The Hope Island Resort Tennis Centre is a tennis venue located at the corner of Hope Island Road and Activa Way, Hope Island, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It has hosted a number of international tennis tournaments.
When Brisbane's major tennis centre, Milton Courts, closed in 1990s due to financial losses, the Hope Island Resort Tennis Centre became increasingly used for major tennis events in Queensland. When the Queensland Government opened their new Queensland Tennis Centre at Tennyson in Brisbane in 2008, major events relocated to the new facility, while other events relocated to the Royal Pines tennis centre.
Pat Cash sold his interest in the centre in 2008 to company in Hong Kong. From 2008 the centre has been leased to a number of local companies. The association with Pat Cash was lost in 2010 when the lease holder Chris Steele decided not to renew the relationship. In 2012 Tennis Blue took over the lease followed by Australia Tennis Academy from 2014. In 2016 Activa Tennis Academy Australia took over the lease and are the current lease holder with Jeff Schneider as company director and head coach.
