The RUM Tennis Courts or the Pedro “Golo” Laracuente Tennis Courts is a tennis center at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, as part of a sports complex with the RUM Natatorium and the RUM Racquetball Courts.^[3] Built in 2010 next to the natatorium, it held the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games' tennis competitions.^[4] It was named after former UPRM tennis athlete and coach, Pedro “Golo” Laracuente, when his former-student Emily Viqueira retired her name from candidacy, feeling that "[her] name and Golo's were going to compete and that [she] did not want to compete with [her] teacher."^[5]

Of Puerto Rico's approximately hundred tennis courts,^[6] eight are located at the complex, with two of these being principal courts, since they are flanked by cement bleachers on both sides.^[7] It is the permanent home of the UPRM's tennis club, Mayagüez RaCktenis, whose membership costs range between $100.00 to $250.00.^[8]^[9] Its use is usually limited to the UPRM students, varsity athletes and Mayagüez RaCktenis members.^[8] However, other local clubs may also use the space.^[10] The courts aren't used for tennis exclusively, as the space can be rented^[11] and some activities, such as the UPRM Meteorology Festival, are held there.^[12]
