RED CLAY TENNIS COURTS AT THE NEST

At Owl’s Nest Resort in Thornton, New Hampshire, tennis enthusiasts can enjoy play on beautifully maintained European red-clay tennis courts, available from May through October. These courts provide a classic clay-court experience—sourced from Vermont quarries—where rallies tend to be longer and the surface is gentler on the body, offering a look and feel reminiscent of European terra battue.

With the dramatic backdrop of the White Mountains and the resort’s full racquet-sports complex, players of all levels can take advantage of court rentals, skills clinics, lessons, and tournament-packages to make the most of their clay-court experience.

THINGS TO KNOW / TIPS FOR BOOKING & PLAY:

  • Seasonality & weather dependence: Since the courts are outdoors and clay, usage is contingent on favorable weather (rain, wet clay or early/late season cold might affect play).
  • Booking ahead: For peak times (summer weekends, when the resort is busy) it’s a good idea to reserve court time in advance.
  • Footwear & play style: Clay surfaces differ from hard courts—sliding is more possible, acceptable footwear is important (non-marking clay or court-specific shoes recommended).

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this resort. If you’re thinking about having your wedding here, do it!! I got married here in October and it was a dream. The venue is so beautiful (we got married at the pavilion – the view is incredible) and the resort overall is so clean and there’s so much to do!
My family and friends loved it. My day of coordinator Haylea was phenomenal – she is on top of everything and is so friendly! My husband and I can’t wait to go back next October.
