In addition, there is an overall star rating with each court name with 4 stars being best and 1 star worst. Some courts with an N/A rating because they are listed on other sites as potentially having courts or have had courts in the past. A visit reveals that either the court(s) were demolished or are SO bad it is impossible to use them even for a beginner lesson. You probably only want to play a match you really care about on a 3 star or 4 star court although a 2 star court could do in a pinch or if it is just for practice.

Excellent - newly redone or brand new
Good - slightly older but still no cracks, no fading paint, and flat
