While the Hilton Head tennis scene may sometimes be overshadowed by the islands famous golf scene, the truth is that Hilton Head Island offers tennis enthusiasts a world-class experience.  The island boasts 300 tennis courts, with plenty of choices for those who prefer to play indoors or outdoors.  Of these many tennis courts, four of them have been ranked among the nations 50 best by Tennis Magazine.  This is a great place to vacation or live if you love to play tennis. 

One of the premiere tennis courts on Hilton Head is the Port Royal Racquet Club.  It features 16 courts and can accommodate guests at its villas.  For those preferring a more traditional hotel, the club can arrange for you to stay at the Westin Resort, a beachfront hotel located nearby.  One of the specialties of the Port Royal Racquet Club is its ability to cater to the needs of groups, whether they consist of three or four Hilton Head tennis enthusiasts or a larger group of 50 or more.  The staff tailors each tennis-and- accommodations package according to the needs of the group.  However, individuals will find their service to be equally excellent, providing you with practice drills, training, and court time according to your needs or wants.  The friendly and helpful staff makes the Port Royal Racquet Club a first-class Hilton Head tennis experience. 

Another of the great Hilton Head tennis offerings is located on Shipyard Plantation.  The Van der Meer Racquet Club, like the Port Royal Racquet Club, is one of Tennis Magazines Top 50 tennis courts in the nation.  It has a total of 23 individual courts, including three indoor courts.  There is a strong emphasis here on improving your tennis game, with extensive clinics offered over several days as well as single-day clinics.  The training is offered at different levels, with beginning clinics for both children and adults wanting to learn the basics of the game, and advanced clinics for experienced players looking to hone their skills.  The Van der Meer Racquet Club is a great option for those looking to improve their game. 

The other two ranked Hilton Head tennis courts are the Rod Laver Tennis Center at Palmetto Dunes and the Sea Pines Racquet Club.  The Rod Laver Tennis Center is home to 25 world-class tennis courts, and the Sea Pines Racquet Club boasts some particularly high numbers with Tennis Magazine number 7 on its list of top tennis resorts and number 1 for its actual tennis programs, making it another great choice for those looking to improve their game.  If you are a tennis enthusiast, you owe it to yourself to check out the world-class offerings on the Hilton Head tennis scene.
