TENNIS CARD INFORMATION

We are happy to announce our Tennis Courts are NOW OPEN after having a complete facelift. That being said there is a new process in place for your tennis cards to be activated. If you currently have a tennis card YOU MUST fill out a Tennis Card Registration Form to have THAT card activated (and all HOA fees paid up to date). There is NO FEE for existing tennis cards to be activated when turning in your form. THIS FORM MUST BE FILLED OUT YEARLY, this is to insure that our current residents in Winchester Country are the ONLY RESIDENTS with access to the tennis courts. If you are requesting a tennis card for the first time or need a replacement card there is a $10 fee that you must attach to your Tennis Registration Form. You may put your Form with $10 in the mail slot located at the clubhouse / pool to the left of the gate under the bulletin board. You will be mailed a card that will automatically at that time be activated (providing all fees are up to date).

You may obtain a registration form on our web-site @ www.Wincheter Country.org; they are also in our monthly newsletter. If you have any questions please contact Joanna @ 281 890-8856.
