For estimating, a full court is priced as a 5,000 sq ft pad (50' x 100', which leaves run-off past the baselines) and a half court as 2,500 sq ft. That puts a new full court at $75,000 to $105,000 and a new half court at $37,500 to $52,500. Most backyard builds are half courts or smaller custom pads; enter your own dimensions in the calculator. The basketball court construction cost page itemizes the full court, and half court basketball dimensions covers the lines for a smaller pad.
