Where to Play Tennis
Tennis is still the most widespread racquet sport in Czechia and the one with the most courts. What sets clubs apart is mainly the surface and whether you can play there in winter too.
Surfaces and how they differ
Clay is slower, the ball bounces higher and it is easier on the joints, but after rain it is off limits for a while. A hard court is faster and more predictable and is played on all year round indoors. Artificial grass with sand sits somewhere in between and is usual on outdoor courts that get covered by a hall in winter.
Summer and winter
Outdoor clay finishes around October. After that you play in halls, either permanent ones or pressurised domes inflated over the summer courts. Winter prices tend to be higher than summer ones and slots go sooner, because there are many times fewer covered courts.
What to bring
Shoes to match the surface, with a herringbone sole for clay. Tennis players usually bring their own racquet, but clubs tend to hire them out too. Balls are sold at reception; at some clubs they are included in the court price.

FAQ
How many players fit on one booking?
You book the whole court, so it is up to you whether you play singles or doubles. The price is per court, not per player.
What if it rains?
Outdoor clay cannot be played on in the rain and clubs handle it differently, usually by moving the slot. Each club sets its own refund rules and you see them at booking, before you pay.
Can I book a court for an hour and a half?
Yes. On Raqueta you choose between 60, 90 and 120 minutes depending on what the club has free.
