What this site is
The Z Edge is an editorial directory. We don’t take reservations, sell court time, or collect referral commissions. Every court has a page with the facts a player actually needs before showing up: court count, indoor or outdoor, lighted or unlit, reservation vs drop-in guidance, a map, and a short write-up grounded in the facility’s published information.
If you want to play — on vacation, on a business trip, or in a city that isn’t your own — we aim to be the one page you open before you pack the paddle.
Why we don’t show live data
Court hours change. Weather closes outdoor venues. Clubs reconfigure floor layouts for leagues. We publish what the facility has said publicly — and we update when we find a correction — but we don’t pretend to have a live feed into their scheduler. The link to the official website and phone number is there on every page. When your play time matters, call.
How we source
- Public facility listings indexed by Google Maps and the facility’s own website.
- Editorial review passes that de-duplicate, tag, and cluster courts by city and state.
- Reader corrections — if a page is wrong, email us and we’ll fix it.
Editorial principles
- No hidden advertising. Any sponsored placements will be clearly labelled.
- No pay-to-rank. Ratings in the directory reflect public review aggregates, not paid placement.
- No contact harvesting. Emails sent to us via the contact form go to a human inbox and nowhere else.
