Tennis & Recreation

Tennis has always been and continues to be the mainstay of Gardiner's Resort. The John Gardiner method of teaching tennis has been nationally renowned since its inception in 1957. Perhaps you're a die-hard enthusiast or maybe a fair weather player. Whatever your pursuit, you will find the highest level of assistance on our 8 championship courts and a specialized teaching court.

The Resort offers a three-day clinic in addition to private and semi-private lessons. Quality instruction from the trained staff of tennis teaching professionals, utilizing up-to-date training techniques, is available to every level of tennis player from the beginner to advanced.

Beginning students will be introduced to the game of tennis. While the intermediate to advanced player will be challenged by clinic drills focused at perfecting strokes and footwork. Groups are formed according to ability level, and drills are gauged to accommodate them. You are encouraged to make specific requests to meet your specific goals. Our personal attention insures we keep customized clinics small.

Our clinic format involves court rotations that cover serves/service returns, groundstrokes, approach shots, volleys and overheads, and doubles strategy. Video analysis is also available.
