San Antonio Tennis Clubs
San Antonio — the Alamo City and Texas’s second-largest — supports a year-round tennis scene that runs from grassroots public courts to elite collegiate competition. The city-operated McFarlin Tennis Center anchors public play with 22 lighted hard courts in San Pedro Springs Park, while private-club culture thrives in Alamo Heights and Shavano Park. San Antonio is also one of the few U.S. cities with college tennis at all four levels, led by Trinity University’s nationally decorated program. League and junior play runs through the USTA Texas Section, and the warm South Texas climate keeps courts busy all year. This guide covers San Antonio’s courts, events, adult leagues, high schools and college tennis.
