Van der Meer Tennis Center, at 19 DeAllyon Avenue on the south end of the island, is the tennis program most visitors have heard of before they arrive. It teaches players of every age and level, and it is open to visitors who are not staying at a resort.
Clinics, Camps and Lessons
Adult clinics: doubles, drill and play, weekend and week-long sessions, and senior programs.
Juniors: summer camps and clinics, a youth program for ages 5 to 12, and a Junior Tennis Academy.
Private lessons and group instruction, plus tennis teaching courses for coaches.
Indoor and Covered Courts
The center says it has the only covered and indoor courts on Hilton Head and in Bluffton, so it is the one to call when rain or heat cancels a morning on the clay and hard courts elsewhere. Call to confirm which courts are open for the time you want.
