Tennis
Horseshoe Bend CC opened in 1974 and gained prominence in the tennis community in the early 1990’s when it was selected as the site of the AT&T Challenge where tennis stars Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, and Michael Chang competed. HBCC tennis received another boost following an expansive transformation of the tennis facilities in 2015. That year the United States Tennis Association (USTA) recognized the new facility with their Outstanding Facility Award!
Today, the Horseshoe Bend CC facility offers 13 full-size outdoor courts, with 7 Deco Cushion hard courts and 6 clay courts, 2 of which are European red clay! In addition to these courts HBCC offers the Pickleball Paddock, three regulation pickleball courts! Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the country, and the HBCC membership has shown great interest in this fast-paced game!
The Horseshoe Bend CC Tennis Facilities are managed by Universal Tennis Management (UTM), a nationally recognized leader in Tennis Management and Instruction.
