Stoke Park, the luxury 5 AA Red Star Country Club, Spa and Hotel, has opened two Padel courts to their award-winning sports facilities.

In doing so Stoke Park becomes the first 5 Star Hotel to have Padel courts in the UK and is the only club in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire to have this facility.

Stoke Park’s tennis members will have access to the Padel Courts, as will guests staying in the hotel.

Although first introduced to the UK in 1992, Padel has been played for over 100 years and has become a sporting phenomenon throughout many Hispanic nations including Spain, Mexico and Argentina.

Tom Murray, Marketing Director from British Padel commented: ‘We are delighted that Stoke Park has become a member of British Padel and have added padel courts to their wonderful facilities. To have such a prestigious venue joining the association gives a huge boost to our key objective of this year, which is for Padel to achieve official sporting classification in the UK. We currently have 55 padel courts in the UK, and now with these two additional courts at Stoke Park, it really is helping the popularity of the sport.’

Chester King, Chief Executive of Stoke Park added: ‘We are very excited to be adding Padel to our Health and Racquet facilities at Stoke Park, which also include 13 tennis courts (6 Wimbledon Spec Grass, 3 Indoor and 4 Floodlit Artificial Clay).  Padel is a brilliant game and we are looking forward for our tennis members and hotel guests to be able to enjoy.’
