Sport Court of Southern California provided more than 14,000 square feet of custom, bright “Madonna” pink and neon blue acrylic tennis surfacing for the Madonna Inn Resort and Spa.
“The tennis courts at The Madonna Inn have been a long time in the making. About 40 years ago, Mr. Madonna promised to build tennis courts as a gift to Mrs. Madonna. We've made good on that old promise and just finished a regulation and junior tennis court along with basketball court. To keep it unique for our guests and to stay consistent with our theme, we colored the courts pink! Sport Court had never made a pink court but were up to the challenge and did a wonderful job. Their professionalism and quality workmanship exceeded our expectations and left us very satisfied.” said Clint Pearce, President of Madonna Enterprises.
