Dictated to by phase one of the return to play framework, the club have decided to offer a one-month $15 membership to get as many people back playing as possible.
"We didn't want to discount members of the general public who want to play as well so we're working to include them by having a one-month membership," club president Ken Ho said.
"We think $15 is pretty reasonable given that it costs $10 to normally book the courts for one hour and you get to hit as many times as you want."

Set to be a one-time deal with the club already offering traditional family, adult, student and concession memberships, Ho said they may consider a full-time general public option in future years.
The one-month offer isn't the only shake-up to Trevallyn's system with the club adopting Skedda - an online booking system recommended to them by Newstead.
"It's been going quite well, we've had a few bookings now. We opened up on Sunday and we've had four bookings so far.
"We actually discussed this before COVID-19 but we never really had a driver to push it along and then COVID-19 came along and we needed to track the people using the courts and make sure that people weren't waiting around or there unnecessarily."
With three courts on offer, the program allows the club to specify their terms and conditions for each court, minimising any potential threat of spread.
The club's fourth court, which has gradually become unusable, is still on the radar to be upgraded despite the outcome of their grant application being "unfavourable" for the repair.
