Staff is terrible there are maybe 2 real "pros" teaching there. Lady who runs the place wouldn't refund my court fees twice even though there was somebody to take my place both times. Indoor facility yet no fans in the summer. Ridiculous. Courts have cracks all over the place. It's an very old facility, one which is…
Great place to play tennis. I’ve been playing here on and off since I was in high school, so decades. I’ve seen many improvements, including much better temperature control in the newer bubble. I do wish the newer lighting was different, really hard to track high balls, poor design. Great staff!
We have been playing pickleball at WIRC for 3 years. We love it here. It is the best kept secret in Indy! The prices can not be beat. It may not have all of the bells and whistles of the high price new fancy pickle places opening up…. but the staff is terrific and the pickle ball is great. IU Indy’s tennis team practices at WIRC!
Fantastic! The coaches are very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Other players are great to hit with. Just wish they would use newer tennis balls.
We are so happy we joined the West Indy Racquet Club. My daughter enjoys her group lessons a lot and also her lessons with coach Payton and coach Pam. They are the best! The manager Caroline is super responsive and helps out any time we need anything.

Lots of courts available. Clean and well kept.
Staff is terrible there are maybe 2 real "pros" teaching there. Lady who runs the place wouldn't refund my court fees twice even though there was somebody to take my place both times. Indoor facility yet no fans in the summer. Ridiculous. Courts have cracks all over the place. It's an very old facility, one which is not maintained at all. Stay far away from this place
This is a nice place with friendly people
Thank you, Steven! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time to WIRC. Hope to see you again soon!
My son loves coming here for group tennis lessons! Coach Dan is so great with him.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your son enjoys our clinics with Coach Dan. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to seeing him continue to grow and have fun on the court!
Rave Review for West Indy Racquet Club’s Outstanding Tennis Training I want to give a huge shout-out to the West Indy Racquet Club for the incredible tennis training experience they provided for my Little and me through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. This club stands out as one of the premier tennis training venues in Indiana, and it’s easy to see why. The trainers at West Indy are exceptional. They combine top-level expertise with a genuine passion for the game, making each lesson both educational and incredibly fun. They tailored their approach to help my Little feel comfortable and confident on the court, and they made sure we both had a fantastic time learning new skills. The environment is welcoming and professional, and you can tell the staff truly cares about fostering a love for tennis in all their students. We walked away not just with better tennis techniques, but with memories of a really enjoyable and rewarding experience. If you’re looking for a place that delivers outstanding tennis training with a personal touch, West Indy Racquet Club is the place to go. They’ve certainly earned my highest recommendation.

Patti, thanks so much for the kind review! We love having your group join us each year and can't wait to see you again soon.
Going through a pickleball clinic and Paul is the best!!
Lots of good friendly people!
