The Hurd Tennis Center at Baylor University isn't just any college tennis facility, it's the 2025 College Tennis Facility of the Year, home to the Baylor Bears, and the pinnacle of the tennis community in Waco, Texas. When it came time to resurface their courts, Baylor turned to the experts at CourTex Construction to ensure their championship-caliber facility maintained its world-class playing surface.
The Hurd Tennis Center provides a best-in-class setting that matches the level of play on its 12 outdoor courts. As an active community hub in Waco, the facility serves the public by hosting non-college events and tournaments at various levels. The center has hosted some of the most prestigious events in collegiate tennis:
When we arrived at the Hurd Tennis Center, we brought over a decade of experience and expertise in tennis court resurfacing to one of the nation's premier collegiate facilities. The scope of work was substantial: resurfacing multiple courts to ensure they met the exacting standards required for Division I competition and major championship events.
The resurfacing process involved completely removing the old playing surface, addressing any underlying issues, and applying fresh layers of acrylic coating to create that signature championship-green playing surface that players and spectators expect from a facility of this caliber.
The transformation was remarkable. What began as worn courts with aging surfaces became pristine playing fields ready to host the nation's top collegiate athletes. The vibrant Baylor green and gold branding around the facility was preserved and enhanced, maintaining the intimidating home-court advantage that Bears players enjoy.
The courts now feature:

As Fred Viancos, Executive Director of USTA Texas, noted: "The Hurd Tennis Center is a prime example of how to bring a tennis community together. Serving as a central hub for a top-rated collegiate program and the tennis community at large, it helps raise the profile of tennis in Waco and across Central Texas."
By ensuring the playing surface meets the highest standards, CourTex Construction played a crucial role in supporting this mission. Quality courts aren't just about aesthetics, they're about player safety, consistent ball bounce, and creating an environment where athletes can perform at their best.
