The facilities

The center is named for Marcia Anderson M.D. and her husband "Buck," who are long-time Gallatin Valley ranchers. Through Marcia Anderson's generous contributions the Bobcat Tennis Center provides quality year round facilities for MSU student-athletes and Bozeman tennis players of all ages.

The permanent structure houses 4 indoor courts and a 27,000 square-foot foundation, and replaces the previous bubble complex. The new state-of-the-art lighting and heating systems makes the Bobcat/Anderson Tennis Center the best indoor complex on a Big Sky Conference campus, and perhaps one of the finest facilities in the Northwest.

The Center offers the following:

  • Access to indoor courts year-round

  • Team Tennis

  • Junior Lessons

  • Adult Lessons

  • Private Lessons

  • USPTA & PTR certified pros

Court Access:

  • Court Fee Per Person:

    • Singles: $10 (.5 hour), $20 (1 hour), $30 (1.5 hour)

    • Doubles: $5 (.5 hour), $10 (1 hour), $15 (1.5 hour)
