Holce Tennis Courts Under Cover
The Pacific tennis programs enjoy practice and play at one of the top small college facilities in the Northwest. The Thomas J. Holce Tennis Courts were completed in May 2009. The courts are located at the corner of University Ave. and Cedar St., on one half of the former Tom Reynolds Soccer Field and McCready Field (football).

The complex was honored as one of the top new outdoor tennis facilities in 2010 by the National Sport Builders Association.

The Holce Tennis Courts feature a total of six courts, which allows for faster play during conference dual matches. The complex of Plexipave hard courts cover a total of 46,440 feet. All six courts are lit, allowing for practice and play both early in the morning and into the evening.

Three of the courts are enclosed by a steel structure and are lighted, allowing the Boxers to practice and play in all conditions. Each set of three courts is encircled with a 10-foot high chain-link fence and has "California corners" between the courts, helping to keep runaway balls in their individual courts.

The Holce Tennis Courts replaced the former Pacific tennis facility, also known as the Holce Tennis Courts, which the Pacific tennis teams had called home since 1986. The courts, located near the Stoller Center, were removed following the 2007 season to make way for the construction of Gilbert Hall.

Pacific's newest residence facility, Cascade Residence Hall, was completed in 2014 and flanks the Holce Tennis Courts facility. The hall contributes to a great college atmosphere for tennis maches as well as a bathroom and changing room area for players.

The courts add to a 100-plus year history of varsity athletics being played on the site. The area had been the home of Pacific football for 99 years, playing on what was then called McCready Field. Following the discontinuation of the football program, the surface was renovated for soccer and re-named Tom Reynolds Field after the longtime Pacific coach who died of cancer in 1992.

The current location of the courts has brought the tennis program full circle. Pacific's original set of courts were located just southwest of the current Holce Tennis Courts and were removed in 1986 for the construction of what is now known as Price Hall.

The Holce Tennis Courts are open daily for use by Pacific students, faculty and staff.
