Yarbrough Tennis Center — Auburn’s Premier Tennis & Recreation Facility
Move to Auburn, and you’ll quickly realize our city takes athletics seriously—on campus and off. One of the crown jewels is the Yarbrough Tennis Center, a world-class facility run by Auburn University and the City of Auburn. Whether you’re a casual player or a competitive tennis enthusiast, Yarbrough is a hub for courts, clinics, and community.
A Facility Built to Impress
Located at 1717 Richland Road, Yarbrough Tennis Center boasts 34 courts in total: 16 outdoor clay courts, 12 outdoor hard courts, and 6 indoor hard courts—all lighted for night play. The indoor component offers over 33,000 square feet of covered space.
That mix of surfaces means flexibility year-round, rain or shine. Whether you prefer clay for slower rallies or hard courts for speed, Yarbrough provides both—and does so with quality lighting and maintenance.
Programs, Clinics & Play Opportunities
Yarbrough doesn’t just provide courts—it brings community through tennis:
-
Court fees: $3 for hard court, $5 for clay, $10 for indoor (for 1.5-hour sessions)
-
Memberships available so you can reserve courts and play without paying each time
-
City clinics for all levels: children’s clinics (Mon–Thu), adult groups, private lessons with approved pros
-
League play (USTA), singles ladders, tournaments, free-play matching City of Auburn
Recognized Excellence
In August 2025, the Yarbrough Tennis Center was honored with a USTA Outstanding Facility Award, distinguishing it among the nation’s top tennis facilities for its quality, programming, and community impact. That kind of recognition tells you this isn’t just local—it’s nationally respected.
