Tennis Anyone?

Scottsdale is a haven for tennis players at all skill levels, from local resident Victoria Azarenka, currently the #2 women's player in the world (originally from Minsk, Belarus), to the many young children learning the sport.  Scottsdale Parks and Recreation operates impressive tennis facilities at both Scottsdale Ranch Park and Indian School Park.  In addition to locals, hundreds of snowbird tennis players join us in the winter for some wonderful games, leagues and tournaments.  There are private courts owned by individuals, neighborhood courts often maintained by Homeowners' Associations, public courts at schools and parks. Many local country clubs have excellent facilities such as Desert Mountain Club, which features a beautiful stadium grass court, five clay courts and three hard courts.
