INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: Manage court type options, which serve as the highest-level categorization for courts in the system. Court types help organize your facility and allow for customization specific to each type. They are used throughout CourtReserve in multiple ways, including filtering, reporting, creating custom schedulers, and more.
Use Cases: CourtReserve includes a pre-loaded list of default court types. While these default options cannot be modified or deleted, system users can:
Add or remove custom court types to fit their facility’s needs.
Hide specific court types so they do not appear on the Member Portal scheduler.
Important: Creating a court type does not automatically display that type of court on the Member Portal. System users must first create the court type, then add an actual court and assign it to that type (“tag”).
For example, if your court types include Clay and Pickleball, you might assign:
Court #3 and Court #4 → Court Type = Clay
Court #5 and Court #6 → Court Type = Pickleball
CourtReserve organizes courts and resources by type. When adding a new facility, you must create the corresponding type before adding the court itself. For instance, if a club already has two court types—Hard and Indoor—and adds a new Clay Court, a Clay type must be created first, then the new court can be added to the platform.
Default Court Types
When creating court types in CourtReserve, system users have access to a set of default court types. These defaults cannot be modified or deleted, but additional custom court types can be created as needed. Users may use any of the defaults that fit their organization’s needs and add new ones to accommodate their facility.

Grass – Natural grass playing surface, typically used for tennis and lawn sports.
Hard – Hard-court surface such as asphalt or concrete, often coated for tennis.
Clay – Clay-based tennis surface, common in competitive play.
Indoor – Covered or climate-controlled courts for year-round play.
Platform – Platform tennis court with elevated surface and surrounding screens.
QuickStart – Youth-oriented, smaller court size for beginner tennis programs.
Pickleball – Dedicated courts for pickleball play.
Racquetball – Enclosed racquetball courts.

SETUP REQUIREMENTS

Hiding a Court Type on the Scheduler
By default, CourtReserve shows court type information on the member portal.
To hide the court type fields on the member portal:
Go to SETTINGS > ORGANIZATION SETTINGS > General.
Scroll down to the Hide Court Types on Schedulers line and check the box.
Click Save.
CourtReserve will then hide the court type on the Member Portal.
USER PERSPECTIVE
CourtReserve displays the court type on the Member Portal scheduler beneath the court name, unless it is hidden in settings. In this example, Pickleball is the court type, and PB 1 and PB 2 are the individual courts.
