Top Tennis And Pickleball
Resorts & Camps For 2023

Tennis Resorts Online has just published its rankings of the Top Tennis and Pickleball Resorts and Camps For 2023. As in the past, we relied on the reviews of players like you who have first-hand knowledge of the quality of a resort's features, on court and off. The criteria we incorporate encompass a broad spectrum of attributes. The racquet-sports sections ask vacationers to rate the overall tennis or pickleball experience, the professionalism of the teaching staff, the depth of the programming, the ease of finding a game, the quality of the pro shop goods and services, and the appeal of simply hanging around the courts. These characteristics form the backbone of a rewarding racquet-sports holiday. But creature comforts matter as well, so we factor in such features as lodging, cuisine, dollar value, and a broad range of other resort amenities. All told, more than a dozen criteria are used to compile our annual rankings. For more information and to see how your favorites ranked, visit Top Tennis and Pickleball Resorts and Camps For 2023.

The Guide To Taking Your Racquet On the Road

Since 1999, Tennis Resorts Online has been helping vacationers decide where to go on their next tennis holiday. I've made a career of giving such advice, initially as Tennis magazine's travel and resorts editor and since 1999 as the founder of this website. What you see here are not paid listings but the descriptions—provided without cost to resorts and camps—of those properties our staff feel are worthy of your attention. Over the course of several decades, TRO's staff has visited more than 350 resorts on five continents and participated in some 50 different tennis camps, many more than once. It is that personal experience—supplemented now by reviews submitted by vacationers like you—that underpins this website.

Finding the Tennis or Pickleball Resort or Camp That's Best For You

What you'll find on these and the following pages is a suite of tools to help you make an informed choice on where to go. Start by checking out the rankings of the Top 100 Tennis and Pickleball Resorts and Camps, which we base solely on the reviews submitted by people like you. For more personal advice, use the "Tailored Search" form that lets you specify precisely the features you're looking for in a resort or camp. Those results link to our personal descriptions, which are supplemented by the reviews—good or bad—of others who themselves have been there. There are also maps of what can be found in six different regions of the U.S. and one for Europe. Every property we list appears in a master index, listing both alphabetically and by state, region, or country. There is also a section devoted to junior camps, though since I'm a little old to participate in any of those we've had to settle for writing a description and let those juniors who've attended or their parents write personal reviews. To supplement all of this we've included a calendar of events taking place at tennis properties across the globe. We also ask resorts or camps to put together packages that offer special discounts or perks to Tennis Resorts Online readers. You can contact us at .

  • 4½-Ball Rating Van Der Meer Tennis, Shipyard, South Carolina
    "I've been vacationing on HHI for years and taken private lessons very early in the AM every year. I was very happy to find out that Dhiren Patel was back on staff this summer. He is an excellent coach and even though I've been taking lessons for years he always adds something to my game. This year we had Dhiren give a lesson to our 5 and 6 year old boys. He managed to keep them happy and active for an hour. They had so much fun that they can't wait to take another lesson. If you are on the island in the summer be sure to check out Van Der Meer Shipyard and ask for Dhiren."—C.C., Int., August 2022
  • 4½-Ball Rating Sea Colony, Delaware
    "Best overall beach/pickleball/tennis resort in the East! Especially if you are a multisport athlete. So many pools, the beach, tennis, pickleball, great gyms (2!), and close to tons of great restaurants! Wonderful family resort! GREAT staff!"—J.K., Int., December 2022
  • 4½-Ball Rating Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii, Hawaii
    "Great tennis resort. Rudy, the owner, gives personal service making sure the clients needs are known and addresses. Great adult and children’s private lessons. Thanks Rudy, we will be back next year."—J.F., Beg., December 2022
  • 4½-Ball Rating Omni Amelia Island Resort, Florida
    "Want to take your doubles game to the next level ... spend a few days at the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Academy (CDT) on Amelia Island. Instruction and match play with Rob (Director), and any of his teaching pros (Elliot, Sam, Brian, and Thien) and you will not be disappointed...caution, not for the "couch potato" crowd."—G.M., Adv. Int., February 2023
  • 4½-Ball Rating Hanalei Bay Resort, Hawaii
    "The tennis at Hanalei Bay was amazing! Mary the tennis pro was extremely warm and welcoming. My 8 year old son and I took a private lesson on our last day and Mary was amazing at teaching both of us!! We had a blast and wish we had taken lessons from day 1! My son says 10/10 and 20 stars!"—K.W., Low Int., March 2023
