Chatham Bars Inn

Chatham, Massachusetts

Perched on a bluff looking out across a bay at the long sandy strip of Chatham Bars and the Atlantic beyond, the Chatham Bars Inn belongs to the tradition of grand oceanfront hotels, its 217 rooms (78 of them suites) divided among the original 1914 inn and 28 cottages, some along the beach, others behind the hotel near the spa. Its an alluring setting to which the hotel adds an easy camaraderie fostered by gathering places like its South Lounge, Library, and Veranda, the latter a favorite locale for morning coffee or late afternoon cocktails thanks to that soothing eastward view. To check in is to relax.

During the day the beach and pool draw crowds while others divide their time between the Spa and three Classic Clay tennis courts, the last laid out just to the south of the beach club and a short stroll from the beach. Tennis director Tucker Lang oversees the tennis program, which runs from Memorial Tucker Lang, Chatham Bars Inn, Chatham, MADay into September, backed by an assistant pro for the ultra-busy July 4-Labor Day period. Together they run one or more adult clinics every morning—variously men's, women's, open, and Cardio—supplemented by afternoon junior clinics in age divisions from 4 to 12+. They also run one evening session for teens.

After playing college tennis for Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL he taught at the IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy, where he worked with top-ranked juniors and such pros as Maria Sharapova and Tatiana Golovin, before moving on to various resort positions, including the Resort at Longboat Key Club in Florida, where he teaches during the winter. Court Complex. 3 Classic Clay courts and a small pro shop.
