Here's what others have had to say about Stratton Mountain Resort and Cliff Drysdale Tennis School at Stratton.
"The Cliff Drysdale Tennis School at Stratton has become my favorite destination for tennis instruction. The director, Scott Colebourne, is probably the best instructor I have had and I have played at most of the top academies on the east coast. After consulting my doubles partner and I as to what we needed to work on, he individualized lessons to help us improve in these areas. He took video of our shots and offered terrific advise. My serves and volleying have improved significantly.
If there is a weakness to the school it would be accommodations. After having some minor issues in the past, we chose to stay off-site, which was somewhat better, but also further away. Its essentially cheap and inexpensive, or luxurious and pricey.
Personally, I don't go to tennis camp for the accommodations, I go for the tennis, and this is where Stratton shines."—J.R., Adv., February 2012

"The pros are tops, very personable and fun to be with. More importantly, they're excellent analysts of your(mine) specific strengths and weaknesses and coming up with an individually tailored program that gets results. I've been going to their group clinics for the past two years and my game has improved considerably as a result."—D.K., Adv. Int., February 2012

"A top rate tennis program that I recommend highly . The only weakness that I can see is that there are only two indoor courts so that if it rains in the summer there is not a lot of options with so many people."—W.C., Adv. Int., February 2012
""—N.M., Adv. Int., February 2012
"Excellent staff and outdoor facilities. Indoor courts need upgrade."—L.C., Adv. Int., February 2012

"I had a great time in the week I was at Stratton. Although I didn't come for the tennis after just a couple of lessons with Scott my game was almost unrecognizable (I was pretty much a complete beginner) and it gave me the confidence to get out and play with others."—A.G., Beg., February 2012
"This summer I visited Cliff Drysdale tennis for the first time and had such a good time, I went back a few more times over the summer. The program and coaching staff are fantastic. I usually did the weekend getaway which included very fun mixer on Friday evening and 3-2.5 hr clinics on Sat & Sun. The mixers are a great way to meet the coaches and the "Vermont locals." I also did some of the morning cardio classes and they have good energy and get you going for the day. Scott and his staff are great at understanding what each person needs to work on, but are able to keep it fun and moving for the group. I will definitely be going back next summer!"—S.V., Adv., September 2011
"Absolutely one of my favorite places to play tennis! Made my first trip up this summer and enjoyed it so much I went back a few more times (5x). I noticed a substantial change in my game, especially strategy, by the end of summer. The Director and all the pros were very knowledgeable and super fun while pushing you to be your best. Can't wait for next summer - I'm booking multi weekends now!"—B.C., Adv., September 2011
