Fleming Island Plantation has six (6) clay Tennis Courts for your recreational enjoyment. Our Tennis Court reservations are managed by the Reserve My Court system for residents and Tennis members.

Our courts are lighted for night play – simply turn on the timer to illuminate the Court you wish to use and please turn the lights off when you are finished. The Courts are made of clay and it is your responsibility to sweep and line them when play is complete. Please remember as with ALL of our Amenities, you need to have your FIP Photo ID with you at all times. We have staff during the day and on-site security in the evening who will check for the proper ID. Without the proper ID, you will be asked to leave the facility. You are allowed three (3) guests PER HOUSEHOLD.

PLEASE NOTE: If there are puddles on the court or your shoe leaves a visible imprint, the courts are too wet to play on. We would appreciate you postponing your play until the courts are sufficiently dry to play on. This will help keep the maintenance costs for the courts down. Thank you and enjoy!

Fleming Island Plantation Tennis Courts Rules

Please note: the Tennis Facility is an unattended facility and persons using the facility do so at their own risk. Persons interested in using the Tennis Facility are encouraged to consult with a physician prior to using the facility.

  1. Please note that the Tennis courts are an unattended facility, and Patrons and their guests using the facility do so at their own risk. 
  2. For all emergencies, call 911 immediately. All emergencies and injuries must also be reported to the Amenity Center staff as well as the District Manager.
  3. All Patrons and their guests using the Tennis courts are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible, courteous and safe manner in compliance with all policies and procedures of the Fleming Island Plantation CDD. Disregard or violation of the District’s policies and procedures and/or misuse or destruction of Tennis courts equipment may result in the suspension or termination of the Tennis courts or Amenity privileges.
  4. Security personnel and District staff can request FIP resident credentials to verify identification and court usage; if applicable they can ask to see your reservation on your phone. Failure to produce the proper identification will result in immediate dismissal from ALL Amenities until proper credentials can be presented. 
  5. Tennis courts are for Patrons only. Patrons may invite guests for play, but Patrons must stay with their guests for the entire duration of their stay. Patrons are allowed up to three (3) guests per household only, and all guests must play on the same court as their host Patron. 
  6. Tennis league play is permitted on District Property with the following parameters:
    1. 6.a Fleming Island Plantation tennis team captains must be a Patron. The captain must submit the official USTA document containing the captain’s information, the team roster, and practice/match dates to the Amenity Center Office staff prior to league season for approval. Once approved, any new team members added after season begins must be reported immediately to the Amenity Center Office staff.  Only Amenity Center Office staff is permitted to book court reservations for league matches.  Team Captains cannot reserve courts for matches.  Failure to adhere to this policy may result in suspension of Amenity privileges.  
    2. 6.b At least 51% of the Fleming Island Plantation tennis league team members playing on the tennis courts must be Patrons. All other Fleming Island Plantation team members must have a valid FIP tennis team membership. 
    3. 6.c The tennis team membership fee is an opportunity for non-Patrons to have rights and access to ONLY the tennis courts facilities for tennis league play. This membership does not include pools, parks, events, recreation, etc. The cost for a three (3) month membership for one (1) individual without the ownership of property within the District is $80. This membership does not permit the ability to bring a guest(s) or other members of their household to the tennis courts. This would however allow the tennis member the ability to play on a Fleming Island Plantation tennis team and to come to the courts to play with other Patrons. All Fleming Island Plantation team members listed on a team roster are required to have a FIP tennis membership. Once a membership has been purchased, FIP credentials will be issued and must be with the tennis member at all times while on the tennis courts. 
  7. Children under the age of thirteen (13) are not allowed to use the Tennis courts unless actively supervised by a Patron sixteen (16) years of age or older. Patrons are not permitted to “drop off” under age children without adult or guardian supervision.
  8. The Tennis courts are available for Patron use during normal operating hours, 8:30 am – 10 pm, which are posted. The Tennis courts in this facility may not be rented.
  9. Online reservations are required for tennis court use. All court reservations must be made on the Reserve My Courts reservation system. Only Patrons with current FIP credentials may make a court reservation. Court reservation must include all players’ names (resident, tennis member, guest) in the note section of the reservation.  
  10. Play is limited to two (2) two (2)-hour time slot reservations per day. If no one is waiting, Patrons may stay and play. If unable to fulfill the court reservation, Patrons are required to cancel the court reservation within thirty (30) minutes prior to the reservation time.  Repeat offenders to this policy are subject to suspension of Amenity privileges.
  11. Players must clean up after play. This includes “dead” balls, cups, plastic bottles, etc. Patrons MUST brush and line courts when play has finished unless the court is being water, maintained, or is wet. The goal is to show common courtesy by leaving the court ready to play for other Patrons.
  12. Tennis courts are not to be played on when they are being maintained, being watered, and when wet. Courts are considered wet when puddles and standing water are visible.  If foot indentations are present when walking, courts are too wet to be played on.
  13. Tennis court usage may be limited or suspended from time to time for maintenance.
