The USTA National Campus is a 64-acre tennis center at 10000 USTA Blvd in Lake Nona, Orlando, which opened on January 5, 2017. It has 98 lighted tennis courts across five surfaces, including 6 indoor courts, plus 4 padel courts and 4 pickleball courts. No membership is required: the public books courts online by the hour, up to 48 hours ahead. It is the headquarters of USTA Player Development and the home of UCF tennis, and it hosted the NCAA Division I Tennis Championships in 2019, 2021 and 2023. The USTA says the campus is about 10 minutes from Orlando International Airport.

Most people moving to Orlando don't expect to find one of the largest tennis facilities in the world in a residential community, open to anyone with a racquet and a booking. That's the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona.

Here's how many courts there are, how to book one, which events come through, and what it means to live nearby.

What is the USTA National Campus?

The USTA National Campus is the United States Tennis Association's 64-acre national training center in Lake Nona, known as the Home of American Tennis.

Construction began in April 2015, and the campus opened on January 5, 2017. It is the headquarters of USTA Player Development, which trains the country's top junior and professional prospects, and a training base for Team USA. The USTA describes it as possibly the largest tennis facility in the world.

How many courts does the USTA National Campus have?

The campus has 98 lighted tennis courts, including 6 indoor courts, plus 4 padel courts and 4 pickleball courts.

USTA National Campus courts
Tennis 98 lighted courts on DecoTurf, Plexicushion, Rebound Ace, Har-Tru green clay and European red clay
Indoor 6 Rebound Ace courts
Collegiate Center 12 Plexicushion courts with seating for about 1,200, home of UCF tennis
Padel and pickleball 4 padel courts and 4 pickleball courts in the Nemours Family Zone, opened in 2021

The mix of surfaces is the draw for serious players: you can practice on the same red clay or hard courts used by touring pros. The indoor courts keep play going through Florida's afternoon storms.

Can the public play at the USTA National Campus?

Yes. No membership is required; anyone can book a tennis, padel or pickleball court online by the hour, up to 48 hours in advance.

That pay-as-you-play model is different from the private-club system many newcomers are used to. The campus also runs adult clinics, junior programs, camps and leagues, from first lessons to the USTA's player development pathway. Check the campus website for current court rates and program schedules.

What tournaments are held at the USTA National Campus?

The campus hosted the NCAA Division I Tennis Championships in 2019, 2021 and 2023, and it will host them every year from 2028 through 2037.

In April 2024 it hosted the U.S. women's team for a Billie Jean King Cup qualifier against Belgium. It is also the year-round home of the University of Central Florida's men's and women's tennis teams, which play at the Collegiate Center. Spectators can often watch college matches and junior and pro events in person.

Pros, Cons and Our Take

Pros

  • Public, pay-as-you-play access to a national training center.
  • Five court surfaces, indoor courts, and padel and pickleball.
  • College and pro events you can watch in person.
  • About 10 minutes from the airport, per the USTA.

Cons

  • You pay by the hour, so frequent players should budget for court fees.
  • Prime-time courts book up inside the 48-hour window.
  • Tournament weeks bring extra traffic and can change hours.
  • Weekend hours end at 5 p.m.

Our Take

For a tennis family, living near the National Campus beats most private-club memberships on range of courts and programs. If you play several times a week, add up a month of hourly court fees and compare it with a private-club membership before deciding.
