The courts will be open from Thursday to Saturday from 8.15am to 2pm in its first phase of reopening since the lockdown was introduced four weeks ago.
One-on-one games - or doubles play for people from the same household - is permitted, equipment is available for first-time players and private lessons are on offer.
"We are very fortunate that we are able to manage tennis safely while following the NSWTA guidelines that are compliant with the public health order," Club Evolve managing director Sonia Close said.
"Tennis is a great way to get some exercise during this period.
"All COVID-safe procedures will be followed precisely and coordinated by one of our COVID marshals."
The club's coffee shop, Kiosk, will be open for takeaway coffee and toasties.
