Saddlebrook Resort
A legendary Tampa Bay resort, the award-winning Saddlebrook Resort has made a name for itself as an unforgettable meeting and vacation destination and one of the nation's preeminent training facilities for athletes. The resort rests on 480 acres of rolling terrain surrounded by lagoons and cypress trees, Saddlebrook was purposely planned as a car-free Walking Village, ensuring guests can easily walk throughout the entire resort.
Tennis programs
The Tennis Academy was acquired in 1986 by the legendary Harry Hopman. Harry Hopman's philosophy and focus on fitness made Hopman one of the most successful tennis coaches in history and became the foundation of the Saddlebrook Program. The focus is still under the leadership of The Tennis Program Director, Howard Moore, and the intense drills we run during daily clinics.
The Hopman Tennis Program at Saddlebrook offers tennis programs for players of all ages and ability levels. The renowned Tampa tennis facility attracts enthusiasts from across the globe and is home to 43 tennis courts including all four Grand Slam surfaces.
Saddlebrook Tennis has the ability to cater to the true tennis fanatics who choose to participate in our demanding five-hour a day program, offered 365 days a year, while also providing corporate meeting attendees with an opportunity to fit in a quick lesson or a few sets of competitive play.
The combination of tranquillity, privacy and exclusivity on property coupled with the energy of the world's top players training to reach their ATP and WTA success goals has made Saddlebrook a historic and legendary training ground.
In fact, guests have enjoyed watching some of the world's best players during their training at Saddlebrook, including in the past: Jim Courier, Pete Sampras, Martina Hingis, James Blake, and currently, John Isner, Jack Sock, and Bob and Mike Bryan.
