You will find that our islands are the ideal location for tennis. There is no season to limit play here, just year-round blue skies and warm weather. Nassau averages seven hours of completely sunny skies per day, and rain seldom lasts for longer than it takes to get under cover, even during the rainy season. Most playing facilities are part of resorts and courts are available on almost every island that has reasonably-sized guest accommodations. The surfaces include Flexipave, clay, asphalt, Plexicrome, Har-Tru, or cork, and most are night-lit. Annual events include the Bahamas Women's Tennis Open in March and the Mark Knowles Celebrity Tennis Invitational in December.
