One row per court
Each court keeps its own calendar, so a booked court 3 never hides an open court 4.
Tennis court booking software for clubs and court rentals
Stop managing courts from a clipboard and a group text. Reserving gives tennis clubs, private court owners and pickleball facilities one booking page for every court. Players pick a court, an hour and a duration, pay a deposit to hold prime time and get a reminder with the court number. You pay a flat subscription with no Reserving fee per booking.

Reminders
Tennis court booking software lets a club or rental facility sell each court by the hour or half hour, keep lesson and maintenance blocks off the public calendar and collect a deposit or card hold so a Saturday 9 am court is not wasted by a no-show. Reserving puts every court on one board shared by your website, front desk and phone. Deposits, card holds and two-way SMS come with Growth. It does not run league ladders, player ratings, memberships or court lighting controls.
How a court request becomes a paid hour
Courts are the easiest inventory to lose money on. A player texts for Saturday at 9, you say yes, and the court sits empty because nothing was paid. Prime time between 5 and 9 pm on weekdays and mornings on weekends is where your revenue is, so those are the hours worth protecting with a deposit, while off-peak hours can stay open and simple.
List each court
Add every tennis, pickleball or practice court as its own bookable resource with its own hours.
Set your booking lengths
Offer 60 and 90 minute rentals as services, with a short buffer for sweeping and net checks between groups.
Take the deposit
On Growth, require a deposit or card hold at booking. Your cancellation window appears before checkout.
Remind the players
Confirmation and reminders go out by email and text with the court number, the time and your rain or lights rule.
See every court and every hour on one board
A club with eight courts, a lesson program and a weekend tournament cannot run on one shared spreadsheet. Give each court its own row and record every booking there, whether it came from the website, a call or the front desk.
The sample bookings in the demo are illustrations, not customer activity. The demo shows resources with blocks of different lengths on the same day.
Built for facilities that rent courts by the hour
A court rental sells a surface, an hour and a number of players. The booking page should promise exactly that and leave the match to the players.
Lesson and clinic blocks
Hold two courts every Tuesday at 6 pm for the junior program and the public page simply stops offering them.
Maintenance and rain closures
Block a court for resurfacing or a wet morning in one step and the slots disappear from the booking page.
Deposits that hold prime time
Set a deposit on Growth and credit it against the court fee when the players arrive.
Add-ons that change the total
Offer a ball machine, a racquet rental or lights as add-ons so the player sees the price before paying.
Card holds for late cancels
Keep a card on file and apply your late cancellation fee when a group does not show.
A worked Saturday on a six court facility
Take a facility with four tennis courts and two pickleball courts, open 8 am to 9 pm. Tennis courts sell in 60 minute blocks with a 10 minute buffer. A foursome books court 2 from 9 to 10, and the board closes 9 to 10:10 on that court only. A second request for the same hour is offered court 1 or 3, not a double booking.
Hold courts 1 and 2 from 10 to 12 for a clinic, and the public page shows only courts 3 and 4 for those two hours. With a 15 USD deposit per prime time booking, ten weekend bookings hold 150 USD before anyone walks onto a court. If one cancels inside your cutoff, you keep the deposit under your own terms and the court goes back on sale. These numbers show how the board works, not a forecast of your revenue.
Match the booking page to your kind of court

Tennis court booking questions
What is the best tennis court booking software?
It depends on what you run. Reserving suits courts rented by the hour that want online booking, a calendar per court, lesson blocks and deposits for a flat monthly price. For memberships, leagues and ratings, a club management suite fits better.
Can players book a tennis court online?
Yes. A player picks a court, a duration and a date, and the page shows only open times. They confirm with name, phone and email, and on Growth a deposit can be required before the court is held.
Does it work for pickleball courts?
Yes. A pickleball court is another bookable resource with its own hours and rental lengths. You can run tennis and pickleball on the same board and block courts for clinics or tournaments.
How do I stop double-booking a court?
Record every booking from the website, phone and front desk on the same board. A court already held, including its buffer, is not offered again, so two groups never arrive for the same hour.
Can I run memberships, leagues or ratings?
No. Reserving does not run memberships, league ladders, player ratings or lighting control. It sells and protects court time. Keep league tools where they are and use Reserving for the calendar and the deposit.
How much does tennis court booking software cost?
Reserving costs 49 USD a month for Core or 149 USD for Growth per venue, with yearly billing at 24 and 74 USD a month. Core fits online booking, Growth adds deposits, card holds and two-way SMS. There is no fee per booking.
