RedClay Tennis Courts
RedClay® Court Installations by Prime Courts
At Prime Courts, we specialize in installing premium RedClay® tennis courts, bringing the renowned European playing experience to facilities across the United States. Our partnership with RedClay USA enables us to offer state-of-the-art court systems that are not only cost-effective but also require minimal maintenance.
Why Choose RedClay® Courts?
1. Superior Playability
RedClay® courts offer a premium playing experience preferred by both recreational players and professionals. The surface delivers consistent ball bounce and foot traction while being much easier on joints compared to hard courts—reducing long-term wear and tear on players' bodies.
2. Low Maintenance
RedClay® courts are engineered for simplicity and longevity. The rigid, porous base eliminates the need for regular rolling or compacting. Permanent plastic lines are embedded directly into the surface and require no repainting or upkeep.
3. All-Weather Durability
Thanks to its porous structure, RedClay® drains quickly—virtually eliminating puddles and allowing play to resume immediately after rainfall. Its pervious design also prevents surface cracking and heaving common in hard courts due to temperature swings or moisture retention.
4. Extremely Durable and Impact Resistant
Unlike post-tension concrete slabs, RedClay® can withstand heavy impacts—even taking a hammer to it won't cause damage. If the surface is ever compromised, it can be easily repaired without costly renovations or tearing up the slab.
5. Long-Term Value
RedClay® courts have a longer lifespan than traditional hard courts. With proper care, major renovations aren’t needed for over 20 years. Annual topping maintenance costs are minimal (typically under $1,000), and refreshing the surface is as simple as tossing on new topping and smoothing it out.
6. Indoor Innovation
Indoor RedClay® courts utilize a specially treated top layer that maintains consistent moisture without the need for watering—an industry first that ensures optimal conditions all year round.
7. Hail- and Crack-Proof Resilience
Where traditional surfaces are vulnerable to hail damage or cracking, RedClay® is both hail-proof and crack-proof. This unmatched resilience makes it ideal for regions with variable weather.
