AN HONEST LOOK AT COVERAGE
Good courts. Clear answers.
We’re starting with Sydney. Some venues share a public schedule, some don’t. We’ll always tell you which is which.
What the results mean
- Available at your time: the venue’s public schedule and booking rules show an opening for your chosen duration. You still need to confirm eligibility, price and complete the booking on its website.
- Nearby time available: a suitable slot starts within two hours of your preferred time, on the same day. Exact-time venues rank first.
- No matching slots: a readable tennis schedule has no qualifying public slots for your chosen time and duration. This can include closed hours or duration restrictions.
- Couldn’t check: the provider timed out, didn’t publish a usable schedule, restricts access, or isn’t connected yet. This never means “booked out”.
Sydney-wide discovery, growing live coverage
This is an initial directory, not a claim to cover every court in Sydney. Listings come from current council booking portals and official operator websites. Tennis Australia’s directory is used only to discover candidates; imported entries stay out of search until checked against a current council or operator source. The initial region covers roughly Penrith to the coast and the Hawkesbury area to Sydney’s southern suburbs. A working historical booking endpoint is not proof that it is still in use. For example, the old Kirribilli listing is replaced with Little Alfred Tennis and its current Intrac booking website. Names and operators can still change after our source check.
Each search checks supported Clubspark schedules and Bookable council calendars afresh. Bookable checks include opening hours, occupied periods, lead times and duration rules; complex or missing rules return “Couldn’t check”. Public Intrac calendars are scraped for Little Alfred, Newport and North Narrabeen. Mindbody booking pages are checked for North Sydney, Rushcutters Bay, Galuwa and Heffron Park, using each venue’s verified service and court IDs. Other venues, Hello Club and TennisVenues currently link to the operator for manual checking. Ermington, Lane Cove West and Longueville Tennis Clubs are checked by scraping their public HTML calendar, including its date selector and consecutive slots explicitly marked available. No booking is made. Walk-up courts cannot have their occupancy verified online.
Distances and map locations
Distances are straight-line distances from the selected suburb centre, not driving distances. Where a venue publishes a map coordinate, we use it. Otherwise we use a suburb centre or an approximate location and label it clearly. Those approximations can affect which side of your radius a court appears on. Confirm the actual address with the venue.

Free to find. Book with the venue.
findmeacourt is free to use. “Available” means open to booking, not zero-cost court hire. Venue charges, sign-in requirements and booking rules still apply. Availability can change between searching and booking. We don’t take payments or reserve courts.
Your search goes to our server and we request the relevant venue schedules. Opening the map loads tiles from OpenStreetMap. This version has no accounts, advertising or analytics.
