Sunset Woods Park on sunset Road and Central in Highland Park.  Three hard and three clay courts.  Public courts. Well maintained.   Nice people play there.

This maybe a little further but there are some har-tru ones on Lakeshore drive around the Belmont/Sheridan exit. If I recall correctly $10/hr reservation but the details are second hand information from I a reliable source I coach.

Haha, I was thinking he has the initials correctly! I may not play as much as I would like to someone has to pay the bills and keep the shop open but absolutely CPDT, we always have surprises and amongst them some eye candy so that it stays interesting. All for good tennis right?!

@ D - eye candy is right... not a bad tennis player too.  must have taken after big brother.  the player she beat in singles from our team last summer is still a laughing stock up until today.  another teammate sneaked in a skirt in his bag, funny as heck.  all for good tennis definitely.

Wood Oaks Park in Northbrook, on Sanders just south of Dundee.  About a month ago the clay courts were still closed, assumedly because of all the rain.  Public courts, pretty well-maintained.  No lights though.

As for Euro red clay, I don't know of any in the area.  But I'd love to play on it sometime.

I forgot about the clay courts on Sanders.  Angie is correct, no lights.  The Sunset Woods Courts were open when we went yesterday early evening.  But it was way too cold to hit very long, although other people were on the courts.  Just more brave I guess. I hit on red clay in Pompano Beach Florida and thought it was great. Unfortunately, I was wearing all white. Will not make that mistake again.  I wish there were more tournaments on clay in this area.

sounds like it's going to be challenging to get a court at Sunset Woods around 7pm once the weather turns nice.
