Wilchester Club Information

The recreational amenities of Wilchester and Wilchester West have been owned by the Wilchester Club since the development of the subdivisions during the 1960s.

Three pools – a competition pool with a 1-meter diving well and a rock pool, both with water slides plus a baby pool – are located on the SE corner of the intersection of St. Mary’s and Yorkchester.

Three tennis courts and the park are located at the SE corner of the intersection of Memorial and Wilcrest.

All home owners of record of Wilchester and Wilchester West are members of these facilities and pay for maintenance and/or any renovations via their annual homeowner's association fees.

Wilchester Club directors are elected by all homeowners, and are directly responsible to them.

The Wilchester men are even more active with five men’s teams: Memorial League B-1, B-2 and B-3 that play on alternate Saturday mornings; a USTA 4.0 Doubles team that plays Thursday nights and a Monday night Houston Tennis Association 4.0 Singles team. Most Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings are reserved for men’s practice if there are no matches.

Fun mixed doubles is played on various Saturday nights September through May. These are BYOB and BYO appetizer tennis events – try one of these evenings out! This is a great way to meet your neighbors.
