Dave & Natasha were both excellent tennis instructors. I learned so much from them that I am able to use in my weekly tennis matches.
FE
Great place to visit.
NB
Located on Lake Oconee – a beautiful resort area with tons of amenities. We took advantage of the tennis clinics with pros Dave and Natasha. We learned so much – coincidence or not we won our next ALTA match!
JO
David and Natasha were well prepared for our team. Our team felt welcome from the moment we stepped on the property. We had three days of very productive drills. We look forward to returning next year.
CL
Excellent instruction, often info you’ve ever received before. But very theoretical, with more instruction and a bit less play. Great for the individual game vs doubles or singles strategy. Excellent instructors, positive and optimistic, and unbelievable court side manner! Love the international diversity of the instructors.
NB
Dave and Natasha were great instructors. Liked the lessons and direction they gave us. Wonderful positive corrections on specific drills that made you understand first hand how to correct. Pro shop ladies were the only weakness I saw. Little crabby and not very friendly.
RW
Good instruction & drills
AC
We loved it and would recommend it to friends.
SH
Dave and Natasha accommodated our group with fantastic professionalism. They were both instructional and fun to learn from. I feel confident that everyone in my group (10) learned valuable tips that will benefit our tennis game! We had so much fun, we played for 7 hours straight!
SO
Very good teaching technique on the courts. Able to asses the group and offer specific help in areas needed. Catch phrases helped and playing out points. I liked the teaching, personalities and pace of the clinic. Being able to play on the courts in between clinics was also key.

I’ve been coming to the Ritz-Carlton for quite a while now and every time we come here, it turns into a wonderful experience! The hotel is chique, has the most beautiful rooms and good restaurants and shops and there are many facilities to go to. The best one, in my opinion, is the tennis center. The staff is exceptional! They are all friendly, very skilled with what they do and aren’t just trying to do their jobs, but they also have a personal interest in you. The thing I’ve noticed and which I find very important is that they don’t just try to make your tennis game better or finding some good competition for you to play against, but they try to make tennis fun for everyone. Whatever age category you’re in or type of person you are wanting to play against, they will always try to make the sport more fun while still working on your skills. This is the facility I’ve made most use of, but there are some other facilities like the Lake Club, which has a fitness center, aan indoor and outdoor pool and a lunch cafe, which is lovely to stop by after a good game of tennis. I would recommend going to the Ritz-Carlton to everyone!

Our women’s tennis group had a fantastic time at Reynolds. The staff were very courteous and all our scheduled tennis activities very punctual and the lessons were great. The food was outstanding. Definately want our group to come back again. Only improvement would be to try to get us all in the same condo location.

We’ve have been to many tennis resorts over the last several years and have never encountered a tennis pro as accomplished as Danny Klein.On our way to a National Tournament in Augusta, we spent several days at Reynolds Plantation preparing for the tournament.Danny was not only a great hitting partner but he introduced our son to several drills that had a direct impact on his performance at the tournament.More importantly, he also focused on the mental approach to the game which helped our young junior tremendously. The courts and pro shop staff were equally as impressive. We look forward to a return visit soon.

Travelling with my non tennis playing wife while on vacation in the USA from our home in England I was careful to choose a resort featuring the normally reliable PBI brand. I wasn’t disappointed. The kind and courteous people at the PBI tennis facility at the Reynolds Plantation Ritz-Carlton couldn’t have been more welcoming. Their excellent facilities, including clay and hard courts were more than matched by the quality of the tuition available. Courts and equipment appear to be maintained to the highest standard and there was no sign of the end-of-season ‘fatigue’ that some resort clubs seem to suffer. Dave Neuhart’s team have created a perfect balance between enjoyment and the serious business of improvement. I was fortunate to have some court-time with resident pro’ Evan Gordon whose careful observation and patient guidance helped me to adjust my game to an unfamiliar playing surface. He also provided some much-appreciated help on re-shaping my serve to accomodate recent shoulder surgery. All round, this is an outstanding resort facility that I would recommend without hestitation.
JW
It was a beautiful facility and location. The resort is fabulous on the lake and the courts are great. Especially loved the clay courts and tennis shop. We did the Tom Gulkison camp and it was fantasic with all the young “future” coaches.
WS
I was on business and had a free afternoon. Called the Pro shop and they set me up with a great enthusiastic pro named Evan. He got me using my left hand(non-dominant) for support of the racket and setup of racket face preparing for the shot. Excellent tips. Beautifully prepared clay courts and great setting. I will be back!
MN
Great time playing with Evan. Really nice and knowledgable instructor and a fun hitting partner. Reynolds is truly a gem.
DM
Setting is very nice. Courts are very well kept. An active place. Very nice and accomodating personel. Even with over 30 years of lessons and camps, learned some new techniques that have been extremely helpful and positively affected my game – thank you Evan.
CM
Came to the Ritz for a golf getaway with friends, but was pleasantly surprised by the tennis here. The courts were immaculate and I took a great lesson with a young pro named Evan. Looking forward to returning to the Ritz for another golf and TENNIS vacation!
DB
Tennis was excellent. The clay courts were maintained beautifully. The tennis instruction was customed to what we wanted so was more impactful. I was most impressed with the people: the tennis pros and the people in the tennis shop. All together very enjoyable!
PH
My tennis team had a great time and plan to return in the near future!
HO
Great techniques and applicable strategies and skill needed to be a better tennis player, great tips, QUALITY pros
MG
The tennis instruction was great as was the package deal we received. You can’t beat $200 for one night’s accommodations, 2 hour tennis instruction, 2 hour Round Robin and breakfast. (Just make sure you go to the correct restaurant for your FREE b’fast.) The prices at the Ritz are high, but what a beautiful facility!
TB
This was the perfect tennis weekend for my team. The instruction was professional, fun, and rewarding. The facilities were amazing!
MC
I think the staff was great and professional. I would reccommend this facility to others for a quick weekend getaway from Atlanta. The facility is great and the dining at the Ritz is great !!
PB
Staff was great — attentive and helpful. The pros were very informative and facility is top notch. Would definitely recommend this to friends and would go back again.
TF
Strengths: I thought Dave and Ron were extremely nice and professional. The instruction was informative and useful. Weakness: The pace was too slow for our group.
CW
Strengths: great facilities Weaknesses: tennis drills were too slow paced…too much talking and instruction and not enough ball-feeding and movement. Did not understand or value the point of many of the “games” with special rules.
AK
Dave and Ron worked well together and were wonderful at teaching and helping us improve our tennis game. The facilities were nice and everyone was very accommodating. They made us feel welcome.
SB
I have been twice with my tennis team and loved it both times. Ron and Dave are top notch instructors and I appreciated their professionalism. Can’t wait to go back.
KK
This is our team’s second trip to Reynolds for a tennis weekend. The instruction is always excellent. Ron and Dave do an excellent job. They also made our group feel very welcome and helped us arrange everything from tables for lunch to a round robin format. I highly recommend Reynolds Plantation for a great tennis group weekend.
AA
This was a lovely place with staff that went out of its way to be helpful. They also have a really nice shop with a big selection of shoes and clothing.
SS
We recently had 8 girls from our tennis team attend a 3 day tennis camp at Reynolds. We could not have ordered better weather which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful facility and Reynold’s immaculant courts even more. The two instructors were dynamic and very organized. They listened carefully to our team’s pre-camp input and focused specificaly on the key areas that our teams requested. They gave us excellent drilling/instructional tools that we can appy upon returning to our home courts which will immediatley help to enhance our individual skill level and overall team competitive performance. Both Pros were consistent with their messages and gave all participants the confidence that the techniques we were learning could be mastered and incorporated into our current game. The sessions were extremely educational; however, their ability to immediately engage us in the application of each instructional element helped to maintain our interest, and allowed us sto enjoy the activity while simultaneously learning. The Reynold’s instructors were defintely the best I have ever experienced. I loved the way they worked together. While focusing on the same tennis concept, they were able to translate it slightly differently so that each participant was able to comprehend in their own communication style. We look forard to future camps at Reynolds and hope that we will continue to get the same pros when we return.
KB
I enjoyed this trip immensely. The tennis instuction was great! Dave & Ron were patient, persistant, and personal. They were able to give individual instruction within the group drills. They had a plan, but were able to alter it at a moments notice to suit the group. I hope to make this trip again!
JA
We received great instruction and left with more confidence and ability to improve than I imagined. We are a beginner team and simply ran out of time to cover everything. I would have liked to cover more doubles positioning strategy. Our sessions seemed to lean toward the offensive and I believe some more defensive coaching would have been useful for several of us. We’ll get to that next time!! Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
KV
The tennis camp was wonderful. Dave and Rob were very helpful and easy to understand. I have a better understanding of the total game. Awesome time, hope to come back this fall.
CS
We went as a team and had a wonderful experience. Dave and Ron were very patient and explained the game and steps in the most simple of ways. I wish I had taken lessons from them before playing all this time. They are the best. I plan on going back soon!
CF
The clinic was not only fun, but also helpful for our ALTA team. We went up one level after taking the clinic in the fall.
CB
Dave and Ron provided the most useful instruction I’ve ever received. The lessons were not only fun, but well thought out and always adaptive to the player’s skill level and performance during instruction. Well worth a weekend trip to improve your game in a beautiful setting!
SH
Ron was a great coach. He explained things from beginning to end. Each shot was broken down into parts so that we could work on each part and then build on the prior.
BD
Excellent facilities and very good staff. Dave and Ron have done a great job of increasing interest and acivity level with regular events and by bringing in pros from the area for exhibitions. The training sessions for new PBI pros are great. Getting to play with them is a treat, and they are uniformly fine people.
