A Message from Steve

Hard to believe my father created Olivers' Red Clay Tennis in 1969. I was 12 years old and had a lot to learn about tennis. From 4 year olds to ninety year olds, there are certainly many terrific experiences to witness here.

From 1969 'til his passing in 1995 my father ran the operation. My mother continued the business until her untimely passing in 2003. From there it fell to me.

There are challenges to running an outdoor, red-clay tennis facility, especially given the very short and extremely weather-dependent season.

I own the courts with two of my brothers. In the Fall of 2025 a house will be built on courts 3 & 4. I will lose courts 1 & 2 also, as they will be part of the house lot. This is an agreement made with my oldest brother in order to keep the courts in-tact for the 50th year. I will not benefit from this.

Now, I fully intend to keep Olivers' running for many, many more years. While having fewer courts will affect me financially, it will be a blessing physically!

Court 7 has been converted to a Red Clay tennis court! For the 2025 season I will not open courts 1 & 2. I will have courts 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 available.

I would like to Thank my family, friends, and patrons who made this project possible. Could not have accomplished this without You. Believe me it is an accomplishment. As some of you know it is has been a long time coming.

Cannot Thank You All Enough!

Steve Oliver
