About COMO Tennis
The COMO campus features four regulation-size tennis courts. The courts are high visibility blue courts with DecoTurf surfacing, a multilayered resilient system. DecoTurf provides a cushioned surface to take the pressure off of players’ bodies while maintaining the bounce of the game and ease of maintenance.
COMO tennis members, COMO racquet members and contributing members may book court time online and access the courts via swipe-card entry.

COMO Tennis Court Renovation

Guest Policy
We welcome our members to invite guests to play in a game scheduled by that member, i.e. there must be at least one pass holder on the court. Guests can play no more than two times before a membership is required for their continued use of the courts. The hope is that by inviting guests to play, members are introducing their guests to the courts and promoting membership. Membership fees support the health and longevity of the courts and are critical to keeping the courts operational.
