"If you’re looking for a great place to play tennis in the Destin area, Hiiden Dunes is the place to go. First of all, no monthly membership or joining fees. Just $15 to play for 1.5 hours on very nice clay courts. The added bonus is...if you don’t have a foursome, they have others in the community who can be contacted to play with you or you with them. All the ladies I have played with this winter are great players, good sports, play for fun and you will become friends with them very quickly. Also, the staff are friendly, call you by name, treat you like family & operate the resort with such skill that it runs like a well oiled machine. If you need to improve your game (who doesn’t) and need a pro to work with, Renee is the person to see! She is an amazing teacher. It has been said, “not all who teach can teach!” This is very true. Well, Renee is a gifted teacher who can communicate/demonstrate the correct techiniques so well that you can actually do what she teaches! ! Amazing! She has a way of building your confidence as she encourages & pushes you to change the old habits for techniques & strategies that will improve your game very quickly if you will listen & practice. I’m now determined to go home a better player because of Renee. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a lesson with her. You will not be disappointed. I rarely write a review, but the staff at Hidden Dunes deserve kudos for their hard work in making this resort a great place to spend the winter months playing tennis, making new friends & always leaving with a smile on your face. ??.

"In late October, my wife and I, along with 7 other couples, all of whom play tennis at varying levels spent one glorious week at Hidden Dues. George, Rene, and the entire staff do an excellent job. They had everyone's name down pat on the very first day. The courts are always in terrific condition.
They will even help match players up with other comparable rated players and if someone doesn't show, one of the staff will fill if they don't have other immediate responsibilities.
I would recommend this facility anyone at any tennis level and by the way the entire grounds are well kept and the property extends from Hwy 98 all the way to the Gulf.
The only weakness I can even think of is maybe sometime during the year, six clay courts may not be enough."—L.C., Adv. Int., November 2017

"We had 16 people visit Hidden Dunes in October to play doubles and mixed doubles for a week. Renee and George were awesome hosts/pros and always provided great service and instruction . If we lacked enough players they filled in themselves or found someone to fill the fourth spot. They run a great facility and always manage the court time so that we played as much as we hoped. Their clinics are challenging and instructive and their private lessons will give your game the boost to take it to the next level.

The staff are always helpful and accommodating. The clay courts can be a little on the dry side, which is great if you'd prefer not to come home with 1/4 of surfacing in your shoes. Clinics are very well attended during the snow bird and spring breaks months.

"We do a men's yearly tennis outing and utilize Hidden Dunes Beach & Tennis Resort and the facility is outstanding. Tennis staff is tremendous and works with us and makes courts available for the times we want to play (morning and afternoon matches). All we do is show up and play and everything is prearranged for our week. Our group has been doing this for 25 years and 23 of those have been done at Hidden Dunes because of their tremendous hospitality. Highly recommend this facility."—J.B., Int., November 2015

"Hidden Dunes is truly a 'hidden gem', situated right on the gulf in Florida's Panhandle. If you're a tennis enthusiast and prefer a low-key environment , this wonderful, unpretentious resort is for you. Heading out on US Hwy. 98, don't blink, for you may well miss the entrance.
Having spent my second Girls' Tennis Weekend at HD very recently, I have to say it was just as wonderful a time as when we where there this past April. The cottages and the grounds are quaint, charming and inviting. I love all the palmettos and live oaks with the walking paths meandering through the property and the calming water features, which are beautifully lit at night.
The clay courts are well-maintained and the staff/ pros gave all of us valuable doubles instruction/strategy.
We're already planning our third Tennis Get-A-Way to Hidden Dunes."—K.S., Int., September 2014

One of the few I found that allows visitors to drop in without a member. Tennis Directors Renee and George do a great job in running clinics to challenge every skill level. Pro shop manager Anne was great, and put together a singles match and doubles match during my stay in Destin. (She also has some great dining recommendations). Great staff and facility.

In addition, there are adult clinics offered almost everyday of the week. The courts are meticulously maintained.
My family stayed in a beautiful cottage within walking distance of the beach & the 3 pools. The grounds are lush & beautiful & my family enjoyed the strolling through the gardens.
