Golf Course: A 9-hole executive course of par 3s and par 4s runs west through the narrow valley then doubles back on itself and returned east.
Spa & Fitness Center: Meadowood spa sits against the hillside and focuses on tranquility. Rather than therapy rooms, it has eight spa suites, where you can relax and the therapist comes to you, planning individual treatments that use ingredients indigenous to the area, like black walnut and bay laurel. There’s also an al fresco relation garden and the option to having spa meals delivered there or to your individual suite. The fitness center, rebranded the Strength & Spirit Studio following a complete renovation, occupies a two-story clapboard building between the tennis courts and Club Pool. It offers a variety of classes and workouts—yoga, cardio weight training, cycle/sculpt as well as the newest addition of Board 30 classes utilizing resistance bands—available on a complimentary basis to guests. Its second floor houses a room full of all types of cardio equipment—including Peloton bikes, TRX equipment, a line of Precor workout stations, and a variety of Cardio workout equipment in a room with windows on three sides and a mirrored wall. There are doors onto an outside deck with more lounge chairs and views of woods and the lower tennis courts. Personal training can be arranged as well.
Each of the men’s and women’s locker rooms has sauna, steam, robes, slippers, and lockers. There’s also an outdoor whirlpool.
Croquet: This is not your backyard—or Alice In Wonderland—variety of croquet but the international competitive version, played in all white attire, that elevates bashing balls around a green to a sport requiring the strategy of chess.
Beyond that there are two additional swimming pools with spas—the adults-only Hotel Pool with cabanas and the Family Pool, which has creekside dining, a snack bar, and children’s play area. In addition, bicycles are available at the spa, which provides maps of suggested trails, and there are 1.6 miles of marked hiking trails out along the golf course and up to the ridge overlooking the Napa Valley.
Restaurants: Dining well has long been a Meadowood priority. The menu changes regularly to reflect the best market and garden ingredients of the day, some of which are grown right on the property.

With my wife and I being retired in the past two years, we are trying to visit two or three of Tennis Resorts Online Top 100 a year. Just finished a three day camp/clinic at Meadowood (and going to Carmel Valley Tennis Ranch in September). The pros at Meadowood are exceptionally well-versed in and prepared to impart tennis instruction, lore, anecdotes – just about anything having to do with tennis.
Doug, Bob and Russell made our three days pass all too quickly. There were eight players (3.5/4.5) which made for a great player/pro ratio. The program is called Acceleration Tennis and is somewhat different from other instructional techniques I have encountered. A highlight of the camp was the Wednesday dinner and videotape review session. Comments from the audience were … interesting, from Doug helpful.
The courts (seven hardcourt) were used from morning to night by club members who could have been part of arranged matches with the campers if only Wimbledon replays and sore muscles had not intervened. I would not recommend the camp for beginners, but anyone intermediate and above will enjoy the three days tremendously.
