    We participated in the Platform Tennis program. The Lodge is exactly that, a Lodge. Clean, somewhat renovated, in the woods, beautiful location. It’s rustic which is what we expected. Nice size double rooms. Food is excellent, well prepared, healthy options, delicious. We ran into problems with one of the Paddle tennis pros…extraordinarily negative and demotivating. I’ve never experienced that in 30 years of racquet sports. He was terrible to us. And that’s why we were there as a team. The other pro was great. Anyway, just wanted to provide that feedback because it was a bad experience.

    Excellent food. Welcoming and knowledgeable staff. The staff stayed late to welcome us in on our first night and saved dinner for us. The tennis was great. Loved the instructors. The accommodations were a bit rustic. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable. There were bugs in the room. Bathroom was very small.

    We just returned to Total Tennis for a third time. We have 2 children and we all love visiting. The grounds are beautiful and serene. The rooms have been completely renovated since our last stay. While they are basic, they are very clean and comfortable. The resort now has free WiFi but I love that there are no TVs in the room because it really fosters socializing as a family and with other guests in the meeting areas. All meals are included and served buffet style. There are healthy options and everything is fresh and delicious. Total Tennis also cares about the environment by composting, organic gardening and solar panels. The tennis instruction is delivered based on your level as in our family we range from very beginner to advanced. The instructors are helpful and staff very accommodating. While we had our lessons separately for four hours per day, we had lots of time together, like in the new hot tub. The pool area is also new, but only open in the summer. Our daughter literally cries each time we have to leave, but we’ll be back again.

    What a perfect ladies weekend getaway at the end of winter or early spring when it is still too cold to play tennis outdoors. Maybe you can be lucky enough(as we were) to pick a warm sunny weekend in April to have our private lesson OUTDOORS! Our pros were entertaining when they weren’t assisting in correcting our strokes.The indoor courts were tops. The meals were again scrumptious. When our bodies were aching, we dashed to the hot tub for relief. Lastly, it was such a pleasure to spend social time with each other- women of all ages who love tennis…and life.

    The tennis is fun. The lessons which are included are plenty of tennis. I was exhausted at the end of the day. The food was very good but I am not picky. The lodging is just fine. I spent most of my time out of the room. We played games in the lodge at night. I think that Total Tennis is a great value for a tennis vacation. I have been going for about 6 years.

    It is a GREAT place to come together with old friends to play a lot of great tennis. Instructors are fun and energetic. They concentrate on your weaknesses or allow you to just practice depending on what you want. The food is to die for!! Fresh Farm to table, amazing choices and we all rave about the selection of wines and desserts as well. Ed is the owner and he is a bit quirky but lovable non the less. I highly recommend grabbing a few friends and hitting the courts. The rooms have all been redone and they are amazing. The new pool is now centrally located and feels great after a long hot day in the sun.

    If you like an affordable, intensive tennis weekend experience close to Albany and not far from NYC-Metro area, this is a sure bet. The pro staff are excellent, and there is high retention, so the same pros are instructing us year after year, and get to know what we need to work on. The lodgings have all been recently renovated, the food is abundant and great, and overall the experience is so much fun for groups! What it is NOT – not great for solo campers, not great for anyone looking for any kind of night life, not great for a romantic getaway, not great for someone looking for uber-luxe accommodations.

    Love this place, great tennis, food and players. Recently renovated new pool area – terrific

  • FS

    Excellent all around! Will be back this year

    Overall great tennis camp….food is excellent, accommodations are adequate, tennis instructors are very good. You stay with the same instructor for the duration of your stay which could be a problem if you get one you don’t care for. Quiet, peaceful area in upstate NY

    I love total tennis – great instruction, great food, all of the rooms have been renovated in the past two or three years, and best of all it is a warm and welcoming place.

    Great place! Great instruction! Great food! Great bang for your buck. Great view!

    I have been returning to this tennis resort at least annually for over fifteen years and even though I have always been enchanted by the high level of instruction, the sense of unity, camaraderie,and friendliness among the campers, (most of whom, like me, are return customers), and the great food, the biggest problems used to be the lack of anything to do beside tennis and the threadbare hotel rooms. While the former has been somewhat relieved by a new swimming pool, there really isn’t much to do in Saigerties. This is especially true since such a large number of guests are from NYC, making the contrast worse. However, the remodeling of the rooms has gone a long way towards improving the overall experience. Also, while the instruction is a little better for intermediate and advanced than for beginners, I believe that this too is changing.

    Spent last weekend on the recently renovated courts at Total Tennis, just a two hour drive north of New York City. As a repeat camper, I knew what to expect and was not disappointed by terrific tennis and superb instruction complemented by three delicious meals. Luckily the weather cooperated and kudos to them for the new pool and surrounding courtyard. Very often I go solo but this time was accompanied by my wife. We play at different levels and a good time was had by all…Recommended to tennis players everywhere.

    I love the all inclusive adult packages including 5 hours of instruction per day with small groups. There are 20 + outdoor courts (mostly clay) and 5 indoor courts in case of inclement weather. The included meals once again did not disappoint. This year, thee updates include a new in ground pool, updated rooms, and Wifi available throughout the properties. If you are looking for lots of tennis at a very reasonable price this is the place to go.
