GRASS TENNIS
Dating back centuries, grass tennis courts were the original surface to be played on. In the United States today, grass surfaces make up less than one percent of the nation’s tennis courts. With 15 grass courts that emerge from the dramatic natural sand dunes of central Wisconsin, Sand Valley provides an authentic grass tennis experience that few other destinations provide.
Embrace the history and tradition of grass tennis at Sand Valley.
“I’m willing to travel vast distances and take all opportunities to get back to this quiet, beautiful headspace.”
