'''Calcutta South Club''' is a historic [[lawn tennis]] club and tennis training centre in [[Kolkata]], [[India]]. The Club is on Woodburn Park Road beside Woodburn Park, located adjacent to the [[Bhawanipur Education Society College]].<br />
<br />
The Club was established in 1920 to provide a tennis venue for all communities within the city. In 1959, it was made into a [[Ltd.]] company where the members are its shareholders. In addition to its six historic grass (lawn) courts, over time the Club added six clay (1985) and five asphalt-based rubberized courts (2004), making it one of the few clubs worldwide providing all three surfaces for play.<ref>{{cite web |title=History |url=http://calcuttasouthclub.com/about/history/ |website=Calcutta South Club |access-date=28 June 2021}}</ref> <br />
