Tennis in rural Utah stretches across the state — from Cedar City in the southwest to Moab in the red-rock southeast, up to Vernal in the Uintah Basin and Price in Castle Country. Play here is built on city park courts, high school programs and close-knit community tennis rather than big clubs, with Cedar City’s public courts and Iron County schools anchoring the largest of these markets. This guide covers the courts, events, adult play, high schools and the college pathways that serve rural Utah’s tennis communities.
