Olde Providence Racquet Club is located on a beautiful 55 acre campus and offers 27 outdoor clay (15 lighted), 5 outdoor hard and 5 indoor hard tennis courts. Founded in 1962 as a not-for-profit, member owned club, Olde Providence has grown to become one of the premier facilities in the Southeast.
Olde Providence, over the years has proudly hosted a number of prestigious tournaments and exhibitions. Previous events include the Davis Cup, the NCNB Classic, U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships, World Team Tennis and the Federation Cup. Tennis legends who have played at OP include Andre Agassi, Ken Rosewall, Chris Evert, Margaret Court, John McEnroe, Stan Smith, Martina Navratilova and Charlotte's own "Doctor Dirt," Tim Wilkison. Each year, OPRC now hosts the North Carolina State Closed (odd years) tournament for adults and the North Carolina Junior Clay Court State Open.
New OPRC Clubhouse Adds an Extra Level of Enjoyment
Our tennis-loving membership has always been at the heart of the success of OPRC. In October 2006, the OP membership moved into the new 16,500 sq. ft. clubhouse. The new clubhouse was designed to retain the comfortable "rocking chair front porch" feel of the old clubhouse, but added amenities such as expanded locker rooms, state-of-the-art fitness center and aerobics room, elegant conference and reception meeting spaces, expansive 3,000 sq. ft. veranda overlooking the stadium court, a well-equipped pro shop, a catering kitchen and fun-filled areas for children.
Programs for every skill level
You don't have to be a pro to play at Olde Providence Racquet Club. It's true, we do have some of the Southeast's finest tennis players in our membership, but we put a great deal of emphasis on nurturing players at every skill level. We have full-time tennis professionals who, working with their assistants, coordinate extensive adult and junior tennis programs. These programs include private, semi-private and clinic instruction for all levels and ages.
The most important benefit of Olde Providence Racquet Club membership is the opportunity to organize and participate in a complete schedule for all levels of play. You'll find social, competitive and sanctioned tennis for all ages. Get involved in the many existing men's, women's and mixed leagues, socials and round robin events. OP hosts leagues including the Charlotte Pro League, Charlotte Interclub Women's League, Queen City Leagues, USTA Adult, Senior and Super Senior Leagues and USA Junior Team Tennis Leagues.
Get your feet wet
Olde Providence Racquet Club also offers an Olympic-size pool, complete with a diving board. The pool is supervised by certified lifeguards during the summer season, and swim lessons are available. Children can enjoy competitive swimming as members of the swim team, which is a part of the citywide club league. The OP Pirahna Swim Team has 200 members and growing each year!
The pool complex also has an infant/toddler wading pool, bathhouse with showers and locker rooms, shaded play area for children. During the summer, the OP deli café offers a great selection of salads, sandwiches and drinks.
