    The tennis facility at the Ritz-Carlton is very impressive. The courts are well-maintained, and the overall setting is both beautiful and professional. It’s a great place to enjoy the game, whether you’re just starting out or have been playing for years.

    One of the biggest strengths of the facility is the coaching. The staff is experienced and approachable, and they offer a solid range of clinics and lessons for all levels and age groups. The clinics are well-organized and offer a good mix of instruction and fun.

    I have been playing in the Ritz tennis clinics for the last 10 years. Max and the rest of the pros are fantastic and facility is top notch.

    I have been going to the tennis center at the Ritz Carlton key Biscayne for close to 20 years and it never disappoints . I have experienced group clinics, private lessons, league play and ladies retreats and all of them have been exceptional. The current leaders of the facility Max and Matic always provide excellent service and wonderful teaching. The front desk is always helpful and efficient. Overall it is a wonderful facility with an amazing staff !!

    Matt and Carlos were a great team. Instuction was fabulous. This is the fourth year doing it in the first time we had the same pros all three days that made a big difference and was wonderful.

  • SB

    We had an excellent experience with both Matt and Carlos. This is our fourth year doing tennis camp at the Ritz and we all thoroughly enjoy it. Our instructors are fun instructive and keep the play moving.

  • PA

    Excellent three days with Matt and Carlos! They did a wonderful job of engaging everyone in our group and giving individual as well as group instruction tailored to our skill level. We look forward to this clinic every year as a great way to prepare for the summer tennis season!!

  • SM

    I’m visiting from out of town and did a drop in clinic. It was well organized and fun. The pros had great energy! The site itself is very nice and well kept.

  • PS

    Another fabulous experience! This is the fourth year our group has attended a three-day tennis camp at this beautiful facility focusing on doubles. Our pros, Matt and Carlos, did a great job keeping it both fun and educational. I cannot recommend it enough.

    I have been doing a retreat to Key Biscane for several years now and I can’t imagine it without playing at the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center anymore (always tennis, never tried pickleball or padel). For me personally, this is one of the best tennis centers I’ve had opportunity to to play at. Every time I am impressed by the level of prefessionalism that Max and Matt have managed to maintain consistently over the years there. Also, thanks to Matt my level has improved significantly over the years. Not only that he’s a great pro, he’s genuinly positive person too. In general the facilities are service are great too, really nothing to complain about.

  • NM

    The staff is top notch. This facility is so well run and the programs are amazing and bountiful. My home away from home.

    The Ritz tennis program is the best tennis experience in Miami. The hotel is beautiful and there is nothing better than getting a fun workout to start your day while you’re on vacation. Max, Matits, Emile and Antwan are amazing coaches that make sure you not only get great instruction and drilling, but more importantly they make sure you have a great time. I highly recommend staying at this hotel if you want to enjoy, tennis, pickleball, and/or paddle while on vacation.

  • FC

    Beautiful experience! Would recommend. The hotel and the pros were great.

  • NA

    This is one of the most beautiful and lively clubs in the Miami area. The staff are great and there are coaches for all levels. I have been playing there for years and cannot speak highly enough about the facility and the staff and the overall experience.

  • EL

    Title: An Unforgettable Tennis Experience

    The clinics are a blast – engaging, challenging, and most importantly, fun! The combination of the state-of-the-art facilities, the refreshing sea breeze, and the meticulously maintained courts made each game and lesson not just a learning experience but a truly enjoyable time. The ambience created by the proximity to the beach enhances the overall vibe, making it feel like a vacation where you get to improve your tennis skills.

    However, the heart and soul of the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center are, without a doubt, their professional coaches. They are genuinely passionate about tennis and exhibit an unparalleled dedication to their craft. Each coach brings a unique blend of expertise, patience, and encouragement to their sessions, catering to a wide array of abilities and ensuring that every participant, regardless of their level, feels both challenged and supported.

    What truly sets these coaches apart is their willingness to go above and beyond for their clients. They are not just instructors; they are mentors who take a keen interest in the personal growth of each player. Their approach is not one-size-fits-all; instead, they tailor their coaching to suit the individual needs and goals of each participant, providing personalized feedback that is both constructive and inspiring.

    It’s evident that the team at Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center cares deeply about creating an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere where everyone – from beginners to more seasoned players – feels at home. The sense of community is palpable, and it’s clear that the center not only aims to cultivate great tennis players but also to foster lasting friendships and a genuine love for the game.

    I can wholeheartedly recommend the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center to anyone looking to enhance their tennis skills in a setting that combines professional coaching excellence with the unparalleled beauty of a beachside location. My time here is truly unforgettable, and money well spent Whether you’re a local looking for regular clinics or a visitor seeking a unique vacation experience, this center is sure to exceed your expectations.

    I had a great experience the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center! The clinics are so much fun and all coaches highly motivated. Courts and the atmosphere are great. Everybody feels welcomed. I can highly recommend the center and will surely be back!!!

  • MM

    Incredible energy and level of tennis. Coaches friendly and kept the classes entertaining

    I cannot say enough good things about the tennis retreat experience at Cliff Drysdale Key Biscayne!! My girlfriends and I have participated in one of the October women’s retreats for 4 years running! It is a five-day retreat-so a long time to be away from our families and work-but SO WORTH IT! We keep coming back first and foremost because the tennis instruction is nothing short of excellent. I have done literally hundreds of clinics at many different places in NY and beyond and I can honestly say that Max, Matik, Lulu and truly all of the coaches are phenomenal teachers, as well as people. I have learned so much from them and have had an amazing time while doing so because it so fun to spend time with such supportive, positive poeple. Beyond the tennis, it goes without saying that the Ritz Key Biscayne is a beautiful hotel with great luxe amenities and a great location close to South Beach etc. (easy to plan fun dinners at amazing restaurants, etc.) and close to the Miami airport. I’ve loved my Cliff Drysdale retreats so much that I planned a 50th bday weekend with my husband and three other couples; the Cliff Drysdale coaches and staff as well as the staff at the Ritz helped me plan a fun-filled weekend with lots of tennis, a yacht cruise and fun bday celebration in Miami-the best! If you are thinking about spending time at the Ritz/Cliff Drysdale, spot thinking and just GO! You won’t be disappointed.

  • TK

    We can say enough positive things about the tennis center at The Ritz on Key Biscayne. The staff, coaches, court conditions, etc. are all amazing there.
    We go every year and will continue our tradition. Special thanks to Max and Matt for all they do making people feel comfortable while on site.

  • DM

  • TI

    I’ve been playing in the clinic here for 5+ years and take private lessons on occasion. The team here is a balanced group of younger and experienced pros all of whom have great court side manner and are always trying to help the players improve. The facilities are well kept although the drainage is challenging and so play can get cancelled when there is even a modest rain and not enough time for the courts to dry. Generally the guests are a good mix of locals and Ritz-Carlton hotel guests and I have made a lot of good friendships from this experience.

  • LJ

    All the Pros are super welcoming & friendly! Always greet everyone with a genuine smile and give great instruction best of all!

  • GS

    Matic Leskovar has worked with me tirelessly and helped maintain and improve my tennis game tremendously. Best tennis coach ever

  • AK

    The tennis program was well-organized without feeling too intense, which suited us perfectly. We both had lessons with Matt who was professional, encouraging and patient. A great place for couples looking to stay active while still relaxing.

  • BD

    Can’t wait to come back! I am a level 4.0 and I had an amazing experience at this tennis resort. The highlight of my trip was working with Matt. His tips instantly improved my game.

  • VF

    I’m a 3.5 level female player and the pros at the clinics in the morning do a great job pairing you with the correct people so you’re always playing at your level. We actually brought friends who now fell in love with the clinics as well awesome place great staff.

  • RF

    My wife and I have been coming here for 17 years and it is by far one of the best tennis programs in the country. The staff is amazing and the morning clinics are the best. We’re actually thinking about moving to Miami so we can play every day.

  • CH

    Best Coaches, great staff and the best ambiance all around. Clinics are amazing!!

  • AS

    Went here on a girls tennis trip and had an amazing time. Matt and Antoinewere fabulous!

  • JM

    I have travelled with my tennis team here for 5 years and we have been absolutely delighted with the tennis experience. The courts are situated among the beautiful palm trees and are close enough to the beach for an occasional ocean breeze. The tennis pros made our team clinics fun and educational. We liked how we could customize our clinics to focus on areas that we wanted to improve. Staying at the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne next door allowed us to walk over to the courts in just a few minutes. It was so convenient! I would highly recommend.

  • BM

    This is my fifth year visiting this resort. My tennis team comes once a year in January or February. There are 14 of us and we all absolutely love everything about this tennis resort. We have been lucky to have Matt as a pro every year He always remembers us and makes the tennis part of the trip enjoyable and memorable. He has the best energy and makes the three hours of tennis each day fly by. We have looked at other resorts but none combine the perfect tennis, resort, vibe that our girls are looking for. Can not recommend enough.
