The Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center provides classes and clinics for players of all ages and skills. The award-winning complex is one reason Palmetto Dunes was ranked in The 50 Greatest U.S. Tennis Resorts by Tennis Magazine. The Palmetto Dunes Tennis & Pickleball Center features 24 dedicated Pickleball courts, 8 lighted for night play via the timer system and 17 clay tennis courts, four of which are lighted for night play.
My husband and I have been coming to Palmetto Dunes for the last few years and have recently started to play pickleball. We took lessons at Palmetto Dunes Tennis and Pickleball Center. Our instructor Chris was excellent. She took her time with each of us and gave us a tremendous amount of information. We walked away and felt more confident in our skills. We would highly recommend her and the facility.

We came down for a long girl's pickleball weekend staying in Palmetto Dunes and playing pickleball for 5 days. We had Nancy Clause 2 days for lessons (along with Rick and Andy) and the private sessions were truly worth it. Nancy was ready for us (all 12 of us) with concise instruction and drills for all of us to work on. Moving right along, she had us constantly working on practical techniques that we could literally then take and put into practice in our games. Plus, she was super sweet always chatting with us when she would see us at Round Robins or playing on our own. If you are into pickleball, you should definitely go play at Palmetto Dunes. With 24 outdoor courts, they have have a lot of room for you/your group and definitely do the Round Robins where they use every court -- 96 people! -- and there are people on the wait list!! Super fun and organized by level. I also want to thank Chris who runs pickleball there -- thank you for all your help setting up our group with our lessons, round robins and court time and for helping get all 12 of us registered and paid, etc. Everyone is great to work with -- very accommodating! And the culture there is positive and fun. Great trip -- we will be back next year (get ready!!). XO

Such a wonderful experience with the tennis clinics - Eric Wammock, director of tennis was incredible- we learned so much from the clinics this week and he just made the experience so much fun. Excellent instruction and tips to improve our skill set and personalize the experience for everyone in attendance. Hilarious comments throughout the clinics making it so enjoyable and always looking forward to the next session. We will be back! -Thank you Eric!

Large number of well maintained pickleball courts. Staff and coaches are friendly and attentive. Paking is close to courts. I've been taking lessons with Coach Nancy Clouse for over a year and have been able to transfer my work directly into successful play. Nancy is very observant and quick to make adjustments in my technique or court positioning so I'm getting the best result from my lesson. I would recommend taking lessons and or clinics at Palmetto Dunes.
