Kiawah Island Golf Resort

Fairmont Orchid Hawaii, Kohala Coast, HI

🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 ”Excellent tennis center. The morning clinic with coach rudy was great. We met a lot of local people and ended up playing doubles with them. The people handling the desk were such a pleasure to talk to and super nice. Wonderful experience, makes you come more to the big island just for the tennis.”

🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾 "I’ve been going to La Quinta Resort for the past 35 years. My family and I absolutely love it. Every time we go, we play tennis and pickleball every day. We also use the gym. It’s the perfect size. We love Kevin, Jose, Caesar and all the pros and staff there. They treat us like family. They’re very accommodating, passionate about tennis and pickleball, and very friendly. The clinics are super fun. The courts are always in great shape and it’s the most beautiful setting. It’s our favorite place to play tennis and pickleball!”
