I compiled this list of directions to Birmingham area tennis clubs so my team-mates could drive to them (that's why they always start at Brook Highland) but business visitors and tourists visiting Birmingham have told me this was very useful, so I am bringing it back online. Many clubs have since changed the names or closed down, but I haven't had a chance to update the list.
