CAMP REVIEWS
FACILITY
WAKE FOREST TENNIS CENTER
Built to serve as the home to the Wake Forest men’s and women’s tennis teams along with the ATP’s Winston-Salem Open, the Wake Forest Tennis Center opened in the summer of 2011 as one of the finest facilities in all of college tennis.
The state-of-the-art complex features 13 Deco-Turf II courts, the same court surface that is used at the US Open, affording the Demon Deacons the opportunity to play on some of the nicest courts in the Atlantic Coast Conference, if not the country. It was designed with the intention of hosting the NCAA Championships in mind, making Wake Forest one of only a handful of schools with a facility capable of doing so.
The outdoor facility is conveniently located next to the Wake Forest Indoor Tennis Center, which houses eight indoor courts along with coaches offices, providing a central location for Wake Forest tennis.
