Here's what others have had to say about Grand Cypress Resort, Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, and Villas of Grand Cypress.

• "I had a great time working with Tennis Pro Lynn -- I did 5 hours that week, and she was able to accommodate the various times that fit my schedule. I did recall that I had to find her contact info on a site other than the Hyatt site, but that's just as well b/c then I only needed to deal with her as opposed to some hotel management. I also checked out before my last lesson (my conference was at another hotel), but it was nothing to come to the Hyatt compound even though I was no longer a guest. Lynn was patient when I needed that and yet aware enough to escalate when my skills surged. I'd quickly commit to it all again if I had to be back in Orlando"—M.L., Int., July 2022

• "We've taken our Junior Tennis players to the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress to work with Lynn for 4 years in a row. It is a highlight of their year. Lynn is fantastic to work with. She is knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. Scheduling is a breeze and the courts are lovely with both hard & clay available. Lynn formed a wonderful rapport with my teens. It is a testament to her that they practically beg to be taken on a "vacation" where they wake up early and spend hours sweating. They enjoy their time with Lynn so much that, while they are big time theme park lovers, they have never asked to schedule a park day during our trips to see her. Looking forward to year 5 at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress!"—M.Z., Int., April 2022

• "I have been coming to the tennis program at The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress at Orlando FL yearly since 5 years ago. The experiences were always so positive, encouraged and rewarding!! Lynn, tennis dierect, was supper nice, smart and skillfull. She could tailor the lesson & the clinic according to individual's level/strength/request, and made it fun & competetive. She has never shown any frustration with the students but patiently taught them & encourage them!! She is one of the nicest Pros that I've ever met. I can wait to go back next year. The tennis program at the Hyatt Regency Grant Cypress is a place to go!!!"—J.C.,  April 2022

• "Coach Lynn, the director of tennis at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, spent two days giving private lessons to my 11 and 13 year old sons. They loved every minute of the experience. She kept the lessons fun, positive, and helpful. They learned so much from Coach Lynn and wished they could be there everyday. Coach Lynn has a wealth of knowledge and experience, but she has a very special ability to help others understand it in very simple ways. We all look forward to seeing her again when we visit the Hyatt Regency in Orlando."—D.R., Int., April 2022

• "I had the pleasure of playing tennis everyday while at the resort. I would rate Lynn as one of the top three pros that I’ve ever drilled with! Her instruction and clinics were exceptional! She took the time to explain concepts and correct you if needed. Only downside was I wish she had clinics scheduled for every day of the week."—E.D., Int., April 2022

• "I participated in the tennis clinics and was impressed with the instruction. The other players were friendly and competitive. The drills were fast paced and the instructor Lynn still had time to explain and answer my questions. Overall I had an enjoyable fun social and learning experience. The clay courts were well maintained."—M.A., Adv. Int., April 2022

• "The Hyatt Grand Cypress is a beautiful hotel with lovely facilities including their wonderful tennis program. Loved everything about being there. Food, Service, amenities, sports opportunities make it first class."—S.N., Int., April 2022

• "We have visited this resort twice for the purpose of being able to have my son play tennis and also enjoy the Orlando area fun. Lynn the Pro was responsive and accommodating with private lessons for both our stays. My son liked her approach to teaching and told me he learned more from her than our Pros back home. The fact that the resort has so much to do is also a plus. We played on the 9 hole pitch and put and used the lake's paddle boats. The atmosphere is laid back and positive not stuffy or intimidating."—A.M., Adv. Int., April 2022

• "Exceptional, location, facility and pro. A private venue in the middle of Florida's tennis hub. The resort has much to offer. With world class golf, tennis, and a range of activities for all ages. A new conference center with state of the art technology."—A.I., Adv. Int., April 2020

• "Lynn,the tennis pro, is exceptional!! Spent 3 days with her!! She is awesome!! We will definitely see her again when we visit!!"—D.D., Adv., April 2020

• "A gem in Orlando. A wonderful place to combine a tennis holiday with visits to the theme parks and other attractions which make Orlando the most-visited tourist destination in the US."—G.K., Adv., March 2020

• "Came down for a tennis experience with 7 women in Feb. 2020. Excellent instruction from Lynn! She is high energy, positive and catered to our needs. I would definitely recommend The Grand Cypress Resort and Lynn for a tennis get away."—C.B., Int., February 2020

• "When deciding where to stay in Orlando I picked Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress because Lynn, the tennis pro, was very responsive and provided a tennis program for my visit. I am always looking for new tips to improve my game and different competition. With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed match play with locals and found the lesson very beneficial. She worked just not on technical skills but also strategy and mental tips. I cannot imagine staying somewhere else in Orlando!"—J.I., Int., February 2020

• "Tennis instruction with Lynn was great! I've been playing for years but found Lynn was able to give me some good pointers improving the form of both my forehand and backhand, resulting in more accurate shots. A small change can make a big difference. Also, Lynn helped to focus my strategy, making my game more successful. My 90 year old dad also had a great time hitting with Lynn, who showed him that with just a few changes, he can hit the ball harder and deeper than he's been doing for the past few years. This was my second trip to The Grand Cypress Resort. Its always been easy to work with Lynn, who is an insightful instructor and is certainly able to improve a player's game."—M.C., Adv. Int., February 2020

• "Lynn was a great tennis instructor. She was personable and easy to work with. Excellent trip. Would come back again. So valuable to have a tennis pro at the courts for instruction!"—T.I., Int., February 2020

• "Tennis Pro Lynn Bottger makes the Hyatt Regent Grand Cypress a world-class, excellent destination for tennis. We chose the Hyatt due to Lynn’s expertise, integration of multiple components: match play, private lessons & drill, round robin (all with locals as well as hotel guests). We were able to play at least 4 hours daily and Lynn provided fantastic differentiated instruction for 2.5-3.5 group. She is versatile working with lower and higher ranking individuals and groups also. Lynn is an unstoppable, positive energy force and brought much fun, knowledge, and a broad experience to our trip. The resort is a beautiful location but Lynn truly makes it hard to imagine going elsewhere as it’s hard to imagine such a comprehensive, well-integrated program elsewhere. Hope to make it back sooner than later. Thank you Lynn for the outstanding experience at The Grand Cypress Raquet Club. *"—J.V.,  February 2020

• "My wife and I just attended Grand Cypress Resort for the sole purpose of receiving daily tennis instruction during our 3-day stay. We are both 70, retired and took up tennis about 10-years ago upon retiring. Lynn Bottger, the Director of Tennis designed our program and worked with both of us over the 3-days. She did an excellent job despite our different skill levels. In summary, the program exceeded our expectations and both of us look forward to a return visit. Highly recommended and beautiful setting!"—K.F., Int., December 2019

• "The pro Lynn Bottger is so friendly and her coaching is excellent. The environment is so peaceful and well maintained. Highly recommended!"—J.T., Adv. Int., April 2019

• "Grand Cypress tennis program is amazing. My husband and I participated in a clinic during Christmas break last year and were impressed with the tennis facility and the clinic, so I decided to go back early this year for 2 weeks and took the advantage of the tennis package program. Lynn, the tennis Pro & director, was so smart and personalable. She is not only has the unique strength to identify players' style and stregth but also an exceptional listener to understand their voices and goals. I was a very active intermediate/advance players for many years but have been having difficulty to adapt the new grip/technique/style after multiple surgeries and medical issues. Even though taking many lessons from various Pros, I still couldn't get it right, especially the timing. However, after spending 2 weeks with Lynn, I felt alive-----, she pin-pointed my problems and instructed me patiently with step by step simple formular (not overwhelming me, which was very important) and also showed me how to practice by myself at home! It really worked!! Now I can hit my shots with confidence again!!! Thanks Lynn. I enjoyed the lessons and clinics very much and definitely would visit Grand Cypress again."—J.C.,  April 2019

• "I have had many tennis lessons in many different resorts and Lynn Bottger at Grand Cypress is by far the best instructor I have ever had!! She is a diagnostician and I always leave with several improvements. Lynn has a knack for tweaking my stroke in just the right way to make it more effective. She can dial right into the problem very quickly. And, she is also very accommodating for scheduling lessons. The resort is very beautiful as well. I highly recommend a visit to see Lynn! P.S. I have been to Saddlebrooke and Kiawah and other resorts and I will only keep returning to Grand Cypress whenever I go to Florida."—S.K., Int., April 2019

• "Amazing facility and pro. Pro has a unique ability to diagnose, break down and retrain tennis strokes. Also enjoys working with the younger beginners. Facility is the best private, with both hard and hartrue surfaces. A first class facility with all the amenities. A find in the middle of world class Orlando ATP tennis screen."—A.I., Adv. Int., April 2019

• "I loved this tennis club. The pro, Lynn Bottger was an amazing instructor who took the time to discover your strengths and weaknesses and then progress from there. The clinics and round robins were well structured and lots of fun and competitive. The setting is beautiful and the hard tru courts are fantastic!"—M.J., Adv. Int., April 2019

• "I have been here twice over the past few months whilst traveling in Florida. I have had a number of lessons with Lynn who is an outstanding coach. What I like is she tailored the program to me and my strengths and weaknesses. She also coached me and pushed me to develop not just an hour of hitting. Lynn also followed up with an email after I had left summarizing what we had been through and what I could continue doing after. I would highly recommend Lynn as a coach. I am a 4.0 to 4.5 player."—C.P., Adv. Int., April 2019

• "Very nice tennis resort with a terrific pro, Lynn Bottger. She is one of the best teaching pros I have ever worked with. She is always so courteous and will bend over backwards to get someone in to a lesson or clinic. I would recommend her highly and give her a 10/10."—S.A., Adv. Int., April 2019

• "Excellent tennis professionals. Great courts. Instruction is second to none. Fabulous resort."—J.B., Adv., April 2019

• "Lynn and her staff are exceptional."—M.C., Beg., April 2019

• "Upon entering the Grand Cypress gates, you are taken by the lush and serene setting just miles from the bustling Walt Disney World parks near Orlando, FL. The Grand Cypress Racquet Club lies a mile within the grounds seperate from the resort itself. But don't worry, there are shuttles, bikes, and walking paths available to patrons looking to jump on the courts. The tennis club grounds are mainly Har-Tru clay courts, with a stadium court with covered bleachers to accomodate a crowd of around 100 people, and also some very picturesque courts lakeside, there are 13 total Har-Tru clay with 2 seperate hard courts. The grounds are tended meticulously by the friendly staff, with an acute attention to detail. There are a number of instructional classes, round robins, and tournaments held here, giving options to a recreational player and also a seasoned veteran. There are many places to play tennis in Central Florida, but the Grand Cypress stands as one of the best!"—J.O., Adv. Int., October 2018

• "The Grand Cypress tennis resort is a very nice facility. I took a lesson with Lynn. She is a great instructor and I had a lot of fun. I'd like to return soon."—B.K., Int., April 2018

• "I had a great vacation here. The courts are fantastic and the head pro Lynn worked hard to find local players to play with. They get two thumbs up from me"—M.S., Adv., April 2018

• "A personal recommendation is the best endorsement and after completing three days of lessons with Lynn I sing her praises at every opportunity. Lynn's approach is focused, intense, fun and unlike most club coaches. She coaches like i would imagine a college coach would and for three days we worked on all of my strokes, analyzing what i was doing wrong and how to correct it. The facilities are great and easy to get to, and the tennis courts are near a lake making for a pleasant way to spend the morning. We would start with five minutes of mini-tennis and then work on very specific areas of my game, slowly expanding the drills to cover every facet of a particular stroke. At the end of the sessions there was the opportunity to play doubles with other visitors and locals who showed up to the doubles clinic. I will definitely be returning this year and compare my skills since last. I still use what I learnt there with Lynn, and she has improved my serve and forehand in particular."—D.O., Int., April 2018

• "Fully enjoyed my tennis play at Grand Cypress. Most people come to Orlando for attractions without realizing this amazing facility so close. Grand Cypress offers both hard court and clay courts with raquetball court to practice in. Beautiful setting. Participated in both clinic and private lesson. Well worth the money. Both pro's were exceptionally good and extremely friendly and helpful. Left with good new tips and techniques. Would highly recommend to all tennis players who travel to Orlando to check this place out."—M.P., Int., April 2018

• "I was very happy to be able to play tennis during my vacation. I felt very welcomed. The instruction and drills were great."—P.M., Adv. Int., April 2018

• "I viisted Grand Cypress in early January 2018 as my "vacataion" after a business trip. I contacted Lynn about two months before my trip and she came up with a custom set of lessons that would fit my schedule. Of course my schedule changed, but Lynn was very flexible and I ended up having a great lesson along with great conversation. What I liked most is that Lynn worked within my style of play and suggested things that enhanced my style rather than trying to make drastic changes. The facility is surrounded by a beautiful golf course; it is a very peaceful environment. It was unseasonabley chilly when I was there, but I bet that it is a great setting during the heat of summer. I definitely want to return. Note that it is near Disney and if you don't stay at Grand Cypress [I did not because I was on business at another hotel] getting there will take some time."—L.B., Int., April 2018

• "My 8 year old son and I really enjoyed our lessons with Lynn over the holidays and spring break. Lynn is warm, personable and knowledgeable. She kept my very distractible son engaged and interested, and I received lots of great tennis tips to improve my game. We will definitely be giving her a call our next visit to Orlando."—V.O., Beg., April 2018

She was the first one to customize my lessons specifically to my needs, particularly to prevent future injuries. She is energetic and very passionate about her tennis teachings. The resort was wonderful as well and booking times with her was easy. I highly recommend this resort to anyone!"—S.K., Int., April 2018

• "Lynn was great all 3 of my teenagers were better when we left- the kids have privates back home but Lynn was a higher level coach than what they were use to. My kids play at a pretty high level and she was quick to see flaws that I did not see. Would strongly recommend instruction with Lynn."—K.O., Adv. Int., April 2018

• "Excellent tennis facility and staff. Great tennis clinics and individual instruction."—J.B., Adv., April 2018

• "The courts were well maintained, the other players very nice, but a special shout-out goes to the pro, Lynn Bottger who improved my backhand immensely. I don't think she appreciated how much at the time, but my pro back home noticed the difference."—R.P., Int., April 2018

• "Excellent facility and terrific instructions. Great tennis environment with game matching and weekly tournaments. Should not miss in Central Florida/Orlando area."—J.M., Adv. Int., April 2017

• "I was visiting the Grand Cypress Resort to watch my son play in a golf tournament held there and I decided to take a tennis clinic and a tennis lesson the day before the tournament started. I had no expectations because I just wanted to hit and I had not read anything about the tennis at the Grand Cypress; the location was just convenient for me. Lynn was such an amazing tennis instructor. The clinic was helpful, fast-paced and fun. The private lesson was going so well that I expended it an additional 1/2 hour. Lynn had the ability to diagnose a problem, break down my swing and show me how to improve my technique. I left the courts feeling so happy! Later that night, I received an email reminding me what we covered in the lesson. Overall, I rate this place a "10" because of Lynn. She was awesome!"—M.P., Adv. Int., April 2017

• "Tennis at Grand Cypress is an amazing experience! The courts are fantastic, as are the clinics and lessons offered. And it's 24 hours!!! Tennis Pro Lynn Bottger is an amazing pro! She's insightful and has a great way of teaching! I can't say enough about tennis here. Some say that theme parks are the only reason to go to Orlando. I say its hands down The Grand Cypress Tennis Resort."—D.G., Adv. Int., April 2017

• "The tennis pro, Lynn at Grand Cypress Resort is fantastic. Where were staying at the Hyatt and without much notice she was able to fit me into her clinics with same level players. (I am a 4.5 female tennis player) She does a nice job of mixing local players with guests. I have recommended her to friends when they have visited FL. She is a great teaching pro for all levels and the Hyatt Grand Cypress is a lovely resort. Since going there the first time I have been back 3 times."—E.J., Adv., April 2017

• "Our whole family play tennis and had great fun. Lynn was a wonderful instructor"—G.R.,  April 2017

• "Lynn Bottger the tennis pro was so welcoming to our family. There are players of all levels and our family did not feel intimidated on the courts. Lynn was able to work on areas of concerns that we were able to adapt easily. The visual and verbal cues were like no other. I have never progressed so quickly during lessons before. She was also able to challenge our son who plays at a higher level than my husband and I. I wish our time could have been longer. When we returned home Lynn sent us an email of reminders for all of us with detailed reminders. Above and beyond! It was terrific!"—S.A., Low Int., April 2017

Lots of other restaurants close by and you never get bored exploring both on and off the resort. I would return in a heart beat!"—R.L., Adv., April 2016

I arranged an hour lesson and found her to be very responsive to what I wanted to work on.

I would definitely recommend using the facility which was in great shape and participating in the options for lessons or clinics."—J.D., Int., March 2015

I would highly recommend Lynn and her facility."—L.H., Beg., March 2015

• "Pro-Lynn Bottger: We showed up from the airport before we could check into our room, wondering if we might get a lesson and sure enough, Lynn was available and obliged. We were so impressed with the approach she took with us that we schedule a session on each of the remaining days of our stay. Our experience was exceptional because she provided the instruction we wanted and that she "intuited" from talking to us, what would be "transferrable" back to our home club. In fact, when we described our experience to our home club pro, he was able to "pick up" exactly from there. She is friendly, down to earth, intentional and you know Lynn wants/desires/will meet your needs. In addition, as you will see from the ratings, the resort is great!"—M.S., Adv. Int., March 2015

It turned out to be an absolutely amazing experience and has become my new tennis destination (we are already planning our next trip and would like to make it a yearly event). It offers an unsurpassed combination of superb low-ratio instruction, flexible scheduling/programming (I was able to conveniently do over 5 hours of tennis a day, while my partners and friends could do as many hours as they would like), and most importantly for me, the best value of any tennis camp/resort I've ever attended.

If you have a chance to play at the Hyatt Grand Cyprus I encourage you to do so!"—S.K., Int., April 2014

• "I have attended many tennis camps and clinics over the years. I must say that our instructor, Lynn, was among the most informative and effective that I have encountered.

Very helpful drills."—C.C., Int., April 2013

My wife and I would ride the bikes to the tennis courts every day. The resort sits on 1500 acres and has a small lake for water sports plus two pools. Fun place for the whole family. They have a free shuttle to Disney but we came this time for a business conference and tennis."—B.G., Int., April 2013

Lynn's clinics are dynamic and never the same drills. This year we were able to go for a week before my 6.0 team went to Nationals. My most impressive volleys Played in the tournament was due to Lynn's drills. The tennis setting is gorgeous. The courts are well maintained and it is a blast to play the round robin with the locals who come out to play."—D.E., Int., April 2013

• "My wife, my daughter and I spent 4 days at The Grand Cypress in March 2013. Lynn was very helpful in organizing our participation in a round robin, a clinic, and several hours of individual instruction and practice. Lynn is an excellent tennis teacher and gives very good technical instruction. Unlike some pros who inundate you with lots of changes, she has a real knack for identifying a limited number of key things in each stroke that result in quick and meaningful improvement. She is very personable and patient and clearly really enjoys helping people to improve their tennis.
  The tennis facilities are excellent--well maintained Har-tru courts in a lovely setting. Overall, an excellent experience and a great place to tune up your game without going to a full-up all day intensive tennis camp. Ball machine is also available if you want to practice further after the instruction. The hotel is also great. We would definitely go again."—R.C., Adv. Int., April 2013

Lynn, the instructor, was very patient and knowledgeable. Made it fun to learn and I have continuted to practice what I was taught. My mother an more experienced player also took a lesson she thought was excellent. Clean, with very nice courts in good shape. located in a quiet part of the resort. Extra raquets and balls available for guest who don't bring their own. Would definitely go here again and take lessons. The Hyatt resort is lovely and there is pleanty to do with pol, golf, lake and spa on premis. Very friendly and professional staff. Doesn't hurt that it is really close to Disney."—B.F., Beg., April 2012

• "Searched up a club in the Orlando area for some tennis last year while on a business trip and was extremely lucky to find the Grand Cypress Resort in Florida. With a single phone call I scheduled 5 hours of private lessons over three days tailored around my schedule. One hour of hitting followed by 4 hours of game improving drills. Director of tennis, Lynn Bottger, readily identified core strengths, weaknesses and focused on improving fundamentals without altering style of play.
  Strengths: Individual attention, depth of knowledge & a love for the game.
  Weaknesses: Orlando is a bit hot in July."—C.C., Adv. Int., April 2011

• "A real oasis after a couple of days at theme parks. Very nice hotel with gigantic swimming pools, a lake and beautiful grounds. Tennis courts were numerous, attractive and well maintained although they were a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Our first day, almost the entire facility was given over to a local ladies' league who seemed to think that they owned the place. The pro had held a couple of courts out, however, so we had a nice private lesson and some hitting time with the machine.
  We liked the pro but were surprised to find that there was only one pro. That meant the pro shop was closed whenever she was on the courts. I went with my 13 year old daughter who held her own in an adult clinic, but there were no other kids in sight. We went during spring break and expected to find more tennis activity. On the other hand, we liked the pro on staff. I came back hitting harder groundstrokes and pouncing on volleys. She also fixed my daughter's serve in two private lessons, and my daughter has yet to lose a match in her school league."—A.M., Adv. Int., April 2011

The entire family found Lynn Bottger who is Head of Tennis a truly brillant coach. We also enjoyed playing with local players on Saturdays all organised by Lynn.
  The atmosphere was very friendly and run very professionally. The surroundings were also excellent. Ten out of ten to Lynn Bottger as Head Coach at this resort. The only weakness was the lack of other hotel guests as tennis playing enthusiasts.This however did not hamper our enjoyment of the hotel and its superb coaching."—B.G., Int., April 2011

• "This is a great tennis destination. Not too big, not too small, and lots of individual attention. Lynn Bottger is outstanding. She will work to fit you in to whatever drills, matches, or other activities they have going on. She'll also find you a hitting partner, either from the local players or from someone else at the resort. Even though there are lots of options, local people who live in Orlando play here. When I'm in Orlando, even if I am not staying at this resort, I still drop by to play tennis at this friendly, professional facility (although if I can, I like staying at the hotel. It's got great walking trails and pools)."—L.G., Low Int., April 2010

• "My family and I had one of the best vacations we've ever had at the Grand Cypress Resort and Racquet Club. Lynn Bottger was especially great to work with because: 1)She customized a tennis program for us that addressed the strokes we wanted to work on and worked around our vacation schedule. 2)During the lessons, she took apart my groundstroke to eliminate the bad habits (and tennis elbow pain) I had developed over the years- something that no other coach I've ever been to in the past has taken the time to do. 3)She got my kids (age 4 and 6) excited about tennis and beginning to hit the ball with a proper groundstroke (from low to high!) I highly recommend Grand Cypress."—B.B., Int., April 2010

• "Excellent private lessons given by pro Lynn Bottger. My husband and I were part of a family trip to Disney World. Each morning we took an hour and half lesson with Lynn. Lessons fine-tuned to our individual needs were both demanding and fun and made a huge impact on my play! Next time I'm in Orlando, I'm on the courts with Lynn!"—A.K., Int., April 2010

• "The tennis facilities at Grand Cypress Resort are great. More importantly, Lynn Bottger is an exceptional tennis instructor. Lynn worked with my two daughters (ages 6 and 9) and my wife for 5 days. I saw tremendous improvement in everyone's game. My family had a wonderful experience!"—J.L., Adv. Int., April 2010

• "While on a short vacation in the Orlando area I had the distinct pleasure of taking two lessons with Lynn Bottger, the head pro. Lynn was spot on in identifying a facet of my game that needed improvement almost immediately. Now, with my many weaknesses that’s not surprising. What was remarkable was that she guided my play to create a tremendous improvement in that weakness in the two hours that I spent with her. It was, without a doubt, the largest and quickest improvement in my game. Lynn is also a very warm and friendly person with whom you feel an instant rapport. I do look forward to returning to Orlando just to be under her tutelage again soon!"—K.R., Int., April 2010

• "Lynn Bottger and the facilities at Grand Cypress are amazing. I've had lessons from many pros and Lynn was exceptional.

She also loves the fame and it's always a pleasure swaping stories and experiences. Whenever I seriously want to eaise my game, I go see Lynn Bottger at the Grand Cypress Resort."—L.H., Int., April 2010

• "Lynn Bottger, the Head Pro, is an exceptional teaching professional. She analyzed the weak points in my game and broke it down to its most basic level. As a result, I have seen a major difference in my serves and my backhand, both of which needed major work. My 8 yr. old son too enjoyed Lynn's lessons and wants to go back. We are looking forward to another visit with Lynn."—M.A., Adv. Int., April 2010

• "Extremely family friendly and first rate teaching. The lead pro designed a custom schedule for us that included lessons for my wife and I as well as my two kids. We were invited to the regular round robin sessions with locals and were made very welcome. Lessons were very focused on development areas ased upon a detailed discussion up front. All in all a great experience."—S.B., Int., April 2010

• "We are not Disney people, so to get us to Orlando took a special reason. We had heard that the Pro was exceptional and risked five days in chain restaurant hell to check it out. Lynn, The Head Pro, made the entire trip worthwhile. She is a true "teaching professional". She understands how to analyze your game, identify what needs to be improved, how to improve it and how to make it stick.
  Our experience was anything but the usual "this is a forehand....this is a backhand..." mentality of most places. The resort itself is beautiful. We stayed in a lovely villa which overlooked a small lake and the golf course. There was a nice restaurant (Hemingways) on the property and the Golf Club restaurant had a good selection of salads, burgers and sandwiches. The resort staff was extremely well trained and helpful."—K.B., Adv. Int., October 2009

• "The greatest strength is the tennis instruction."—A.T., Int., April 2009

• "This is a terrific resort and a great tennis program, if you like individualized instruction more than the mass approach. After about ten lengthy visits over the last fifteen years, my game is much improved and Lynn, the head pro, has become a good friend. She is the reason that my family and I keep coming back to Orlando. It's not Disney World, it's Lynn's eagle eye: she fixes my game after it slips for a year back in Ohio.
  Clinics are available twice a day, and since this is a golf resort, you usually get the pro to yourself or with a couple of other guests. Stay at either the villas or the hotel, and call Lynn ahead of time and she will arrange a tennis package, with discounted room and lesson rates. It's a winner, to be sure."—E.P., Adv. Int., April 2009

• "I went for a disney vacation with my family and also wanted to work on my tennis. We stayed at a condo close to the Grand cypress and worked with Lynn to have the early bird tennis lesson for 4 days. Lynn was most gracious and accomodated my needs. She was very professional and spent some time identifying my needs in terms of tennis(working on the one handed backhand).
  After identifying my needs she broke the instruction into distinctive sets and working on it individually. Once I mastered the basics we would add another variable into the equation. Overall in 4 coaching sessions , my backhand improved considerably and I am extremely happy that Lynn worked with me. The tennis courts at Grand Cypress are in a beautiful locale and it is great place. I plan to stay at the Grand Cypress next time having seen the lodge."—C.M., Adv. Int., April 2009
