Jimmy Evert Tennis Center — Local services in Fort Lauderdale

Pros: Plenty of courts...Most of the Teaching Pros are fantastic...courts are usually in very good condition...if you want to play singles or doubles you usually can get a court and often times find someone else looking to play.

Cons: Most evening clinics start at 6:00pm very difficult to make it on time for anyone who works...They constantly cancel clinics often last minute, even if you reserve a spot in advance for the clinics their staff never bother to call to inform you they cancelled the clinic (even if you wasted money on a membership)...If they don't have enough pros they cancel the clinics, clinics are only 1 hour...If you want to reserve the ball machine good luck figuring out when is the right time to call ahead to reserve the machine...if you are the first one to use the ball machine you spend easily 10 minutes setting it up (if not more) and you only get it for 1 hour...I could go on and on.

Bottom Line: Save your money... there are better...

My wife and I were visiting Fort Lauderdale and thoroughly enjoyed this facility until the last evening. The staff here is welcoming, friendly and accommodating. You can’t easily find a game tho. I must relate how disappointing the last evening was. My wife joined the Friday night round robin with Luisa. We walked in to the pharm up session and she was coldly directed to last courts to warm up with these rude,degrading men. She was one of two women out of 20 players. These guys wailed balls at each other and occasionally wailed one at her. She was so disappointed, we left after warm up. This behavior was unacceptable. Finally, we get a text from Luisa trying to find my wife explaining she was scheduled to play with 3 other women. This all would have been avoided if Luisa greeted my wife warmly and took 1 minute to explain the format. Really left a bad taste in our mouth. Staff and people in the day time...

This local tennis institution needs some capital improvement but with the city of Fort Lauderdale struggling with much needed improvement in its sewage system the Parks Department may have to wait unless the are able to reallocated federal covid funding.

21 courts with 4 hard courts and a dedicated ball machine court along with two hitting walls. A lot of the tennis clinics are in the morning or early evening which doesn't leave much time for working people to play it seems the club is geared for senior programming.

The park has a lot of modern athletic fields and a new pickle ball facility that put the tennis center to shame but its still a great place to visit with a lot of...
