Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States, and California has quietly become one of the most exciting states in the country to play it.
The luxury sports vacation has evolved. Travelers are no longer content to spend a week in a beach chair. They want mornings of competitive drills, afternoons of doubles, and evenings of farm-to-table dining with a mountain view.
Few states in America have cultivated such a storied, year-round tennis culture, and fewer still can claim a concentration of world-ranked resorts like the Palmetto State.
