Your A-List: Best Tennis Courts
This is a rare case when the sole write-in candidate, Westwood Country Club, probably deserved a little official love from Your A-List. After all, it’s good enough for Andy Roddick. So it ought to have been good enough for the Best Tennis Courts slate.
The actual co-winners, in a virtual tie with 23 percent of your vote each, were the Caswell Tennis Center and Austin High. The first beckons with its location at the base of West Campus and its recent makeover, while the second is close to the Lady Bird Lake hike-and bike-trail and, on weekends, offers luxurious parking.
No. 3, the South Austin Tennis Center with 12 percent of your vote, almost became an even more important center, but the neighborhood intervened. Two University of Texas courts, the Intramural Fields and the interscholastic Penick-Allison Tennis Center, came in No. 4 and No. 5.
Rounding out the list were the World of Tennis (6 percent), Austin Tennis Academy (4 percent), Little Zilker Park (4 percent), Old Settlers Park (4 percent), Pharr Tennis Center (3 percent), Jester Center Courts (3 percent), Williamson County Park (2 percent) and the Georgetown Tennis Center (1 percent).
You may have noted that several of these spots are private or semi-private. Not to worry. There are ways to work any system, and a dedicated tennis player could end up on any of these courts on a given day.
