Tennis Courts in Kazakhstan: Where to Play Profitably in Almaty, Astana and Other Cities

Tennis in Kazakhstan is no longer an “expensive pleasure for the chosen few”. In 2026, you can play for an hour for 2500–6000 tenge even in big cities if you know where to look and how to book. The main thing is not to overpay for the club’s status when the court surface and infrastructure are almost the same.

We have collected up-to-date data from official club websites, KTF and player reviews. All so you can compare options right away and save 30–50 % on regular training.

Most courts have hard surface (acrylic or synthetic). Clay courts are rarer and are mainly found at KTF National Centers.

In summer (April–October) open courts are more profitable — they are 1.5–2 times cheaper than indoor ones. In winter you can’t do without indoor courts.

Almaty and Astana have the best-developed infrastructure. In Shymkent and Karaganda the main venues are at branches of the Kazakhstan Tennis Federation (KTF). They are usually cheaper, but booking is done by phone or WhatsApp.

Almaty has the most options, but the price range is also the widest.

Budget and mid-range options:
- Family Tennis Club — 6000 tge/hour (open/indoor).
- Jandosym (Жан Досым) — morning 7500 tge/hour, daytime 8500, evening 9500 tge. Packages of 20–80 hours give discounts up to 20–25 %.
- Open courts in parks and sports complexes — from 4500–6000 tge during daytime (according to 2GIS and past promotions; always check current rates).

Premium options:
Gorky Tennis Park and Baganashil — from 8000–12000+ tge/hour, but with perfect service and lighting.

District tip: if you live in Bostandyk or Medeu districts — look nearby so you don’t waste time and fuel. In remote districts (Alatau, Nauryzbai) there are fewer options, so it’s more profitable to go to the center or use the app.

Here it is often cheaper than in Almaty.

• Daulet Tennis Center — one of the most affordable: indoor court 3500 tge/hour, open court 2500 tge, court with wall 1000 tge. Changing rooms, shower, café — everything is available. Booking via Taplink.
• Royalace Tennis Club — from 5000 tge/hour (indoor and open).
• National Tennis Center Beeline Arena (KTF) — 6000–12000 tge depending on the court and time of day.

In Astana it is easier to find evening slots at a fair price — the city is actively developing sports.

• Shymkent, Beeline Arena (KTF) — indoor courts 6000 tge/hour (sometimes promotions at 5000). Equipment rental 1200 tge.
• Karaganda, KTF — open courts from 5000–6000 tge on promotions, indoor 8000 tge. Especially profitable in summer.

In other cities (Aktobe, Aktau, Pavlodar) there are fewer courts, but KTF branches are almost everywhere. Prices are usually closer to “municipal” — 4000–7000 tge/hour.

Hourly rental is the most expensive format for beginners.
Subscription/package of hours (20–40–80 hours) — saves 15–30 %. At Jandosym a 20-hour package is already cheaper than single rental.
Group classes are the most profitable option for children and adult amateurs. In Almaty a children’s group twice a week — from 30,000 tge/month (Jandosym).
Individual — 9000+ tge/hour + court rental.

Conclusion: if you play 2–3 times a week — immediately calculate a subscription or package.

• Racket rental — 500–1000 tge/hour.
• Balls (3 pcs.) — 500 tge.
• Lighting for evening courts — sometimes +500–1000 tge.
• Booking prepayment — 4000 tge (KTF).
• Membership fee in some private clubs.
• Shower and changing room — almost always included, but in the cheapest open courts it may be “extra charge”.

Always ask: “What is included in the hourly rate?”

• Municipal / KTF centers (“Daulet”, Beeline Arena) — cheaper, basic service, but good surface. Ideal for regular play.
• Private clubs (Gorky, Baganashil, Royalace) — more expensive, better infrastructure (café, parking, lighting), but sometimes you overpay for the “atmosphere”.
• Network / multi-functional (Family Tennis Club) — convenient when playing as a group (tennis + football/volleyball).
• Online services — Match Ball (Kazakhstani app) shows available courts in real time, helps find a partner of your level and book in seconds. Supported by the Tennis Federation.

- In advance (3–7 days) — for evening and weekend slots in popular clubs.
- Last-minute (on the day of play) — sometimes discounts during daytime or in less popular centers.
Rule: in Almaty and Astana on Friday–Sunday evenings — book a week in advance.

The most working life hack is to split one court among 4 people.
6000 tge/hour ÷ 4 = 1500 tge per person.
Play in pairs or simply take turns. Many clubs welcome this.
With children — take group classes: one coach for 4–6 kids = noticeable savings.

1. Decide when and where it is convenient for you (district, time of day, indoor/open).
2. Open Match Ball or 2GIS — see available courts nearby.
3. Compare 3–4 options by price + extras (rackets, lighting).
4. Check cancellation rules (usually 24 hours) and prepayment.
5. If you play regularly — immediately ask about a package/subscription.
6. Book via the app, WhatsApp or Taplink.
7. Arrive 10–15 minutes early — check the surface and equipment.

• Taking the first premium club near home and overpaying 1.5–2 times.
• Not clarifying whether equipment is included.
• Not checking cancellation rules and losing prepayment.
• Sending a child to a group without a trial lesson.
• Playing only on weekends in the evening — the most expensive slots.

Conclusion: tennis in Kazakhstan has become truly affordable. The main thing is not to pay for status, but to pay for hours on the court. Compare, book through apps and share the court — then a month of regular training will cost 15–25 thousand tenge instead of 40–50.
