Updated November 2026. Tennis City Kona
Kona has a small tennis community, so most games come from knowing who plays. The Kona Tennis Discord group is a place to find them, whether you live on the island or are here for a week.
Kona Tennis Discord group
Join the Kona Tennis Discord group. It is free, for players 18 and over. Say hello in #introductions, then post in the channel for your level, such as #3-5-hitting-partners, with a day, time and court. Anyone who can make it replies.
Island residents can also use #island-residents, and visitors #resort-guests. For format, there are #singles-players, #doubles-players and #rally-training-partners. If you’re new to Discord, ask in #help-with-using-discord.
USTA leagues
USTA Hawaii Pacific runs rated adult team leagues across the islands. Check its site for teams on the Big Island.
Your first game
Agree on the court, a backup court, and who brings balls and plenty of water; Kona afternoons are hot and the sun is strong. Read how to get a court first, and share your level honestly. See the rating guide if you’re unsure.
