A court maintenance record helps owners, clubs and property managers keep observations and service history in one place. It should document what happened and when, without assigning a cause or prescribing work before the court is evaluated.
The record can be a spreadsheet, shared document or paper log. Consistency matters more than the format.
Identify the court and surface
List the property, court number, known surface, sports played and typical users. Boston Tennis maintains several court types, so connect the record to the appropriate surface information.
Log service dates
Record openings, closings, maintenance visits, repairs and resurfacing when known. Attach invoices or reports and name the provider. Do not recreate missing details from memory; mark them unknown.
Add dated condition observations
Note visible wear, cracks, loose material, line or net concerns, and water that remains after weather events. Use neutral language and photographs from the same date. The private court condition checklist can organize these observations.
Record use and interruptions
Note changes in sports, hours of play, events, seasonal closures or periods when the court was unavailable. This context can help the service team understand the request without assuming a maintenance interval.
Review before each consultation
Summarize what changed since the last service and highlight unanswered questions. Boston Tennis's maintenance programs cover scheduled court care, while specific defects may belong in a separate repair conversation.
Bring the record when you request a court evaluation. The team can review the surface and determine the appropriate next step.
