Here's what others have had to say about Carmel Valley Ranch.

"What made this clinic were the instructors/pros. Very welcoming, fun, and lots of great tips. The resort is excellent, but pricey. But would go again just for the teaching experience!"—R.M., Adv. Int., February 2024

"We truly enjoyed the atmosphere, the community and most of all, the tennis coaches. They are truly amazing with the kids and positive. This resort is our go to where each experience is better than the prior and best!!"—M.C., Int., March 2021

"This was our fourth trip to Carmel Valley Ranch. I played tennis for four consecutive days: 1st day: Hitting session with Chris Myrold on Har-Tru clay court. 2nd day: 'Daily drill' was cancelled due to wet courts after an overnight shower. Ben Gottenberg was gracious and arranged for a hitting session with a resident member. 3rd day: 'Live Ball' doubles drills with Chris Myrold. Excellent opportunity for game-like, situational doubles practice. 4th day: Intermediate drills with Ben Gottenberg. Like the Live Ball session, excellent drills and covered groundstrokes, volleys, serves and a great 5-ball, Touch the Fence drill. Top notch instruction and a great assortment of clinics and drill programs. My only regret was that I was not able stay longer on our departure date to participate in the Round Robin Doubles Mixer. Yes, we will be back !!"—G.F., Int., March 2021

"Chris and Ben were gems in tennis instruction. We've visited CVR 4 times in the past year, each time bringing new families and their kids with us. We had a mix of beginner adults taking tennis lessons, 3.5 NTRP players doing clinics, LiveBall, and doubles mixers, and 7-8 year old kids participating in clinics and private group lessons. The coaches were amazing in adjusting their instruction to the kids and adults and the level of play. Everyone learned something and was super-engaged. The tennis was a key highlight to our stays and continues to be one of the main draws. Our kids take private clinics at home, and all of them have stated that their favorite experiences were at Carmel Valley Ranch -- they make it fun and instructive for them."—C.W., Adv. Int., March 2021

"Carmel Valley Ranch was an outstanding vacation for our entire family. The highlight of the trip however was the private instruction my 5 yr old son had with Coach Ben. Coach Ben made for an unforgettable experience for our son. Within 4 lessons had had him volleying and serving with confidence. More importantly, he took our son's excitement to a new level with his excellent motivational coaching style. Everyday, our son looked forward to the next lesson! We will definitely be back next year for more of the same. Thanks Coach Ben!"—M.W., Beg., July 2020

"Carmel Valley Ranch was a highlight of our travels during Covid. What an unexpected and pleasant surprise as the resort and rooms are beautiful. We are tennis players and golfers and had opportunities to play both everyday. The golf course was in fabulous condition and a joy to play. The tennis community was one of the nicest places we’ve been. The staff and tennis pros are genuine, fun and invited us to play with other hotel guests that played at our level. There are multiple clinics and levels for anyone any age. We loved the community so much, we are spending next summer in the community."—T.O., Pro, July 2020

"The coaches are positive and diplomatic at all times, making it a fun place for all!!"—T.S., Low Int., March 2020

"We went for a long weekend and essentially dropped in for a tennis clinic and stayed for a mixed doubles round robin. We ended up playing again with another couple we met at the round robin. The pro, Ben, was great. Friendly, energetic and super responsive."—D.M., Adv., March 2020
