  • 5-Ball Rating "We recently brought a group of 15 men and women to Boar's Head and were not disappointed. The 4 pros assigned to our group were each amazing in both their instruction and their ability to connect and communicate with each person in our group. We began learning the second we went on the courts and it didn't end even after we left the court. In fact, our group continued to discuss over dinner what we learned in each drill and how it might solve court situations that have perplexed us in the past. It was apparent that the pros re-evaluated the drills given what they were seeing on the courts and each pro had unique perspectives on our play. The facilities were lovely. While we played inside, we toured the outside courts which featured both hard and clay surfaces. The professional appearance of the facilities enriched the experience and gave our group extra inspiration. Negatives included slight difficulty in finding accommodations nearby and a less than stellar pro shop; both minor compared to the overall experience."—G.D., Adv. Int., April 2018

  • 4½-Ball Rating "Boars Head is nestled in the beautiful Virginia rolling hills and has an excellent tennis program. The courts are very well maintained and the facilities are beautiful and highly functional. The coaching staff has a lot of experience, but what sets them apart is their attention to each player and their very apparent LOVE for tennis. Had a blast!"—C.B., Adv. Int., December 2017

  • 5-Ball Rating "Boarshead tennis camp has given our son the love of tennis. The instructors have made it that the kids don't want to get off the court and enjoy playing with each other after, forming great friendships (and life lessons) away from today's world of technology. Amazing."—T.N., Low Int., November 2017

  • 4½-Ball Rating "I am a club member and very much enjoy the Tennis program. The pros are great, selection of tennis clinics and courts for play. There has been an increased interest by resort guests which I like...to meet and play with different people. This past fall there was a guest who fled one of the hurricanes in Florida. Her name was Jasmine and she was a good player. She came to clinics daily and we became friends. She has family in the area and plans to come back when in town. That is a good sign for Boars Head....how I feel about Tennis resorts I visit in my travels."—J.M., Adv. Int., November 2017
  • 4½-Ball Rating "The Boar's Head is an amazing place. It is the perfect place for families and retirees alike. The staff at this Sports club and Resort are helpful and accommodating. They make the experience even more special. Whether you want to be a full time member or you are visiting short term, the Boar's Head is the place to be."—B.B., Int., November 2017
  • 5-Ball Rating "I absolutely loved my time spent hitting at the Boar's Head Sports Club. Dave was just one of the many amazing instructors who absolutely served as a role model for both respect & professionalism as he was both persevering & tireless with his teaching. Dave was always so positive & he was quickly able to see his students abilities & limitations. He made it his priority, to look for the quintessential experience for each, & all of his students!!! Looking for a truly fabulous time learning new techniques with your tennis & having a wonderful experience? Well, then Boar's Head should be your new Tennis Destination!!! It was an absolutely beautiful, breathtaking & fun place to visit in the Blue Ridge Mountains, & you can have a fabulous time playing tennis for sure, along with all of the other wonderful things available!!!"—A.R., Adv.

  • 4½-Ball Rating "I attended the Boar's Head Tennis Academy with 11 other ladies over a weekend in September. The 3 guys, Jon, Dave and Troy, were very knowledgeable with regards to tennis, friendly, encouraging and helpful with our game. We were on 3 side by side courts with the guys rotating through the courts and changing the players up so that we did not spend 8 hours with the same group of ladies the whole weekend. We did a lot of drills and they corrected us where we were going wrong. The drills are done at a fast pace, instructions shown at a slower pace and there is very little standing around while they demonstrate the drill. We were constantly on the move. Definitely something we will do again."—D.T., Adv. Int., September 2017
  • 4½-Ball Rating "Recently did a weekend tennis academy at the Boars Head Sports Club. We had three pro's working with us. The instruction was top of the line, the pro's were very positive and encouraging in their teaching methods. They were also very open to hearing suggestions on what we liked and if there was anything we disliked. With a group of 12 ladies our time spent on the courts was very high quality and a lot of play time involved. The facility was easy to find, the amenities inside were of high standard and we definitely got our moneys worth. Can't wait to return again in the Spring!"—L.L., Adv., September 2017
