The benchmark
A Measured Bounce
Built to play at a 35–40 inch bounce — read every morning.
Surface blend
90/10 Rye / Bluegrass
Perennial Ryegrass for pace and recovery, Kentucky Bluegrass for density that holds through a Midwestern summer.
Engineered rootzone
Imported clay, sand, and soil over rounded river rock
A built profile of dura-edge and blended clay and sand, laid over twelve inches of rounded river rock, chosen above crushed gravel to move water freely through summer deluges. The architecture beneath every bounce.
Agronomic stewardship
Maintained in-house to UMass standards
Turf management handled by the club's own team, with USTA evaluators and professional consultants assessing the courts.
Court Construction
How These Courts Were Built
Every practical argument points away from grass — expensive, seasonal, demanding. QCTC built anyway, and did it with material carried a thousand river miles to Moline. The full story runs from the riverbed to the first bounce.
