Updated November 2026. Tennis City Kona › Kona Tennis Guides
In Kona you can play for free at the county courts, first come, first served, or pay to book a court at one of two clubs.
County courts
The Kailua Park courts by the Old Kona Airport are the main free courts in town. The county publishes no booking system for tennis, so just show up. The park is open 7am to 8pm and the courts have lights. Expect to share with pickleball.
Royal Kona Resort Tennis Club
Royal Kona on Alii Drive is open to the public. Book on its CourtReserve page and buy a daily pass, or join for $70 a month or more. It is open 7am to 9pm.
Holua Racquet & Paddle
Holua in Keauhou charges $10 per person per hour. Email to reserve before you go, then check in and pay.
Heat and sun
At Kona’s airport, the average high is about 84°F all year, by NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals. Early morning and evening are the coolest times to play; bring plenty of water.
