Freed from the thoughts of winning,
I instantly play better.

It was difficult keeping the membership together with play at several different locations so through the 1980s the club investigated the possibility of constructing its own courts. There was even chatter and hope for the addition of outdoor courts at the Cedar Hill Recreation Center the plans never materialized. It was at the 1989 AGM where the executive was directed to explore the possibility of procuring courts for the club.

The tennis courts on Viewmont Avenue had a unique set-up between BC Hydro (who owned the land and initially constructed the courts) and the municipality of Saanich (who leased the courts along with walking trails and nearby park space from BC Hydro). In Spring 1990 BC Hydro, the municipality of Saanich, and the Saanich Tennis Club came to an agreement which allowed STC to take over the operation and maintenance of the Viewmont Tennis courts.

The new agreement permitted STC to build and maintain a small clubhouse on the site and required that a certain number of weekly court hours were available for public use.

Court improvements (i.e., new nets & winders, locks and plexi-paving the surface) commenced quickly and the clubhouse was constructed in 1993. With thanks to donated labour from the Fairey Technical School and a grant from the BC Lotteries Branch.
