Bitsy Grant Tennis Center

If you want true camaraderie, country club service, and mutual respect for the game without that crazy buy-in’s and sticker prices that come with some of the other places in Atlanta, than look no further than Bitsy Grant.
Some of the best Clay Courts in the city for the price. The club features both Hard Courts and Clay Courts with the parking lot between the two sets. Unless there is a tournament or special clinic going on during peak hours, I have never had problems getting a court without calling in a reservation.
The only times that I do call in is if I am playing with an out of town friend or someone with a busy schedule.
Also a true gem of Bitsy is the Friday Nigh Round Robin. The FNRR as it has been coined is a group averaging about 10 – 20 participants every friday night. If you call and reserve a spot you can guarantee a fun time. With «warm-​up» starting at 6:45pm the director is able to asses the players and place them accordingly.
Depending on the night and turnout, the director will either coordinate a true Round Robin (win move up, lose move down) style matchplay, or he will handpick doubles pairs and rearrange groups depending on their player skill-​level.
$ 15 for a single player or $ 25 for a couple (male & female) is a fair deal for the 2 hours of competitive play.
And trust me, there is a place here for players at every level. WIth ages ranging from the occasional high school player, to a handful of college aged players, all the way up to retired professionals.

This is my «home» tennis center. I’ve played several seasons of league tennis here and been coached by a few of the pros.
First, the location can’t be beat. I have yet to find another tennis center that is as convenient to my team as BGTC is. Since it’s right off of 75, it’s really easy to get to and also easy for opponents to find.
They have both hard and clay courts. I have played at a LOT of tennis facilities around Atlanta, and the only other clay courts I’ve seen are at private clubs. The clay courts are slightly more expensive than hard courts, but the cost may be worth it if you’re trying to take it easy on your joints.
The clay courts are up top, while the hard courts are down at the bottom of a hill, but luckily there is parking convenient to both sets of courts. You can usually call a day or two in advance and get a court reservation, but just a tip: if you’re playing a «match» it’s cheaper than playing by the hour. The rates at these courts are reasonable compared to other courts you pay for… not saying they are reasonable in general, but you’re not getting ripped off.
Since I play mostly on hard courts, most of my comments are about that area of the facility. They seem to do decent job of keeping up the courts, although for the past year or two they’ve been having issues with one or two of the lights being out. It wasn’t un-​playable, but if you were assigned one or two of the not-​as-​well-​lit courts, it definitely made it more difficult to play. Also, there are no restrooms nearby the hard courts; you have to walk up the stairs and around the clay courts to get to the clubhouse. Having restrooms near the hard courts would be a serious improvement; particularly since my opponents always want to use the restroom between warm-​up and playing, or between sets. A trip could take 15 minutes.
As for team play — I have captained probably 10 seasons of teams out of BGTC. The manager, Amy, does a great job of keeping captains informed and is hands down the most organized manager I’ve dealt with. I love that she is available by e-​mail and keeps my credit card on file so I don’t have to take the extra step of coming in the club house to pay. It’s also nice they let me pay for team matches and coaching week-​by-​week so that I don’t get charged if there’s a rain-​out. She also does a great job of rotating teams through the «good» courts for matches (the ones right next to the bleachers).
They event have a twitter account to update you on rain-​outs. I know not everyone uses twitter, but I appreciate that they are proactive about getting info out there (versus me having to call every 15 minutes for an update).
One other thing — they could really improve their round robins and probably get a great group going if they included food and beer in the price. The DTC round robin always has a wait list, it would be great for those wait-​listers to have another option.

Among the best soft (har-​tru) courts in the city. Everyone sweeps their courts when they’re done, providing you a fresh court for play. There are 13 soft courts, and at least 8 hard surface courts. All levels of play.

City park with great facilities and good instruction if you want it.
These are our home courts for a couple team I play on. They are some of the best you can find ITP. They have both clay and hard courts with plenty of lighting for those dark time matches. Not sure of the pricing of courts by the hour however I am sure it is competitive to the other tennis centers in the ATL.
Remember these are public courts, so no booze. However their a plenty of options down the street.

excellent clay and hard courts, both recently resurfaced.
will be even better when they renovate clubhouse.
