Court Finder
Finding somewhere to play should not be the hardest part of your week. Court Finder is a free tool we built to map tennis courts across Arizona — searchable, filterable, and usable one-handed on your phone at a stoplight.

The “Near me” button is more reliable in the full-screen version, since browsers restrict location access inside embedded frames.
What is in it
Arizona currently has 1,276 tennis locations and roughly 4,100 individual courts mapped — including 60 locations in Scottsdale, 74 in Phoenix, 31 in Tucson, and more across Mesa, Chandler and Paradise Valley. Around 190 of those locations have pickleball courts too, and 137 are marked as lighted for evening play, which matters a great deal here from May onward.
What you can do
- Search by name or city — type “Scottsdale” or a park name and jump straight to it.
- Find courts near you — one tap sorts every location by distance in miles.
- Filter by what you need — lighted courts, playing surface, or a minimum number of courts if you are bringing a group.
- Switch between map and list — browse visually, or scan a sorted list with court counts and badges.
- Install it like an app — add it to your phone's home screen and it opens full screen, no browser bar.
A word on accuracy
Court Finder is built on OpenStreetMap, an open map of the world maintained by volunteers. That is what makes broad coverage possible, and it is also the tool's limitation: the underlying records are uneven.
Be aware of two things before you drive somewhere:
- Access is often unrecorded. Most locations do not say whether they are public, members-only, or belong to an HOA or resort. A pin on the map is not a promise that you can walk on and play. When in doubt, call ahead.
- Surface is usually unknown. Only a small fraction of Arizona records specify hard or clay, so the surface filter narrows to the ones we can confirm rather than showing everything.
If you spot something wrong — a court that no longer exists, a wrong location, the wrong number of courts — there is a report button on each location. Those reports genuinely help, and the data improves for everyone who uses it afterwards.
Why we built it
We have been fitting and stringing racquets in Scottsdale and Gilbert for over thirty years, and “where can I actually play?” comes up almost as often as questions about gear. This is our answer, and it is free, with nothing to sign up for.
When your strings need attention, both our shops are ready for you — and if you are not sure what tension suits your game, we wrote about how to choose that too.
