How we ranked these

We rank public courts by facility quality, not just star rating — since most courts have few or no reviews. Each location is scored on: number of courts (up to 12 points), evening lighting (+4), surface material (+1 for documented surface), and a Bayesian rating signal (half-weight). Venues with a rating below 3 stars are excluded.
