Here's what others have had to say about South Beach Racquet Club.

  • 5-Ball Rating "This beautifully located club near the uncrowded foot of the island offers the perfect combination of friendliness and efficiency, carefully groomed courts yet ease of access, serious team play but also relaxed informal groups. Rachel and Don keep a watchful and supportive lookout on the many activities, including now a perky pickleball contingent. Brian and other coaches offer top-notch instruction at every level. The team of courteous and skilled staff ladies handling bookings somehow always comes up with a free court even when the club seems at its busiest. The pro shop carries the best racquets and gear at reasonable prices. The whole setup is ideal for all who want to enjoy tennis during their stay, however long, on Hilton Head Island. I could not imagine being here without this facility."—K.A., Adv., May 2020

  • 4½-Ball Rating "If you are searching for high end glitz and glamor, Hilton Head is not the correct choice for your vacation. However, if a laid back low country beach atmosphere supported by a family atmosphere sounds appealing Sea Pines on Hilton Head Island is for you. During our years of vacationing in Sea Pines I have participated in drills and round robins at a variety of the local tennis camps. This year scheduling resulting in my trying the drills at the SOUTH BEACH RACQUET CLUB, the experience was fantastic. Again, nothing “fancy” just well maintained courts, an extremely courteous and helpful staff, and good tennis. The pro who conducted our drills is named Angela. Now admittedly there were only a couple of participants in the drills, but in 5 minutes she began asking question about our different strokes. Was this comfortable, did I feel off balance, etc. With just a couple of minor modifications, my stroke improved, it felt more comfortable and the percentage hitting in bounds increased."—L.H., Int., May 2017
  • 5-Ball Rating "I greatly enjoyed South Beach Racquet Club. I did the daily stroke and drill clinic each day during our recent vacation. Very fun, lots of balls, great workout.

The tennis drills have always been very helpful as well."—M.G., Int., March 2017
  • 4½-Ball Rating "Garrett Leal, the Head Tennis Professional is excellent and highly recommended. As I am a low intermediate player, and not naturally athletic, he was able to analyze my many mistakes and help me correct them. I can see improvement quickly when I remember to implement them. In the lessons he is unfailingly supportive and positive and empathizes with my not fully comprehending and implementing immediately. He remembers one's game and in passing a court on which I am playing, he will sometimes call out and compliment my succussful whatever, or suggests a better approach on my technique.

We were not disappointed. We are returning to the area and the South Beach Racquet Club next year. Why you ask? The tennis club is so very welcoming and committed to providing a superior tennis experience. The courts are well maintained and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. The club pro Garrett has the characteristics that all great instructors possess. He is able to instruct, motivate and give the participants of his private lessons and group activities a great deal of fun. You will come away with a smile on your face and added confidence in your abilities. The other great asset of the club is its members. They are welcoming and encouraging. Members such as Lisa help visitors become part of the greater tennis community that is SBRC. Being invited to play with other club members makes this a truly memorable tennis experience.

  • 4½-Ball Rating "Awesome tennis club. Was there for a long tennis weekend. Had a clinc with their pro and played tennis on their wonderfully maintained tennis courts. Very friendly staff and great tennis shop with all the latest apparel. Just a few minutes from the beach and great dining. Right next door to Salty Dog Cafe. A hop skip and a jump from Charlotte. Highly recommend it for a ladies tennis team get away."—S.H., Int., January 2010
  • 5-Ball Rating "South Beach Racket Club is so inviting with the beauty of the Club and tennis courts, a perfect location in Hilton Head. The staff is professional, friendly and very helpful! The tennis shop has the latest and most beautiful tennis fashion and the tennis lessons will last a life time!"—S.N., Adv., January 2010
  • 4-Ball Rating "Excellent facility with a top notch staff. Head pro, Michael O'Keefe, is quite good as an instructor. surroundings are beautiful"—R.M., Int., November 2009
  • 4-Ball Rating "Great all-around experience. Mike was awesome with both my daughter and myself. Keith took the time with my 7 year old son, and then took more time to talk thru some pointers with me. No question there is great value here. Cant wait to get back there next year for 2 weeks."—G.G., Int., August 2009
  • 4½-Ball Rating "What a great surprise! I almost want to keep this place a secret. Everything was right about SBRC. I came down with 5 other ladies from my tennis team and took a couple of clinics with Michael and Keith. I've learned that you can teach an old dog new tricks! They were VERY good at helping us to improve our game on both the singles and doubles courts.
    Michael and Keith were very accommodating to each of our needs and they never seemed to run out of energy or enthusiasm. The facility is beautiful and the courts play great. It was an overall wonderful experience. We are all excited about returning in the Fall."

  • 4-Ball Rating "Affordable, relaxed atmosphere along with good tennis instruction. My 10 year old twins have played tennis here for the past two years and we will be returning. Mike O'Keefe, Dir. of Tennis is wonderful with children and their parents."—B.B., Int., July 2009
  • 5-Ball Rating "A very friendly tennis club which welcomes vacationers and has some great clinics and events. Michael O'Keefe, the director of tennis and the chief pro, is a great teacher for all levels and who believes tennis should be fun, And that is what he makes it: fun. He breaks down your strokes and creates solutions to problems that are specific to your needs, not just cookie cutter instruction."—A.D., Adv. Int., March 2009
  • 5-Ball Rating "We just started to play at this facility, having used other ones on Hilton Head before. This was the best we've tried so far. The layout of the club is very attractive; the courts are in very good condition; the staff are pleasant and helpful. The outstanding attraction, however, was the pro, Michael O'Keefe. He is an outstanding professional who gives great lessons and clinics. His greatest strength is that he doesn't teach by rote, but really tailors his instruction to your needs. He gave my completely different directions to my wife and I over our serves, because we both had different needs. My only hope is that he stays there so that when we return in September we can take up from where he left off."—P.H., Adv. Int., March 2009
  • 5-Ball Rating "The best kept secret on the Island, after wasting our time visiting the "larger" tennis resorts we stopped by the South Beach Racquet Club and met Michael (teaching pro) who immediately put together a goup of 8 players arranged for a mini round robin match, he even stayed late and participated in it. The owner's (Don and Rachel Sigmon) manage the club and they have managed to create one of the most enjoyable tennis experiences that we will never forget. This club is a must for any first time visitors to HHI looking for a place to find a match in a most pleasant environment."—V.B., Adv., February 2009
  • 5-Ball Rating "I loved it there. They have excellent services. The resort that I was in was great. The coach that taught me tennis was outstanding. I wished that I can stay in my vacation much longer, so I can stay in that resort."—A.K., Int., January 2009
