Tennis Program
The Amelia Island Plantation tennis program has been recognized
as one of the finest in the world offering a variety of tournaments and facilities
that cater to the whole family and every level of play. 23 Har-Tru, fast-dry
clay courts are shaded beneath majestic live oaks in a beautiful Florida
setting. You'll enjoy day or night play and top notch features, like the
concave wooden backboard and ball machines that can provide everything from
a topspin lob to a smash down the center line.
Racquet Park
Racquet Park at Amelia Island Plantation...the name itself
creates anticipation. Since its grand opening in 1974, Racquet Park has hosted
some of the greatest names in tennis history. Graf, Navratilova, Evert, Hingis,
Seles, Sampras, Connors and Agassi are among the legends that have graced
its famed center court. The Women's Tennis Association has chosen our breathtaking
island resort as home to the Bausch & Lomb Championships. Each spring,
this televised premier event reaffirms the national caliber of the resort's
tennis facilities and favor among the world's top pros.
