Introduction

Lake Valhalla Club, located in Montville, NJ, is a private tennis and swim country club.  Membership is not limited to Montville residents. In order to join the club, an application must be filled out and returned to the main office.  The application will be reviewed by the membership committee and finally approved by the Board of Directors.

Lake Valhalla Club is centered around a serene 90 acre lake surrounded by forest and mountains.  On your visit, take advantage of the scenery, enjoy the attractive grounds and tour the facilities.

The Tudor style clubhouse, built in the 1930's, features a dramatic ballroom available for member functions and weddings.  Within the clubhouse, the dining room and the bar area are designed to take full advantage of the lake view. A separate pavilion offers a snack bar for casual dining during the summer months.

The professionally landscaped 40 acres of club property provide a spectacular setting for the sports enthusiast.  There are five Hard-Tru tennis courts, two asphalt courts and two paddle tennis courts.

Softball and Volleyball players enjoy a three season schedule.  The rustic boathouse and docks provide a quiet retreat for the sailors, and the playground and picnic grove are the scenes of many childhood memories.

Lake Valhalla Club is a year round facility.  The spring season begins as soon as the courts and fields are playable.  Summer is welcomed with a picnic in the grove and a carnival for the children.  Summer also presents a full range of activities, such as swimming from the beach or docks, tennis tournaments and open play, and yacht club races.  For the children, there are swimming lessons and tennis teams.  And for their parents, an opportunity to relax on the "green chairs" or enjoy a Sunday night barbecue or dinner dance on the beach.  The fall brings Monday Night Football, the softball playoffs and volleyball.  Besides skating, ice fishing, and paddle tennis in the winter, enjoy dinner by the fire and holiday and social events.

We invite you to join us at the Lake Valhalla Club to experience our fine facilities and friendly atmosphere.  To schedule a tour, or request an application, please contact us.
