Night Tennis on the Sunshine Coast
From Caloundra to Noosa, the Sunshine Coast strings together one of Australia's most active community tennis networks. Long warm evenings make night play the default half the year.
Top Lit Courts on the Sunshine Coast
Maroochydore Tennis Club: 12 floodlit hard courts, the regional flagship. Open to 9:30pm. Caloundra Tennis Club: 8 lit courts, strong evening comp. Noosa Tennis Club: 6 lit hard courts at Noosaville. Buderim Tennis Club: 4 lit courts, hinterland breeze. Mooloolaba Tennis Club: 4 lit courts. Nambour Tennis Club: 4 lit courts.
Sunshine Coast Conditions
Summer evenings stay 22-26C with humidity 65-80%. Storms strike fast in Jan-Mar -- check radar before booking. Winter (Jun-Aug) is the perfect 14-19C with clear nights -- peak comp season here. Sea breeze drops by 7pm at coastal courts.
Gear for the Sunshine Coast
Humid courts kill grip fast. Stock dry-feel overgrips and a cooling towel. LED balls shine at coastal courts where moonlight competes with floodlights.
Best Times to Play
Apr-Sep: Peak -- clear evenings, low humidity, 14-22C. Oct-Mar: Storm season but 7pm-onwards usually stable. December gives long twilight to 8:15pm.
