Pros
- Sports anytime – Anytime you want to host a pickup game of tennis the facilities are just a stone’s throw away.
- Social draw – If you have an athletic friend, a home tennis court may draw them over.
Cons
- Dedication to tennis – If you are not entirely sure that you will use a tennis court on a regular basis for the foreseeable future you may want to consider another option. A backyard tennis court is a large commitment to space as well as money. To make the endeavor worth it you will want to get a lot of use out of it.
- Maintenance – There are different finishes that you can have on your tennis court but all require maintenance. Maintenance can cost money and take time.
Building a tennis court starts between $40,000 and $45,000 for your basic court. The average cost for a tennis court runs closer from the mid $50,000s to low $60,000s. Higher end courts are often post-tensioned.
With this method you can expect to be looking at a cost closer to the low $100,000 range. However, these numbers are just an estimate. There are multiple factors that can alter cost.
These factors include site condition, the surface applied to the court, and any accessories added to the court. Of course, there are also upkeep costs to fix cracks and other damages to your court. Depending on the severity of your winter this may or may not be an issue. (Source: Concrete Network)

If your court is further away from your home you may need a path to it. Decorating these paths with trees and flowers can make the walk to and from your court very pleasurable.
If your space is large enough you may not need fences or gates; a ball can only bounce so far. With large enough trees you can also benefit from some shade on your court. A shady court can keep you cool and in the game longer.
If your court is close enough, your patio can act as a grandstand. Your family and friends can be comfortable on the patio while watching the game. What could be better during a game than refreshments close by?
