuumed daily.

    Our courts are always in tip-top condition, and a pleasure to play on.

    Features:

    • Glass balustrades to courts 1 & 2 (better viewing and increased sense of space)

    • Overhead heating installed on Courts 1 & 2

    • All courts sanded and freshly painted/overhauled on a regular basis

    • All courts have LED lighting and glass doors

  • Upstairs Bar Area

    Our bar is open Monday to Friday from about 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, and most Saturday afternoons when vets matches are played. The bar, if not staffed, will normally be available using an honesty system later in the evening. There is a large selection of bottled beers, soft drinks, and snacks on offer, all very reasonably priced.

  • This website and our booking system is mobile-friendly and has a number of features to help our members organise their squash:

    • We have partnered with bishbashbooked, the all in one club management system. Each member receives a login once they join, which can be used for court booking, team selections, messaging other users, box leagues and much more. The app is free to use and works on all devices.
