This is one of the best tennis centers open to the public in America! It's part of the Beaver Creek Club, but as a resort tennis center it is open to the public. Clinics, doubles play, Cardiotennis, fabulous private instruction. It's all there. Needless to say, it's tennis with one of the best views you could imagine as it's at the base of Beaver Creek ski terrain.

There are also great children and teen programs.

There are five har-tru courts and two hard courts. No lights, but who cares in summer when the sun stays up so late?

Reese Babcock is the head pro. He and Dave Alonzo run the programs and are great, personable instructors (Dave teaches the kids and he's awesome with them). There is also a tennis pro shop selling basics like balls (do not bring your own unless they are high altitude balls) and socks, and nice choices of clothes for men, women and kids. Tennis racquets are available for rent. There is a ball machine for rent on one of the hard courts.

I'm a local, so I play there all summer. I love it! Great way to meet new people. It's easy to park at the center or, if you're staying in the village you can walk to it or take the Dial-A-Ride shuttle bus.
