Where the concierge points people first
- Tennismuurtje Olympiaplein — A hitting wall on the Olympiaplein, free and open. Bring a racquet and a can of balls and you have tennis without booking anything. (52.3470, 4.8675)
- Frans Otten Stadium — An indoor racquet sports center beside the Olympic Stadium. The practical choice when it rains, which it will. (52.3397, 4.8513)
- Vondelpark Wintertennis — Tennis in the Vondelpark that, as the name says, keeps going through the cold months. Worth asking about single-hour bookings. (52.3595, 4.8651)
- NDSM Padel — Padel rather than tennis, on the NDSM wharf in Noord. Padel has spread fast in the Netherlands and is easier to book by the hour than tennis. (52.4029, 4.8940)

Dutch tennis is a club game first
Most tennis courts in the Netherlands belong to clubs affiliated with the national federation, the KNLTB, and are for members and their guests. Membership runs by the season and there is usually a waiting list in Amsterdam. For a visitor, the route in is either an indoor center or park operation that rents courts by the hour, or a member who can bring you as an introducé for a small fee. Racquet hire is not something to count on; bring your own or ask when you book. Outdoor clubs mostly play on artificial clay from spring to autumn.
