There is a certain breed of tennis player who cannot be stopped by the weather, and the debate over winter tennis in Florida vs. summer tennis in New England resorts is one they live rather than argue.
From the prominent Coachella Valley to the breezy coastlines of San Diego and Santa Barbara, this guide covers seven standout properties that have made California one of the most celebrated tennis destinations in the world.
Kiawah Island Golf Resort has been serving unforgettable match moments from the time its first guests stepped onto the tennis courts in 1976. Fifty years later, that legacy continues to rally. In late 2025, the acclaimed Roy Barth Tennis Center added two new padel courts to its award-winning lineup.

On one of my visits to Palmetto Dunes, I opted for a bicycle to get around the resort using its extensive web of dedicated bike paths, an option popular with many of its guests (though there’s also a free on-call Dunes Buggy shuttle). My own route to the tennis courts took me through quiet tree-filled neighborhood of houses, villas, golf fairways, and lagoons. Not until I’d ridden beyond a guard gate did I come upon anything resembling commercial enterprises, though even those consisted of little more than an unobtrusive General Store; a bike, canoe, and kayak rental shop; a restaurant; the tennis center; a golf clubhouse; and the entrance road to the Marriott, one of two hotels (the other an Omni) tucked into this 2,000-acre resort. Only by then following the bike path north though a canopy of trees and then under William Hilton Parkway (Rte. 278) would I eventually leave behind the resort’s leafy neighborhoods for the collection of shops, indoor and outdoor restaurants, and art galleries (and some marina-view villas) in the Mediterranean-inspired buildings that line Shelter Cove Harbour.
There are really two faces to Palmetto Dunes. The largest section, which extends from the beach to the parkway, contains most of the lodging as well as the tennis, three designer golf courses, and most of the other recreational amenities other than those associated with the marina. And if you don’t opt to stay in a beachfront villa—which I did not on this latest trip—a bike is also a useful vehicle not only to reach the beach but to ride along it, since at low tide the extremely broad, hard-packed beach is an ideal natural bike path. You can, if you choose, ride on the beach for virtually the entire length of the island (rental bikes have fat tires suited to the hard sand). Beyond that, once you leave the resort there are some 50 miles of paved public bike paths that lace the island itself.
The Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center caters to a mixture of groups and vacationers. It consists of a main complex of 19 clay courts, four of them lighted for night play, along with 24 pickleball courts. Those are supplemented by an additional eight clay courts a five-minute walk away. A spacious, 3,000-square-foot clapboard clubhouse with a dark-green shingled roof anchors the main tennis complex. Inside is a brightly-lit pro shop as well as showers for men and women and offices for the professional staff. The reception is extremely friendly—these aren’t kids behind the desk but adults. All of them play tennis—many in fact are on teams—so they really do understand tennis players and their needs. Extending out from one side of the clubhouse is a long, raised wooden deck with a roof and views of courts to the right and left. The courts have been laid out in pairs, with California (angled) corners and a perimeter of trees and low shrubs. Some have small, shingle-roofed courtside pavilions and chilled water fountains.
Tennis Staff: John Kerr, a former professional player, oversees the entire tennis and pickleball operation. A fixture on the island since 1986 and at Palmetto Dunes since 1990, he has revolutionized the on-court programming, first by restructuring the roster of tennis teaching programs and later by being one of the first resort directors to undertake a full-scale commitment to pickleball. For tennis, the signature program is “S.M.A.R.T. Stroke-Next Gen”, a daily clinic that utilizes on-court, super slo-mo videotaping to provide instant feedback that helps maximize practice. His Director of Tennis Instruction, Eric Wammock, is a expert in video analysis and specialist in utilizing on-court video. An All-American at Florida State College and later All-Conference at Virginia Commonwealth University, Wammock went on to play professional tennis before settling on Hilton Head Island. He heads leads the club’s top tennis programs along with a a staff of personable pros—all with college or professional experience.
Tennis Programs: Much of the tennis programming—which runs the gamut of S.M.A.R.T. clinics to competitive-edge drills, doubles clinics, Cardio tennis, and clinics focused on serves and returns—runs back-to-back so that as a guest you can carpenter together a program day by day that could be as short as one hour or as long as 4½. Moreover, the junior programs coincide with the adult programs, so families can more easily come and go together.
Pickleball Programs: With 24 lighted pickleball courts, Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center ranks as one of the premier pickleball resorts in the country. There are group clinics for beginners and intermediates, pro-supervised ladder round robins that are at once social and competitive, drill sessions, and group and private lessons. Pickleball Touring Pro Sarah Ansboury heads up the instruction, staging pickleball academies several times a year and three-day adult pickleball camps during spring and fall. And as a further testament to its pickleball credentials, it is the site for one of the eight major tournaments for the World Pickleball Rankings.
Whichever sport interests you, stop by the pro shop, as I did, and you’ll find an experienced staff who are at once friendly and very service conscious. All in all, the center offers an excellent series of both tennis and pickleball programs.
Court Complex: The Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center has a total of 19 clay tennis courts and 24 pickleball courts altogether in two locations: the Tennis Center proper another bank a short walk away. Those at the Center fan out from a contemporary, 3,000-square-foot clubhouse. Palms, maples, pines and live oaks border the courts as do oleander and other low shrubbery. All of the courts have chilled water fountains though not all have shade. Four tennis courts and all the pickleball courts have lights on a token system so people can play when they want just by showing up.
Tennis Court fees: Guests renting through Palmetto Dunes receive two complimentary hours/day (based on availability) and pay $35/hour mornings and $30/hour afternoons for additional court use beyond that. For non-resort guests, the fee is $40/hour.
Pickleball Court fees: $25 from opening to noon; $20 from noon to closing; walk-ons, noon-4 p.m., $15; lighted courts, $20
Off Court
Beach: Palmetto Dunes fronts three miles of beach. It tends to be most crowded near the center, where the two hotels are located, but you don’t have to walk far to the east or west to have large expanses of sand all to yourself. And the farther you get from those hotels, the less obtrusive the architecture
Golf Courses: Palmetto Dunes itself has three designer golf courses, each named for its designer: Arthur Hills, George Fazio, and Robert Trent Jones. All three layouts have been named South Carolina’s “Golf Course of the Year.” There is also a golf school and new Toptracer Range at the Robert Trent Jones Course.
Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course: Designed by Robert Trent Jones and renovated by his protege Roger Rulewich, this par-72 course begins near the tennis center and flows east meandering around the system of lagoons before jogging down to the ocean at the par-5 10th hole and then working its way back westward. 6,122-7,005 yards.
George Fazio Golf Course: The most challenging of the three layouts, if not the most challenging course on Hilton Head Island, this Fazio course demands both accuracy and length. Bunkers and water hazards riddle several of its long par 4s. Par 70, 6,239-6,873 yards.
Arthur Hills: This par-72 course can be played as short as 4,999 yards or as long as 6,651, but whichever tees are chosen, the Lowcountry course stands out for its topographic beauty, ocean breezes, and off-balance lies.
Spa & Fitness Center: The resort itself does not have a spa or fitness center; however, both of the hotels do.
Palmetto Dunes 11 miles of lagoons afford opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, while the Shelter Cove Marina adds additional kayaking options as well as sailing cruises, fishing and boating charters, and dolphin tours.
Children's programs: There is much to appeal to kids at Palmetto Dunes—not only the beach, tennis, pickleball, golf, and lagoons but also Harbour Fest, held every Tuesday June into August at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina and consisting of live entertainment in the form of popular troubadour Shannon Tanner, street vendors, and fireworks (especially impressive over the harbour).
Restaurants: Dining can be as simple as sandwiches, salads, and drinks at the casual beachfront Dunes House to Continental cuisine at the lagoonside Alexander’s Restaurant or any of more than half a dozen places to eat at Shelter Cove Harbour, ranging from Frosty’s Italian ices to Mexican fare at San Miguel’s, seafood at Scott’s Fish Market, French bistro menu at Bistro 17, among others.
Accommodations
Palmetto Dunes has 1-to-4-bedroom villas, all with kitchens, and homes as large as eight bedrooms. These occupy various locations throughout the resort, including oceanfront, golf course, and the harbour. As a guest of Palmetto Dunes, you receive two hours of free tennis or pickleball court time daily per unit (based on availability). There is a three-night minimum at selected times of the year. Additional exclusive resort discounts available when renting through Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort.

Always an amazing experience with unmatched instruction and a great time. Puts joy in the game.

There’s not a better pro for instruction and hitting than Eric @ Palmetto Dunes and I’ve been taking lessons all over the country over the last 15 years.
FR
Liked the location and also very pleased with the tennis lessons like competitive doubles clinics.
Would like to visit again in the future
DE
Everything and everyone was great!
JC
I love Palmetto Dunes and the Pickleball is awesome.
The only comment that I have that hopefully will be taken as constructive is about the timing. There should be a little flexibility with the time. There should be a little bit of a warm up period. Time is taken to give the talk etc from our actual play. But when that clock strikes 11:28 we are quick to wrap it up. A few minutes on either side would be appreciated
Everyone is very nice. It would be helpful if the coaches could help folks that think they are 3.6-3.9 realize they are 2.5-3.0
I know it’s for fun but having more equality of play is even more enjoyable
AP
Wonderful facility. Well organized round robin program. Friendly and professional staff. Excellent experience.
KF
We’ve been playing pickle at PD since 2020. We play round robin every day. Nancy, Rick, Reggie, et al are all outstanding. So much fun. All positives, nothing negative.
SF
Great string job and price on a new Head Gravity Team 600 tennis racquet. Always enjoy the clinics with Eric too…he’s amazing and makes it fun with his energy.
MF
I just got back from a ladies tennis retreat at Palmetto Dunes, and it was such a great experience.
Patrick Walker was definitely the highlight—he makes you feel comfortable right away, no matter your level, and shares simple, practical tips that really click. He gave each of us individual attention and kept things fun, with plenty of laughs mixed into the drills.
Even though we had some rain, it didn’t take away from the trip at all. The group was fantastic, the setting is beautiful, and the whole vibe was relaxed and supportive. We had such a wonderful time that we’re already planning for next year’s visit. Highly recommend!
DA
Nancy was great! Great tips and great experience overall. We did play with a pro. I highly recommend.
BG
Palmetto Dunes pickleball round robins are run so well. It’s a well oiled machine. There’s no time wasted during the hour and a half session. Great, overall experience. We play multiple times whenever we’re there. The competition typically gets sorted out pretty quickly to ensure good quality games.
MI
Eric is outstanding.
AM
I live on the island and enjoy playing the round robins. You get a variety of skill levels that challenges anyone. The Pro’s are all very helpful and make my experience that much better!! I like the barriers that help contain the balls so we aren’t chasing them down and they don’t interrupt other games.
Would like to see some seating outside the courts if possible. The location of the general store helps for water and the occasional soft serve ice cream!!
JM
My wife and I were in town for the RBC Golf Tournament. We booked a pickleball lesson for Tuesday. We enjoyed the experience so much we booked and attended one on Thursday as well. Learned several new techniques will will take with us back to Pittsburgh. Hope to do it again on our next trip.
DM
This has been our third year to stay in Palmetto Dunes for pickleball. The staff and instructors are fabulous….. very professional, friendly, talented, and just fun! The courts are gorgeous and the morning round robin is flawless. We don’t play tennis but the courts are always full. They run a top notch establishment for both sports. We always come back.
RH
The staff is tremendously helpful and the facilities are really first-rate. We had no issues at all reserving court time despite it being the busy spring break/Easter season. Really an enjoyable time.

ZC
We love playing in the round robins when we are at HHI for vacation!
HV
We had a fantastic experience at Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. The clinics are extremely well run, and a big part of that is thanks to Patrick Walker head tennis pro and Eric, the tennis director.
Patrick is truly one of a kind—his energy and personality make every session both fun and challenging. He has a unique ability to work with players of all skill levels at the same time, even on the same court, without anyone feeling left out. That’s not easy to do, and he makes it look effortless.
Eric has clearly built a great program and culture there. Both he and Patrick are engaging, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping players improve.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their game while actually enjoying the process.
RS
We were greeted in a friendly way by the clubhouse workers. Those in charge of organizing open play were knowledgeable , encouraging and very friendly. The courts were immaculate.

The pros are awesome.
TS
My husband and I have made several trips to HHI since we started playing pickleball, and always stay in Palmetto Dunes because of the high-quality pickleball experience. We’ve played in the morning Round Robins, which are a lot of fun, yet competitive. We’ve also rented a court for our family to use in the evening, creating special memories.
The courts are extremely well-maintained and the pro shop has many great clothing and equipment options.
BB
As a USTA tennis competitor, I have been attending Palmetto Dunes Tennis Camp for over 30 years. It has continuously been one of the best tennis experiences I have had. The alacarte clinic schedule provides an expansive, flexible selection of tennis pros, skill levels, strokes and strategies. The scheduling system is easily accessible. Tennis can begin early continuing into the late afternoon, culminating with open round robins. Palmetto dunes is definitely an excellent place for the tennis enthusiast/athlete that believes in lifelong learning and game improvement. I’ll be returning again this year!
LR
We love the round robins. The best practice you can get!
Also got to take part in a free lesson because they needed a body.
Great expeirience and will take a lesson next time.
RM
For the past 3 years we have planned our vacations around playing at Palmetto Dunes. Beautiful facility, really amazing and helpful staff. The round robins are a ton of fun and we have made lasting friendships playing in them. My husband took private pickleball lessons and learned quite a bit.
ML
Always have a great time at daily Round Robin play. Wonderful organization of play, helpful monitors/instructors and super social opportunities. I’ve also taken private lessons and the pros are super. Rick is one of the best to have made a difference in my game.

We had a fantastic experience at Palmetto Dunes Tennis and Pickleball Resort. We played pickleball consistently during our month long stay. The reservation system is simple and easy to use, which makes planning a breeze. The staff truly stand out. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and incredibly accommodating. They even added an early Round Robin session to accommodate spring breakers! The atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s a great place to meet new people. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, social, competitive if you want that, and well-run tennis and pickleball facility!
MM
Our flight was delayed and we only had an hour to kill so the staff was amazing about letting us rent a court and equipment for an hour without advance notice. We had a great time. Beautiful facility!
