Clay courts in Buenos Aires

[simi]

Was just fooling around with Google Earth for a few minutes. Looked at Roland Garros, Wimbledon, Indian Wells, and my own home courts. Then I took a look at Buenos Aires. There must be a hundred clay courts along the waterfront of Rio de la Plata. No wonder those guys are so good on the red dirt! Maybe about ten hard courts in total, but the clay courts seem to be on every street.

 

[Andres]

LOL. It's true.
But believe me, there are much more than just 10 hardcourts in Buenos Aires. And that is just outdoors. I've played in several indoors hardcourts there

 

[simi]

Andres, they open to the general public? The clay courts? We get there about once a year (to visit the wife's family). Maybe I should bring some rackets next time?

 

[Andres]

Depends on WHERE. Some courts along the Rio de la Plata, are from private clubs, and you got to be a member to use them, but the rest of them are open to the public... you call them, reserve them for a specific day and time, and you play, and then, you pay for the hour. In american dollar, the prices are from 4 dollars an hour up to 12 bucks an hour.

If you want to, I can give you some addresses of some cool and cheaper courts (the most expensive ones are that expensive because of the location, not because of the court itself )

i took the list from an argentine tennis forum

 

[diegaa]

haha, gonzalo... any courts missing from that list???

I highly recomend this one:
Asociación Deportes Racionales - Olleros 1515 1426 Cap. Fed. 4772-1296 4777-6069 (copy/pasted from gc post). Played several times there. Its not cheap, but the courts are very good and the locartion is very nice.

 

[Andres]

Polideportivo Colegiales:
Beautiful hardcourts, for free (or a 2 dollar bone to help the place), in Cap. Freire y Conde

 

[RiosTheGenius]

Palermo
-Salguero Tenis - Salguero 3350 - 482-2930
-Teacher's Tenis - F. Alcorta 7101 - 4788-6135
-De la Peña Tenis - F. Alcorta 5575 - 4576-0700 / 0702

question: is this the Av. Alcorta Gustavo Cerati refers to in his song named "Av. Alcorta"? .... do you know?... just curious. I love the song, but I never got the whole story behind it.

question: is this the Av. Alcorta Gustavo Cerati refers to in his song named "Av. Alcorta"? .... do you know?... just curious. I love the song, but I never got the whole story behind it.

Very likely!
Figeroa Alcorta is the main avenue in, probably, the most EXPENSIVE neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires, where all the rich and wealthy people often lives, including Cerati
