Courts, Communities, and Coaching
Find your court, meet a hitting partner, and make the most of a week of tennis just north of Austin. Five useful starting points for a first visit or a new routine:
The Tennis and Pickleball Complex has 17 lighted tennis courts at 3443 Aten Loop. Unreserved courts are first come, first served, but programs and leagues use substantial blocks. Check the city schedule (roundrocktexas.gov) or call 512-218-5540 before an evening visit.
Book the public Williamson County Tennis Center at 210 Borho Drive through RippnerTennis (rippnertennis.com). The posted fee is $4 per player, with reservations opening up to 48 hours ahead.
The Round Rock Tennis League (roundrocktennis.com) links to its WhatsApp group. Share your NTRP level, dates, preferred format, and available times.
The Round Rock Tennis Association (rrtennis.com) runs adult seasons and tournaments at Old Settlers Park. Its site has registration and contact information.
Mack Phillips Tennis Academy (phillipstennis.com) lists adult groups at $22 and private lessons at $65 per hour. RippnerTennis (rippnertennis.com) lists private lessons from $58 for 30 minutes.
For casual rallies and matches, introduce yourself through the Round Rock Tennis League and its WhatsApp group (roundrocktennis.com). For recurring doubles, leagues, and tournaments, try the Round Rock Tennis Association (rrtennis.com). For an Austin-area USTA team, submit your level to the Tennis Austin player directory (tennisaustin.org). Include your NTRP level or playing experience, preferred format, and a proposed court and time.
Use the RRTL WhatsApp link (roundrocktennis.com) before you arrive. Its organizers welcome friendly practice and list Old Settlers Park as a regular meeting place. Offer two or three time slots and say whether you want points or a rally. Once you have a partner, reserve WilCo (rippnertennis.com) or check the Old Settlers schedule (roundrocktexas.gov). Organized league courts are for that league’s players.
Book the public, paid Williamson County Tennis Center (rippnertennis.com) as each date enters its 48-hour window. For flexible play, use unreserved courts at Old Settlers Park (roundrocktexas.gov), with neighborhood parks as backups. The city does not publish a simple seven-day tennis pass or a tennis-court price on its complex page; call 512-218-5540 for current details. HOA and school courts are not dependable visitor options.
Register for a class or request a private session through Mack Phillips Tennis Academy (phillipstennis.com). At WilCo, choose an adult or junior program or book a coach through RippnerTennis (rippnertennis.com). The city lists youth programs and adult clinics through Round Rock Parks and Recreation (roundrocktexas.gov). Ask where to meet and whether court use is included in the price.
At roughly 2.0–2.5, try a beginner clinic at Mack Phillips (phillipstennis.com), RippnerTennis WilCo (rippnertennis.com), or the city (roundrocktexas.gov), then invite classmates to rally. At 3.0–4.0, contact RRTL (roundrocktennis.com), RRTA (rrtennis.com), or the Tennis Austin team directory (tennisaustin.org). RRTL says its tournaments are aimed at approximately 3.0–4.5 players, while friendly matches welcome other levels.
Round Rock pairs a new 17-court lighted municipal complex with neighborhood courts, a bookable county tennis center, local leagues, and coaches. The Old Settlers complex opened in April 2026, with parking and room for community and tournament play. It is a practical meeting point for players from Round Rock, Pflugerville, Hutto, Georgetown, and Austin. See the city project description (roundrocktexas.gov) and local league court page (roundrocktennis.com).
RRTA (rrtennis.com) posts leagues and social tournaments; RRTL (roundrocktennis.com) coordinates practice and challenge matches. For October 2026 visitors, RRTA lists a doubles tournament at Old Settlers Park on October 24–25. Check registration and court allocations on its site.
The main public choices are outdoor hard courts. City and county sources provide the clearest court counts. Confirm smaller parks’ lighting and conditions locally before relying on them for evening play.
3443 Aten Loop, Round Rock, TX 78665
All 17 outdoor tennis courts are lighted; two can be converted for extra pickleball courts during tournaments. Unreserved courts are first come, first served. City programs, RRTA, USTA, and other teams have posted reservations. Call 512-218-5540 for scheduling. The complex page (roundrocktexas.gov) does not state a walk-up tennis fee. Use Aten Loop for the courts; the park’s general Palm Valley Boulevard address covers a much larger area.
210 Borho Drive, Round Rock, TX 78681
Outdoor, lighted courts at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park. The county park page (wilcotx.gov) confirms eight courts.

Check in at the pro shop.
500 Round Rock West Drive, Round Rock, TX 78681

Two outdoor hard courts behind the recreation center. Austin Tennis League (tennis-austin.com) lists both as lighted. City programs can take priority; check the outdoor-court schedule (roundrocktexas.gov) or call 512-218-3220. The park page posts no separate walk-up tennis price.

The city schedule (roundrocktexas.gov) lists RRTA on Monday through Thursday evenings, Women’s Team Tennis of Austin on selected weekday mornings, USTA on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and city instruction on selected courts. These blocks reserve particular courts, rather than necessarily closing all 17. Unreserved courts are first come, first served. Check the live schedule before traveling, especially during tournaments.
Some courts on general tennis maps belong to residential associations. Forest Creek HOA (sites.google.com) limits its courts to HOA members and does not sell memberships to nonresidents. Teravista (teravistatogether.com) says its two community tennis courts, one in Round Rock and one in Georgetown, require a resident amenity key fob. Visitors need an eligible host.
Adult leagues, registration, and tournaments centered on Old Settlers Park. The RRTA site (rrtennis.com) posts announcements. Its contact page (rrtennis.com) lists info.rrtennis@gmail.com and a Facebook community. Ask about a suitable league, substitute spot, or social event.
Practice matches, singles, doubles, challenge matches, and spring and fall competition. Its about page (roundrocktennis.com) links to a daily-activity WhatsApp group and says tournament play is aimed at approximately 3.0–4.5 players.
Flex leagues and a tennis-partner program across the metro area, with Round Rock courts in its directory. See its courts and programs (tennis-austin.com).
Tennis Austin, formerly CATA (tennisaustin.org), coordinates Austin-area tennis and USTA league connections. Its player directory (tennisaustin.org) helps players seek teams. USTA Texas (usta.com) explains NTRP-based adult leagues and local coordinator contacts. These options suit residents and longer stays; a visitor can usually arrange a casual match faster through a local group.
RRTL identifies Zulifqar Ahmad as founder and executive director and Usman Qureshi as co-founder and committee chairman on its leadership page (roundrocktennis.com). Its 2025 results (roundrocktennis.com) list Badar Usmani atop its yearly cup standings.
