Driving Directions Address for WTC: Use 604 Whatley Dr, Dothan, AL 36303
Physical address for Westgate Tennis Center is 810 Recreation Road. However, that road is within a park and usually does not show up for driving directions. Therefore, use 604 Whatley Drive, Dothan, AL 36303 for WTC address for driving directions. (Address across street from WTC.) It will work just fine.
