"Play begins at 9am every day, and Sunday will see the finals of the singles competition," Walker said.
"From there, it will roll into the singles finals before we get into the doubles on Monday and Tuesday.
"All of the matches have been played in good spirit so far and it has been very entertaining to watch."
Walker said the event was the latest in a string of high-profile events for the club.
"We recently hosted the state number three pennant titles and we have the state champion of champions tournament coming up in October," he said.
"It is nice to be able to play host to these kinds of events is just fantastic for a regional club like ours.
