A court in Amagansett needs a spring opening, a weekly routine and someone to notice the crack in October. We put Amagansett homeowners in touch with one company that maintains courts in Town of East Hampton on the clubs’ calendar, and we publish what the year costs.
Maintenance in Amagansett: what's different here
The largest Har-Tru installation on the fork, SPORTIME’s 33 courts on Abrahams Path, the Town’s four public courts on the same road, the Further Lane and Bluff Road estates with courts behind the double dunes, and the Lanes’ shingled village houses without room for one.
On the ocean side of Amagansett the court dries between waterings in the afternoon wind and the salt works on the fence and the net posts; a beachfront maintenance contract in Amagansett is more watering, more brushing and a windscreen check after every blow.
South of the highway, the Further Lane and Bluff Road estates take full ocean exposure — salt spray on the fence hardware, blown sand on the court, afternoon wind above the inland average — and north of the highway Stony Hill and the woods are moraine till with boulders in the excavation. Amagansett had 1,824 residents at the 2020 Census and one of East Hampton’s largest collections of estates along Further Lane; the Devon Yacht Club on Gardiner’s Bay keeps its own courts behind its gates.
Permits in Amagansett run through the Town of East Hampton Building Department (with a Natural Resources Special Permit near wetlands and the dunes); the court builder we put you in touch with handles the filing where one is required.

FAQ
Maintenance questions
How often does a tennis court need resurfacing?
Nobody publishes an interval, and the base is why. The national guides price a hard-court resurfacing at $8,000–12,000, an acrylic recoat at $4,000–10,000, a maintenance topcoat at $1,000–2,000 and a full asphalt overlay at $20,000–40,000, and give a court a 10-to-25-year life, asphalt 15–20, but none states the years between recoats, because a post-tensioned slab in a dry yard and old asphalt over ground that saturates every winter wear at different rates. Read the cracks instead: hairlines in the colour are wear and a recoat; a crack that runs across the court and returns each spring is the base and needs the drainage fix ($4,000–8,000) first. Clay is not resurfaced; it is reconditioned every year, with about two tons of new Har-Tru per court, at $2,500–3,000.
Har-Tru or a hard court: which should I build in the Hamptons?
Har-Tru if you want the surface the fork plays on and will pay to keep it; a hard court if you want to walk out and play. A clay court costs $60,000–90,000 nationally plus about $2,000 a year, is watered overnight and at midday, brushed, rolled daily in the spring freeze-thaw and reconditioned every year with two tons of new material, and it plays in light rain; the clubs here are almost all Har-Tru: SPORTIME’s 33 courts, the East Hampton Tennis Club’s 15, Montauk Downs’ 6, Mashashimuet’s 8. A post-tensioned concrete or asphalt court costs $45,000–80,000, needs a wash and an algae treatment, a recoat ($4,000–10,000) when the colour wears and 30–120 minutes after rain, and lasts 10–25 years. A junior on the tournament track wants both within reach.
