Had a chance to test out this court Opal Damansara at Sunway Damansara recently. This condo is located near The Club & is easily accessible via Penchala link & LDP highway. The condo is loaded with facilities like pool, badminton court & gym. According to one of the tenant that I’m with during the visit, no one really uses the court here. As you see from the pictures, the court is in good shape but I didnt test out the lightings though. I would rate the court 8/10, but it would be higher if it is not for the sun vertical direction which makes one side of the court totally impossible to play on during sunset & sunrise. Thats the first thing that you need to check whenever u build a tennis court, the sun’s direction. Tennis court aside, the condo here are beautiful, something that your would expect from a Rm600,000 to Rm700,000 semi furnished condo.

Tennis Playground – PJ Club
Here’s a pair of very nice private club courts located at Dataran PJ, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Unfortunately it is for members of PJ Club only. It is located right next to the football field at dataran PJ and is close to the famous 24 hours A&W restaurant in front of Amcorp mall (check the green arrow on the google map above). The location of this place are quite well known to folks in Petaling Jaya & the courts here are surrounded by some nice greeneries like the football field & some trees.
Night lighting is quite ok. The courts has lotsa chairs & benches. Court, net post & net quality is nice & good. I would rate these courts here 8 out of 10. It would be nicer if the fencing is wider because it can get tight on doubles especially if a short angle ball is hit towards the doubles alley. These courts would have been great if they’re public courts as the location is quite nice with a LRT station nearby. Anyway, for a public court that is closeby, you can check out Astaka which is run by MBPJ. It will be featured here on tennis.my in the future.

Tennis Playground – Kompleks Sukan PKNS
Kompleks Sukan PKNS is located at Kelana Jaya, Selangor. It is located nearby a more famous Tennis facility which is the MBPJ tennis courts. The tennis courts here are open for public booking, for further inquiries please call 017-682 0620 (Nizam). The courts here are located inside the PKNS sports complex & there is a football field & badminton hall as well. There are shower rooms but all of the shower heads has been stolen (LoL).
The night lighting here is pretty good & is on par with the courts at Duta tennis centre. Out of 5 tennis courts here, 2 are quite new & in nice condition, the other 3 are very rough & dirty. Your balls would turn black pretty fast if you were to play at the other 3 courts so make so you book the 2 nice ones. I would rate the 2 nice courts & the night lighting here for 10/10 if not for the problems below:
1. The location of the courts are totally wrong for tennis. It is sitting right beside the busy LDP highway & rather close to the roadside as well. The air quality here are polluted by the heavy traffic & because the highway are elevated above the courts, dust particles would land & accumalate on the courts & make them dirty through time. A lot of times during play, some car with loud exhaust would blast by & caused a lot of sound interference.
2. There are lotsa holes on the fencing of the 2 nice courts & on some higher part of the fencing on the side court, the fence wires are torn & you would experience a lot of balls flying out of the court if you were to use that court.
The plus point on the courts here are that they’re easier to book & a lot less hassle than booking the MBPJ courts. To reach the courts here if you’re from KL, just drive to federal highway & go up the penang bridge after guiness & turn right into LDP. Go straight & pass Western Digital factory on your left & take the first left turn after you come down the Western Digital flyover. After the left turn, take the first right near the houses/field & you’re there already.
