United Services Recreation Club

General information

The secret is out...

Conveniently nestled in central Kowloon, yet veiled by its rich flora, is the United Services Recreation Club. Located mere steps from the hustle and bustle of Jordan, the club is situated in a uniquely lush, park-like setting featuring superb sporting and recreational facilities for individuals or the whole family.

A pristine oasis of peace and relaxation within nearly two hectares of tree-shaded space; its where the modern and the traditional comfortably mingle among banyan and bamboo.

Club members and their guests relax and entertain in a setting of casual elegance. Accented by preserved colonial-accented architecture -- the club was founded in 1911 -- the main building retains a comfortable ambience enhanced by old-world high ceilings and hardwood floors. With large picture windows offering perfect views of the club's swimming pools and rich greenery, simply soaking in the atmosphere becomes its own recreational pursuit.

Service - it can start a tennis game or present a poolside martini...

The club offers a wide abundance of sports, activities, events and services for every age and inclination, all managed by a friendly and professional staff. For most sports and activities, classes or coaching is available from experienced and knowledgeable trainers.

At the heart of the club are three outdoor swimming pools: one for infants, one for toddlers and a full adult-sized facility, all with lawn space aplenty. Steps away are four floodlit tennis courts, air-conditioned squash courts, and a luxurious lawn bowling pitch recognised as one of the finest playing fields in Hong Kong.

Inside the clubhouse is a meticulously restored billiards room with a full-sized table. Children's activities abound, with designated indoor and outdoor play areas, supervised playgroups and other stimulating offerings.

From savoury snacks to inspired indulgence...

Whatever your tastes, we have the recipe. Whether it's a table for three or a function for 300, our food and beverage cater to all your needs, offering premium service along with some of Kowloon's finest culinary creations.

The club's first-rate kitchen staff numbers some of Hong Kong's top chefs, specialising in superb Cantonese, Western and Indian.
