GOLDEN BEAR LODGE TENNIS COURT

Cap Cana harbors for the tennis enthusiast four (4) illuminated Har-Tru (green clay) tennis courts located at the Golden Bear Lodge complex. The Har-Tru tennis courts are among the group of the slower tracks on the circuit, although they are faster than their peers in red clay. In addition, the ball gives a higher bonce on this surface, marking another difference from red brick dust. Because of these "details" is the reason that more aggressive game players often feel more comfortable on green clay or at least less uncomfortable than in classical, heavy and slow clay used in much of Europe, North Africa and in a wide region of Latin America. Another advantage, compared to other types of tracks, is that Har-Tru dries much faster than red clay courts and, conversely, in the days of high temperatures absorbs less heat than hard surfaces. Finally, Har-Tru reduces the chance of injury when compared with the fast tracks. According to a study from the University of Calgary, asphalt and concrete courts, to give two examples, are much more harmful. According to this research, surfaces that allow players to slide tend to have 85% more lesions than those in which players cannot slide. These courts are built according to the International Tennis Federation (ITF) specifications, 23.78 meters (78.0 feet) long, 10.97 meters (36.0 feet) wide. Their width are 8.23 meters (27.0 feet) for singles matches and 10.97 meters (36.0 feet) for doubles matches.[2] The service line is 6.40 meters (21.0 feet) from the net. The Golden Bear Lodge courts have Ball Boys available. Please book your court 12 hours in advance.
