Here's what others have had to say about Oglebay Resort & Conference Center.
-
"I visited Oglebay Resort for a conference, and had the good fortune to be able to take two private lessons with Marc White the Director of Tennis. Marc was outstanding. Unlike many others pros that I have played with, Marc has an exceptional ability to verbalize and demonstrate keys elements of stroke production and the serve. I think that in two lessons Marc already raised my game a notch or two. I only wish that I lived closer so that I could take more lessons from Marc."—J.T., Adv., September 2011

"We recently spent a week at Oglebay Resort and Conference Center. The first person we met in the tennis center was Marc White, the Director of Tennis. He personally ensured my and my family had a fabulous tennis vacation.
His clinics were great. Personal instruction was outstanding. He was both positive and motivating to the younger players. The facilities are top notch as well. I could not be more pleased with Marc's effort and enthusiasm."—R.O., Adv. Int., August 2011

"Oglebay is in a beautiful setting in the hills north of Wheeling, WV. There are 10 Har-Tru courts and Marc White, the tennis director, has numerous programs fro all levels. I'm a 4.0 recreational player and had a great time at Men's Night. Marc combined drills with match play, and there were players of all abilities. I had a great time. I would highly recommended the tennis programs here and wouldn't hesitate to return."—A.L., Int., July 2011

"Great time with pro Mark White. Kept out group moving for two days of fun, energetic and instructive tennis. Recommend highly. Stayed in a cabin and cooked in. A great combo for a tennis weekend."—J.W., Adv. Int., June 2010

"Recently a group of 3.5 seniors contacted Mark White, the pro at Oglebay and asked if he could design a week-end program for us. Mark put together a package of lecture, pro videos, drills, games, tips, and the grand finale tournament that was just perfect. Each of the three sessions was designed to be 2 hours, and they typically turned into 3 hour sessions (1 on Friday and two on Saturday). This was our second year, and if we stay healthy we'll be back again."—A.K., Int., May 2010

"Tennis pro, Marc White was an excellent teacher, and very accommodating. He gladly allowed our 12 year old son to participate with a daycare camp already in progress. It was three hours every morning. Our son was so psyched up to return everyday. Marc White had fun games and prizes to keep the children entertained. Marc White's assistant coaches were also very competent. One of our son's highlights from the vacation was playing doubles with the assistant coaches after lessons concluded. He looked up to them and will remember that experience for the rest of his life.
Besides tennis, our son enjoyed playing golf with myself and my husband three times on vacation. There are shorter courses at Oglebay to accommodate all skill levels of golfers. Our daughter participated in horse riding lessons as well. The surrounding scenery was beautiful as were the swimming pools. We had a great vacation there and would return."—R.M., Beg., October 2008

"Mark is an excellent pro. Took two private lessons from him while in Wheeling on business. Taking my wife there in June, highly recommend Oglebay to players of all levels. Thanks Mark and I will see you in June."—S.V., Adv., May 2008

"I highly recommend this beautiful resort, set amongst an amazingly manicured and picturesque landscape. As always Marc White is a super teacher and makes everyone in the group feel comfortable and have fun!"—J.B., Int., May 2008

"I live in the Wheeling area and visit the tennis center at least weekly all year around. The Oglebay Park management has done a great job giving Marc White latitude to set up adult clinics and youth development programs. The local players are generally friendly and supportive of newcomers.
The Wheeling Oglebay Tennis Club could improve in the public relations area by reaching out to the local community more, by being more transparent with financial transactions, and using more innovation and imagination when setting up summer tournaments. Marc White on the other hand is a wellspring of innovative ideas designed to energize the local tennis community. Marc has helped my doubles game with coaching tips related to racquet handling and positioning strategy. I have no reluctance recommneding Marc White as a tennis instructor to my family, friends, and visitors to the Wheeling area."—D.N., Int., April 2008

"Beautiful tennis facility that was conveniently located. Will visit again soon. Also great golf courses."—M.R., Int., April 2008

Oglebay Resort & Conference Center
Wheeling, West Virginia
Once a country estate, 
this 1,700-acre property is that rare resort administered by the municipal park authority. Lately they have plowed millions of dollars into its improvement, including the renovation and expansion of the hilltop Wilson Lodge at the heart of the resort. Guests bed down in any of the lodge's 212 rooms or in one of 49 deluxe cottages with large living rooms and anywhere from two to six bedrooms.
Once there, guests can take advantage of 10 acres of gardens, two golf courses—a classic designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and the newer Spiedel course designed by Arnold Palmer—and the Oglebay Tennis Center, whose 10 clay courts are under the director of Marc S. White (there are six more clay courts elsewhere in the park). White may be familiar to some of you as the former director of the Litchfield Tennis School. Here at Oglebay, he's established both a weekly program of group and private lessons as well as his own Marc S. White Tennis School, which runs Friday-to-Sunday from May 1-October 1. Other recreation includes swimming pools, a zoo, stables, watersports on a lake, walking and jogging trails, kids camps, two museums, and a fitness center. There are also four bubbled U.S. Open blue hard courts (a cushioned surface called Classic Turf) 4 miles away in Wheeling Park.
