Updated November 2026. Tennis City Kona
Kailua-Kona has two kinds of tennis courts. Hawaii County runs the free public courts at Kailua Park, by the Old Kona Airport, and at Kailua Playground. Two clubs open their courts to anyone for a fee: Royal Kona Resort Tennis Club on Alii Drive and Holua Racquet & Paddle in Keauhou.
The county’s parks directory lists which parks have tennis but doesn’t publish court counts. Where we give a count for a county park, it comes from map data, not the county. All sites are on the Kona court map. If something has changed, tell the group on Discord.
Court guides
- Kailua Park (Old Kona Airport), 75-5500 Kuakini Hwy.: county courts with LED lights since 2018, shared with pickleball
- Royal Kona Resort Tennis Club, 75-5852 Alii Dr.: 4 hard courts, open to the public with a daily pass

More county courts
- Kailua Playground, 75-5794 Kuakini Hwy.: an outdoor court in town. In October 2026 the county said repaving of the playcourt was still pending, so check before you go.
- Harold H. Higashihara Park, 78-7300 Kuakini Hwy., Keauhou: the county lists tennis here. We couldn’t confirm how many courts or exactly where they are, so it isn’t on the map.
Resort courts
Resorts on the Kohala Coast, such as Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani and Hualālai, have courts for their guests and members. None of them publishes a rate for visitors who aren’t staying there, so they are left out. There are no county tennis courts in Waikoloa Village.
