That’s only the beginning, as this resort also offers tennis and pickleball year-round, so you can play no matter what time you visit.

In addition to Wintergreen racquet sports, the resort hosts classes and camps for players of any skill level and age. Book your vacation today, and enjoy the fun of racquet sports from the comfort of a stunning resort that goes far beyond a simple mountain inn.

Indoor and Outdoor Tennis Courts at Wintergreen Resort in Virginia

At Wintergreen Resort, you’ll find 19 tennis courts and 14 pickleball courts. Sixteen of the tennis courts are clay courts and located outside, while three of them are indoor and made from DecoTurf. The pickleball courts include six inside and eight outdoors.

Up Your Tennis Game With Wintergreen’s Tennis Academy

While you are free to play a friendly game of tennis, Wintergreen offers the opportunity to improve your skills with the Wintergreen Tennis Academy. According to Tennis Magazine, Wintergreen has been one of the top 50 tennis programs in the country for the past 18 years. Tennis Resorts Online also ranked it in the top 25 tennis resorts worldwide.

The Wintergreen Academy tennis camp has quite a bit to offer, no matter your skill level, allowing you to learn things like doubles positioning and movement, mental toughness techniques, communication, racquet skills, and aggressive play techniques. If your kids are interested in learning, you can book the Junior class specifically designed for 8- to 18-year-olds with tennis staff with experience with children and high school kids. All academies additionally offer free outdoor court time and discounted indoor court time. You even get free use of the demo racquets and an academy souvenir to take home.

Sip and Play With Wintergreen’s Tennis + Wine Camp

Enjoying a glass of wine after a game of tennis can make the experience much more enjoyable, but the Tennis + Wine Camp at Wintergreen takes it even further. It begins with an exclusive tour of local vineyards on Friday, while Saturday is reserved for training by tennis players to USTA and USPTA standards.

Perfect Your Pickleball Swing at Wintergreen

Pickleball is a growing sensation among racquet sports, and Wintergreen makes it easy to enjoy the dynamic games its unique rules create. You can choose between outdoor and indoor courts for Wintergreen pickleball fun, and that’s only the beginning. You can also opt for private court reservations if you want to make sure you get a spot, and you can enjoy weekly classes like Pickleball 101. Private lessons are also available.

Pickleball Open Play is a special Wintergreen event that allows anyone interested in the game to meet other pickleball enthusiasts for competitive matches and fun. Players of all levels are welcome, and Open Play is held every Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Balls are provided for you.

Need Gear? No Problem

If you don’t have your own tennis or pickleball gear, you can still enjoy Wintergreen’s facilities. They have an entire pro shop that offers all the equipment and clothing you need. You can buy gear if you’re looking to turn this kind of fun into a regular activity, but rental equipment is available as well for people just looking to see how they like the experience.

Not a Wintergreen Club Member? Check Out Rodes Farm!

The Devil’s Knob racquet sports facility is available to Wintergreen Club members and resort guests, but you still have options if you don’t feel like joining the club. At the bottom of the mountain is Rodes Farm, which has a combination tennis-pickleball court open to Wintergreen guests. The court is open during daylight hours on a first-come, first-served basis.

    Nice place! We loved opening up all the windows and feeling the cool mountain air. It was 10° cooler at the top of the mountain than it was in the valley.

    We enjoyed our stay! There is a great trail from the condo that follows along the road. It was so nice to be able to go for a run in nature right outside of Erik and Lia’s place.
