Tennis

Basin Harbor features two Har-Tru tennis courts on the south side of the harbor and two All-Weather Plexipave tennis and pickleball courts on the north side. These courts are available all season long, though the Har-Tru courts may be closed if too wet. From mid-June to Labor Day, our tennis staff offers skilled instruction with lessons and clinics for all levels and ages. Pickleball is also available. Looking to rent a high performance tennis racket? Demo rackets may be checked out at the front desk or Tennis Shop. Racquet restringing services are also available.
