It might be tempting to settle into your spacious one-bedroom suite at Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa—the smallest rooms in the central tower are still a generous 700 square feet—and simply unwind after spending the afternoon exploring the historic sites of St. Augustine, just 25 miles to the north.
However, just to the east, two miles of pristine beach stretch out, bordered not by houses but by dunes and the lush expanse of golf fairways. “Tennis can wait until tomorrow,” my friend suggests. “Let’s go walk on the beach.” Indeed, the resort offers a full two miles of unspoiled coastline in Palm Coast. At its heart, two 12-story towers of luxury suites rise above an array of swimming pools, event lawns, a lake, and golf fairways. Additional accommodations include a two-story Lodge with 20 more rooms, the golf pro shop, the ocean-view Atlantic Grille, low-rise villas with up to four bedrooms, a spa, a fitness center, and several other restaurants. All of this is within easy walking distance, but the tennis courts are nearly three miles away at Yacht Harbor Village, a marina on the Matanzas River. A free shuttle or a short drive takes you there, where you’ll find eight lighted Hydro-Grid clay courts arranged in pairs along a long line anchored by a clubhouse with a modest pro shop, restrooms, and a covered plaza. Palm trees and oleander hedges frame the well-maintained courts, overseen by the personable and enthusiastic veteran teaching pro, Gene Paul Lascano.

We went for a tennis weekend with our team and the instructors were great. They were so friendly and knowledgeable. I personally learned a lot from all of them.
Took 4 lessons here over 4 days with the pro Maja. Went from a beginner who couldn’t swing a racket to someone much improved that could sustain a rally. Instructors knowledgeable and patient. Great beginner tennis experience.
Had a fun 3.5 Friday morning clinic this morning with their new teaching pro from Sweden. She combined fun with light instruction. Almost a cardio-tennis class in that she kept us moving and changed teams and drills frequently without too many breaks. Perfect for resort setting. Interesting that there are not more women teaching pros. They are great and should have every opportunity for career progression in our industry.
Wish they had afternoon and evening clinics, but they do offer privates almost any hour.
The tennis facility itself(2 miles from the main resort) is excellent, both tennis(clay) and pickleball. Four working tennis pros on-hand as far as I could see.
Limited tennis shop and off-court amenities, but everything was well maintained with adequate parking, decent paved and bricked surfaces, and facilities security helpful and apparent.
This resort is a real sleeper and priced very reasonably. It deserves more positive publicity.
Gene and his team are great! Always there to answer any questions or help in anyway they can. Courts are always in tip top condition, my wife and I love playing there.
We had a super fun girls tennis trip at hammock beach resort
My first trip to Hammock Beach. Gene Paul and Don were so much fun and very informative. We had such a good time I wish we had more days to do more drills. Love the facility and the courts. Hopefully next time we can add some pickleball into our tennis also. Can’t wait to come back
Two days of tennis drills lead by Gene Paul. Excellent drills for 4.0 team. Good pace and fun atmosphere.
Perfect resort for a tennis getaway! Love the drills put on by the pros. Will cater your tennis to the needs of your team.
Love playing tennis at Hammock Beach. Gene and Don are so friendly and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere!
I have been coming to Hammock Beach Resort for over 10 years with a group of tennis friends. We thoroughly enjoy the tennis clinics provided by Gene Paul and Don. Their instruction is not only on point and helpful but full of fun and laughs. The tennis facility itself is always in top form and it is clear the staff works hard to keep the courts in top shape.
Great stay, dining experiences and tennis lessons! The tennis staff were fun and friendly.
We had a group of 6 ladies, and it was the best tennis weekend! Gene and Don made clinic so fun and we enjoyed the pool and the beach I. The afternoon! Will definitely be back!
Gene and Steve at the tennis center are excellent. Very oncoming. Great pickleball group
Great girls’ trip destination. Beautiful resort & the tennis pros at Hammock Beach were awesome!
I have been taking lessons with coach Gene for many years now and he has also coached my kids. He is very engaging, energetic and always positive. His love for the game shines through and he instills that love in those he instructs. I would highly recommend him as a tennis instructor for any one as he has a great demeanor that is suitable for all ages.
I attended three days of tennis clinics and social round robin play with my friends in April of 2024. Hammock beach resort is beautiful and its tennis facilities are top notch. Our instructors, Gene-Paul and Don, were incredible. They focused on doubles strategy and positioning while making the drills fun and energetic. I would highly recommend them and definitely hope to return for another tennis trip in the future.
Had a great time, learned a lot and really enjoyed the pros. Beautiful and clean resort.
The Hammock tennis facility in yacht harbor village is a great facility. The courts are very well kept and they are right alongside the intra coastal waterway making it very scenic. My wife and I have taken the doubles strategy clinic with Gene Paul several times and it has been the most helpful in improving our game. I doubt you’ll ever find a tennis pro as knowledgeable and with such a great personality as Gene Paul Lascano! I highly recommend the Hammock resort. We just visited in April of 2024.
Clayton and Gene were great at the tennis center. Very nice and welcoming, skilled at teaching and high energy. They were fun and excellent teachers. I had a great time!
This was my second year visiting Hammock Beach and my mom and I were so glad that we came back. The tennis clinics are awesome and we both left feeling like our game had improved. We also had so much fun and the instructors were excellent and very accommodating!
Gene Paul is a phenomenal tennis professional.
Food is very good. Breakfast is great value for the view at the Atlantic Grill. Beach chairs should be part of the package when staying at a resort on the beach. The charge of $15 for chairs or umbrellas is petty. Make it part of the room charge, don’t be so petty. $60 for a family to sit on the beach? Come on. Our Golf sales rep is amazing! Hats off to Lewis! The tennis and pickleball director is a wonderful host. His interaction with his players is tremendous! The restaurant staff is friendly. We were texted at the start of the weekend that live entertainment would be available and to be sure to attend, but when we tried, no such entertainment existed. Definitely screwed up our evening plans. Overall a remarkable place with amazing picturesque views and memorable scenic experiences. There is a feel that a cost cutting and penny pinching corporation has acquired the report, walking over dollars to pick up dimes. Thanks for listening!
We love this beautifully maintained, family friendly resort.
Fantastic resort. Tennis staff is top notch. We vacation down here with the kids now 2 years in a row. My daughter has taken private tennis lessons both times. It has been a highlight of our trip each year.
My daughter and I took full advantage of the tennis program and the staff was exceptional. They were always very enthusiastic and extremely helpful in improving our game. They also made it a lot of fun. This is our second year at Hammock Beach and we are planning on coming again next year. We would highly recommend it to our friends.
Hammock Beach Resort has a wide variety of activities that appeal to all generations. They make it so easy to have common experiences, in tennis, pickle ball, golf, relaxation, you name it. The tennis center in particular is the main reason we go. For the past 3 years, my family of 5 has been going and my wife two teenagers and 7 year old and I love it. I have taken many tennis lessons, Group and private but above all, the lessons my kids and I have had with Clayton will serve as family memories forever. I feel at home and pick up right where I left off from my previous visit. Other aspects of the tennis center from the waterfront location, lessons, group activities and pickle ball program are just fantastic. I would highly recommend the resort, the tennis activities and Clayton as well as other activities with the staff.
Tennis center was great for both Tennis and Pickle. Hotel room was nice but old and needs to be refurbished. Restaurants lacked personality except for the bar at DelFinos which was nice.
I highly recommend going to the Hammocks. I have played tennis there in league matches and have taken many lessons. I strongly feel Gene Paul is an exceptional pro who is helping take my tennis to the next level while making it fun. He is always eager to find another player when needed and quick to respond to any requests. The entire staff you will find to be warm and welcoming. The water view from the courts and grounds are well maintained and beautiful. Personally, I cannot think of a single weakness.
We love coming back to the Hammock Beach Resort year after year! The staff and entire property are spectacular. The addition of new outdoor Pickleball courts was the perfect addition to this vacation experience. We will be back!
Tennis Staff is excellent Tennis courts are excellent, surprising shelter from wind Accommodations were good Cleaning staff has room for improvement Restaurant was expensive Very pretty place
I’m a 4.5/5.0 level from Michigan. Was very happy with the private hitting lesson I did with Clayton. Scheduling was easy and I was able to get a good workout.
The tennis pros were wonderful. They were knowledgeable, concise, and helpful. They also were great about following through on requests and communicating. I would highly recommend them to my friends and am thinking about putting together a weekend clinic for my tennis team. I visited this resort from 2/1/24- 2/25/24
I enjoyed working with Clayton and other staff members at the tennis center. The food at the on site Delfino’s restaurant was delicious and beautifully presented. In the area of the resort where I stayed (down the road from the tennis center), the views of the ocean and property were incredible. The location is an easy drive from both Daytona and St. Augustine. Overall, I had a wonderful time and will return if given the opportunity.
Steve Viviano was a great instructor. My son had a fun and informative lesson and was sad we weren’t returning tomorrow for another. Such a great day. Happy kid
Excellent facilities and superb service. Restaurant/bar is only in the main resort building which is not very convenient if you just want to grab a cocktail/a quick bite of a cup coffee and but too lazy to get out of your building! Other than that…everything is great!
We were there with a group and attended a mixed group of men and women across various skill levels – and the tennis staff delivered a fun and enriching clinic that everyone got something from!
Gene Paul did an exceptional job creating a custom clinic for eight of us visiting from Jacksonville FL (Queens Harbour) for the weekend. Gene Paul and Clayton worked with us for 1.5 hours on 2 courts. The clinic was outstanding…very high energy, instructional, and fun! The courts were in great shape and the entire staff was very friendly and professional. We will be back!
They have one of the best tennis facilities and staff I’ve ever experienced. They have everything you want; well maintained facilities, friendly, energetic, and knowledgeable staff, lots of clinic and playing options, and a nice pro shop. They also go above and beyond by providing bottled water on ice, clean towels, and healthy snacks and fruit. They even call to get you a ride back to your room. I thoroughly enjoyed my clinic with Clayton who provided some very helpful tips during fun drills. This is a first class tennis facility and I highly recommend it to any tennis fans.
Gene and his staff were wonderful to work with in our second year to attend a tennis clinic getaway with our club members . He catered the clinics to our needs and was very knowledgeable. Our tennis journey is made so much richer with this yearly getaway ! I would highly recommend this tennis facility !
The tennis program was awesome with excellent drills and coaches. They also had an excellent Round Robin tournament for Wimbledon. The accommodations were very nice and the pools were wonderful with the waterslides. They put put golf was very limited. I did not have enough golf balls, and clubs to keep the line moving. Overall, my family enjoyed the experience and I would be happy to go back.
I participated in 4 straight days of 2 hour sessions. The staff was able to accommodate my wishes and needs and move things around to maximize my opportunity while there. Courts were awesome and staff was more than friendly and professional. My game took a notch up because of their expertise
Loved the tennis drills. Instructors were awesome and helpful!
We visit Hammock Beach every 4th of July. They do an incredible job with holiday festivities to keep all ages engaged. Our favorite tradition. While we are there we always spend a few mornings at the tennis center. Love all the pros on site. We have fun clinics and round robin play. The courts are really well kept. It is a beautiful facility.
My husband and I were visiting for a week and played in tennis clinics, cardio tennis and the annual Wimbledon tournament they host. We ended up participating in more tennis activities than we originally anticipated because the tennis club, instructors, and other participants were very welcoming and fun! We had such a great time and will definitely be playing here several times a year on visits!! Clayton and Gene were the best – fun, helpful, and engaging!! Thanks again for a great time!
Gene Paul and his staff are great at giving feedback during group lessons that pinpoint where each player can improve their game during point play. I love coming back every year just to attend tennis clinics at the resort. They are top notch!!
Tennis and pool area
The tennis instructor, Don is warm and personable. He has great positive energy and provided several training tips and recommendations. My wife and I are definitely convinced that our tennis game has improved. Don was patient and understanding but pushed us to be better. The repetition was fantastic and enabled us to learn many new concepts and tactics for our tennis game. We highly recommend lessons from him.
My husband and I had an exceptional experience playing tennis at the Hammock Beach Resort this year. The tennis clinics with Clayton were excellent and helped us both to fine-tune our games and the club was warm and welcoming. We’re hoping to be back next year and to bring a group of friends with us.
The pros were great. Excellent instruction. Very easy to work with them. Resort is lovely and we enjoyed our time there very much. Great hidden gem.
The tennis staff were all great! I took clinics with Gene, Clayton, and Don and they all did wonderful drills specific to doubles and doubles strategy. I had a private lesson with Clayton and he was amazing. They all gave a lot of instruction (more than other pros I have had) and were very positive with their comments.
My daughter and I really enjoyed the tennis. The pros were exceptional and we can’t wait to come back next year.
I loved Hammock Beach Resort & Spa. The tennis pros were wonderful and the clinics were a lot of fun and were very helpful. I highly recommend and look forward to coming back again next year!
I will certainly return to the tennis courts!!! The courts are in excellent shape. When I called to see if there were any clinics available for guests, Clayton immediately set me up. I participated in 3 cardio clinics…hit hundreds of balls while getting my heart rate up. Also took 3 doubles clinics. I learned more in those clinics than I have over the last several years of clinics with different pros. Gene Paul and Clayton were top notch teaching professionals!!
This review is specifically regarding the tennis section of the resort. We made a last minute request to attend the tennis clinic on Tuesday. Gene was accommodating with a prompt email response and a follow up phone call. While it was too late to make the clinic, he was able to arrange something that worked. We were provided transportation to and from the resort. We had a variety of drivers who were equally delightful. Don was our tennis coach. He was wonderful, such that we scheduled another session on the following day. We had a great time and learned a lot. I’ve never had a tennis lesson, and thus had no knowledge of the sport. Don was informative, patient, supportive, and fun! He was able to balance three different levels of experience and provide a challenge for us all. There is more I could say, but for the sake of brevity I’ll end with this: If I lived here, I would definitely hire him as my private coach! Thanks for a great experience, Don!
The tennis program at Hammock Beach Resort was beyond amazing—I was able to spend the entire morning doing drills, clinics, private lessons and fun play! The court facilities and staff were beyond fantastic. I look forward to returning next year.
I took a Beginner Tennis lesson with Steve today, and he was exceptional. Love his patience and ability to explain proper techniques, which will serve me well as I return home & put into practice all that he taught me. He was thorough & genuinely as excited as I was when I did well! Wish more Beginner sessions were available during my stay. Thank you for your expertise, enthusiasm, & patience, Steve!
My lesson was with Don. He was great!
The tennis was phenomenal! We loved everything! The only thing we did not like was the fact that the gym was unwilling to work with us with our teen needing to do exercises after ACL reconstruction and for sports conditioning. The age should be 13 or 14 like other gyms and left to the parents discretion. That was our only disappointment of the trip and may have others choosing a resort elsewhere. Otherwise the trip was phenomenal. The gym policy needs updating. The restaurants, tennis, resort itself exceptional.
Clayton and his team were great. Awesome coaches, very welcoming and easy to work with. I highly recommend this tennis center.
The One Live tennis tournament is my favorite by far. Very well run and organized and I loved the format. Staying at the yacht harbor club was perfect as it had close proximity and we could go back and forth between matches. We did run out of toilet paper with six in our condo and had to steal from the tennis facility (sorry!)
Gene Paul is so welcoming his energy is lively and infectious. You leave the club feeling renewed and self satisfied looking forward to your next visit.
A group of girls and I received a group tennis lesson from Gene Paul and it was Amazing! I highly recommend!
The Hammock Beach Resort is awesome. Great location! The tennis courts are at the Marina so a bit of a drive (we did not try the offered shuttle). I called the tennis club a couple weeks before we were going to be there and set up clinics and lessons for myself, sister, brother in law and 2 14 year old nieces. I am just starting to play again after several injuries. The instructors were all great and very accommodating and flexible. The courts are terrific. We enjoyed the various clinics (Shot of the day and doubles) and would highly recommend the tennis and the resort!
I’ve stayed at Hammock Beach several times, but first time taking advantage of the tennis facility. I was able to join several clinics and book private hitting time for several days during my visit. Clayton was super friendly, guest oriented and on top of his tennis instruction. Gene, the director, was super to talk to as well. The courts are in great shape and appeared to have good volume of member players utilizing the facility as well. In sum, it’s a great place to play with a super friendly team of tennis pros. I would highly recommend to book some time to play on your next visit.
Highly recommend a private lesson with Clayton Hamilton.
Gene Paul and all the pros at Hammock Beach are wonderful. So fun, high energy and great instructors! They work well with players of all abilities and really try to get to know you! It’s a very inclusive atmosphere there!
Excellent pro staff available for lessons. Teaching approach and results superior to any pro I have used in years.
Highly recommend
All good. No weakness at all.
Most outstanding Tennis facility with a professional and highly talented staff!
The tennis pros are amazing! I have had lots of lesson and learned more about doubles tennis from Don than any other pro. They make a real effort to accommodate everyone.
My husband and I are 3.5 players and attended the daily clinic. We weren’t sure how it would go because it was cold and very windy. However…..that didn’t matter one bit because the pro’s made it an unforgettable experience. The games were fast moving, high energy, same level play and one hour felt like 2 hours of tennis! The most fun I’ve had in a long time in a tennis clinic. The pro’s want to be there and want you to have a good time. They love their job and it shows!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!!
The tennis facility and instruction is exceptional! I am an adult player and my son is a high school player. We both got a great deal of instruction and play in while we were there for the week on a family vacation. There are ample opportunities to participate in group instruction, cardio tennis etc. In addition, we scheduled private lessons with Jean Paul, Director of Tennis. Side note, my son broke a string mid-week and the instructors were able to re-string it so we could be back on the courts for our scheduled clinic the next morning. You can’t be that turnaround and attention! Tip for anyone coming to visit (we visited in Spring 2021)- review the clinics and sign up in advance so you have a spot. With COVID protocol the clinics cannot be over-crowded. Only weakness is that we did not stay longer to play more tennis.
If you visit. Hammock Beach Resort you need to book some time at the tennis facility. The staff is fantastic. They will improve your game as well as your trip. Visited 2021
The tennis center’s director, Gene Paul; and head pro, Courtney, went above and beyond our expectations. They provided excellent instructions, high energy, and were the most professional tennis organizers we’ve ever experienced. My husband and I visited many tennis resorts throughout Florida, and this one was BY FAR the best we experienced in every aspect. Courts were well maintained, Gene Paul and Courtney were always on time, and above all they were both A LOT OF FUN! No weaknesses to mention.
Excellent tennis staff !!! Very enjoyable and usefull. Would def come back.
Outside of the gorgeous views, the tennis team is well versed in every aspect of the game. Gene Paul and his Head Pro Courtney Smith were full of energy, and extremely personable. Look forward to coming back and having more lessons soon!
Great first time visit. Had 6 ladies for an overnight and had a 2 hour clinic for tennis. By far a great time! High energy and great pros. The pros have amazing personalities and were able to read our needs on the courts. Cant wait to go back. Thanks
Gene Paul runs a terrific tennis facility and instructional program. The tennis tournament was top-notch as well! We can’t wait for next year’s OneLove tournament!!!
I give Hammock Beach the highest possible ratings in all the categories that were applicable to my experience.
I participated in the One Love Tennis tournament which was amazing. Great tennis and great hospitality by all the staff.
What a fabulous experience! Special thanks to Gene Paul, Kate and Don for everything they taught me. The tennis environment is #1!
Perfect resort for active sports like beach biking, tennis, hiking, swimming–but the lazy river, water slide, and multiple pools with exotic drink service can’t be topped for relaxing…
I was there for the One Love Tennis Tournament. It was my first time visiting Palm Coast and the Hammock Resort. The Hammock Resort in my opinion is a hidden treasury . The grounds and the facility are well kept. The pools are so very nice. I just love the place and had a wonderful get away. And looking forward of going again.
Very family friendly. Has everything in one spot. Beach is a bit rocky at low tide.
I took lessons with Kate. She was awesome! Had a great experience!
Great pros who do different kinds of clinics and will happily put a game together for you. Courts are in great shape too. Opportunity -evening programming
I really enjoyed this resort facility. The condition of the clay courts were excellent and the staff was very responsive in getting me set up with “hits” with the pros. Both pros that I hit with were very friendly and gave me some useful tips to improve my game. I will definitely go back to this facility when I’m back in the area on vacation.
Accompanied my spouse to a conference at Hammock Beach in early April – needed to get back into the game after a winter layoff and house renovation. This tennis facility was outstanding for exactly that. Kate had me tuning up ground strokes within minutes during a clinic and Gene Paul also ran a great hour for the half dozen players there. I really looked forward to the mornings so I could connect with these excellent tennis teachers again. Kate is very observant and provided dead-on corrections. Look forward to the opportunity to return so I can work with them both.
My family and I determine our vacations based on a resort’s tennis facility and Hammock Beach Resort did not disappoint. Gene and his staff were extremely friendly and courteous. The courts are in immaculate shape and has a wonderful setting. We have been to many tennis facilities around North America and without a doubt Hammock Beach provided the best experience for my family and I. I would highly recommend the resort to any level of tennis player!
If you are looking for top of the line clay courts with staff that are courteous, accommodating and professional you will have found the right place at Hammock. You can jump into a clinic, rent the ball machine, find a partner for singles or doubles or just go out an play on their beautiful canal side courts. We never have a bad game at their beautiful facility. We love the staff and can’t wait to go back.
Best tennis clinics and so personable. We have gone for a three day girls weekend every year for he last 6 years. John Paul knows all our names and styles- strength and weaknesses! It is the best tennis weekend with a great resort
We just had our annual ladies tennis trip to Hammock Beach. The instruction is incredible!! Gene Paul & Don kept us moving and provided great instruction and feedback over our 3 days. The courts are always available for extra play anytime during our stay and the facilities have a beautiful view and well kept. The resort has nice facilities but it is definitely the tennis staff that keeps us returning every year!
Jean Paul and his staff are amazing . They make the clinics fun and meaningful. They are energetic and it is obvious they love their job and that is infectious . LOVE the tennis program
If quality tennis instruction with an energetic and knowledgeable staff is your goal, Hammock Beach is a great option. My husband and I both received instruction appropriate for our age and ability. We were always treated with friendliness and always welcomed by name each year we visited. On many occasions, we planned our trips to Hammock Beach right before a tournament was scheduled and Jean Paul and staff delivered just the tuneup we needed.
Hammock Beach Resort has a great facility and an inviting staff. We have vacationed in Palm Coast as a family for 20 years and Yacht Harbor, in significant part due to its proximity to the tennis facility, is our favorite location. Although we have only been there for a week each year, Gene Paul still greets us with a smile and a “Hey Michigan’s back!” My son’s (both college level players) have great memories of GP and “Kate” for clay court hits.
What a wonderful tennis resort. I have been there many times and have had many lessons with their pro, gene Paul. I have always gone with ladies on my tennis team and we have all gone away with some tactics for our tennis matches. We are all from Jacksonville and feel it is well worth the travel time to palm coast. My team even went there right before our trip to compete in nationals. Gene Paul and his staff worked with us to prepare us for our national competition! I highly recommend this resort.
The Hammock Beach Tennis facility is the premiere facility in the Palm Coast area. The pro, Gene Paul, is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Many Jacksonville teams come to the Hammock, because we find the clinics and individual lessons are extremely beneficial and enjoyable. I highly recommend this facility to anyone living near or visiting the Palm Coast area.
Hammock Beach Resort tennis is great! I’ve been coming here with my family for 8 years. Gene Paul and his team do an outstanding job creating great programs and fostering an atmosphere that is FUN and engaging. My kids have enjoyed the clinics at the resort and I’ve really appreciated how they go out of their way to find me a good match or hitting partner when I stay there. Highly recommended!!!
Spent a weekend there with a bunch of tennis girlfriends and we had a great experience. The pros were fun AND we learned new skills. I would highly recommend!
Our tennis team has visited for several years now and I always have the best experience! Gene Paul and his staff are always accommodating, fun, and have exceptional instruction. They truly make you feel welcome and work hard to make our sure our team has the best time. This is why I keep coming back. Looking forward to the next time!
I was lucky enough to learn to play tennis at this resort. They were amazing and patient in teaching me to play the game from the ground up. Now I am a USTA league captain and have brought members of my team to the Hammock Beach Resort to work on doubles strategy. They take the time to explain and teach court positioning and set up drills that reinforce the importance of those positions.
I went to the resort specifically to receive tennis instruction from Gene Paul Lascano. Members from our club in Jacksonville have been doing so for years but 2017 was my first introduction to HB. I found the facilities beautiful and extremely well maintained. As a doubles player, I liked how the pro focused on court movement and shot selection. If, as a team, you understand these principles, players can be interchangeable and are not encumbered by “partnerships”. By my second visit, Gene Paul knew my name (as well as remembered many of my individual strengths and weaknesses). When our team qualified for nationals, we took a few trips to HB for last minute pointers. His instruction proved to be invaluable as we took 2nd place at Nationals. I look forward to my next visit to Hammock Beach (which is scheduled for April 20).
First, Hammock Beach has it all: you never have to leave the premises while vacationing there. You can go from spa day, to pool, to beach, to playing golf, to your choice of high quality food at on-site restaurants, not to mention taking in a tennis lesson or two (which has always been the number one reason for going). Although I am a member at another club, the tennis professionals there are highly recommended. They make the experience fun, not to mention, they will remember your name for years to come when you visit. My friends and I have been going there for the last 5 years for a ladies tennis weekend and I am sure will be going for another 5 if we have our way. We love the tennis experience at HB!
Great place for a Ladies Tennis Trip! Great instruction, lots of fun interaction and lots of fun downtime activities too!! Courts are well-maintained. Lodging is very comfortable and reasonable. I’ve been several times and can’t wait to return!
I stayed at Hammock Beach Resort on a tennis weekend getaway. Gene Paul was wonderful to work with and very accommodating when setting up private clinics times and court space for team play. He and Kate made the high energy tennis clinics such fun but full of tips and strategies. We’ve done two tennis trips down there annually and the weather was always wonderful. The food and restaurants didn’t disappoint at the Resort however we did run into some issues with the accommodations. We’ve always stayed in the three bedroom condos and one time we weren’t able to access our rooms until 2 hours after check in. Another room stayed it would have a king, a queen and two twins when in fact it held 2 queens and 2 twins. In another situation, the window treatment fell down and almost hit one of our gals. All in all, I think the condos need a little TLC but the resort itself was wonderful. Tennis especially fabulous!
My team and I had an incredible time at a weekend of clinics with Gene Paul and Kate. They know tennis and know how to get their point across with professionalism and humor. They customized the clinics to meet our team goals and our various abilities. No standing around – EVER- and we all took away some new skills! One day when we were there – we wanted to just play and were 1 girls short. Gene Paul found us a local member to round out our numbers and we all had a great time! Cannot wait to go back!
I thoroughly enjoyed a private clinic I attended a couple of months ago- the techniques were educational and the games were a lot of fun.. I look forward to another experience in the future!
We love the tennis at hammock beach!!!!
A group of us tennis ladies have gone to Hammock Beach Resort annually for over 5 years. We love the tennis pros and the packages they provide us! So much fun and we get lots of training. Highly recommend!!
Excellent tennis getaway w/ tennis friends and teammates. Highly recommend and Gene Paul is a fantastic tennis pro and teacher. Cannot wait to return and go back again.
What a fun weekend. We had a great time at our clinics. Gene Paul and Kate were so much fun and very knowledgeable. Can’t wait to return!
Great instruction along with great fun. My group had three pros and each one brought humor along with great instruction. We attended a camp for doubles play and they not only taught strategy but a little of game psychology as well.
Our ladies tennis team from Jacksonville travels down to Hammock Beach a few times per year and not only is it an awesome team building event we learn something new each time. They are professional and cater to our deverse level of players. The facility is clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend Hammock Beach Tennis Center
My wife and I just spent a week at the Hammock beach Resort in Palm Coast, Florida. Fabulous resort and not overcrowded likemany four-star resorts. The tennis facility there is fairly new but have first class teaching pro’s (Harry Gilbert and Gene Paul Lascano). I have been to many tennis resorts and camps and this one is outstanding. My wife did the clinics and I took private lessons and played in the round robins. The locals that play were all in the 3.5-4.5 level, making for some sprirted games.
