The public tennis courts at Sugar Mountain are spectacular – some of the best in the NC Blue Ridge Mountains. Six courts, meticulously maintained of fast-dry, Har-tru clay, are wildly popular from May through October. Men’s, women’s, and mixed play “friendlys’’ can be found every day of the week. Like our golf course next door, the tennis facilities are open to everyone, either on a pay as you go basis, or economical season pass options. And don’t forget the cool summer temps and the mountain views!
CLOSED Oct 26, 2020 for winter season. See you in May 2021!
