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

Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club, South Carolina
"Dale Brown is an outstanding coach. He explains everything very clearly and is particularly good at keeping it simple so it is easily understood and more likely to be retained.
I learned so much from him this past week and really enjoyed myself at the same time.
The resort is beautiful and the courts are superb.
I plan to go back next year and I met several people who like it so much they return repeatedly."—K.N., Int., April 2023

Brady Tennis Camp, California
"Great tennis camp! 3 solid hours of drills and game play, with good feedback from the coaches on strokes and strategy. The groups were full of good players, many with league/tournament experience. I look forward to going again! Highly recommended!"—P.K., Int., March 2023

Williamsburg Inn, Virginia USA
"I stayed for 12 days because of Hoy Correll's teaching and have been playing tennis for several decades, including college and competitive tournament play, with an attitude there is always more to learn and improve with a competent pro. Hoy is that person, and he went out of his way to accommodate me and also to teach my son in scheduling time, even making contingency plans for bad weather."—N.K., Adv., May 2023

Four Seasons Resort Nevis, Nevis, West Indies
"We had a terrific experience at the Four Seasons in Nevis. As a family, we enjoy the outdoors and sports, especially racket sports.
My son and I both played tennis with Jose who was terrific. He made my son, who is a competitive junior, feel right at home. And he made me, a former professional tennis player, feel right at home.
Jose also understood we were on vacation and straddled our desire to play “real” tennis with the fact that we were there to enjoy ourselves.
I was also extremely impressed by our pickle ball instructor. My wife and I played with friends of ours and it was the first time playing pickle ball for all of us. Very social and informative."—S.S., Pro, April 2023

Kiawah Island Golf Resort, South Carolina
"Beautiful resort. The bus service very convient
The tennis instruction and opportunity to play. Super
The pickle courts good
Pro shop merchandise wide selection
Probably the best is the staff throughout the whole resort. Everyone happy and so very helpful.
One individual who was so helpful was luke williams at the tennis area.
It’s wonderful to see people who work very hard and enjoy doing it"—K.W., Adv. Int., April 2023
