The Fairmont Southampton (Southampton Parish): This is Bermuda's premier destination for avid players. Its tennis court complex is not only the largest on the island, but also is maintained in state-of-the-art condition. The deluxe hotel, one of the finest on Bermuda, offers 11 Plexipave courts. The courts are somewhat protected from the north winds, but swirling breezes may affect your final score.

Government Tennis Stadium (Pembroke Parish): Although Bermuda has been known as the tennis capital of the Atlantic since 1873, players often complain that the trade winds around the island affect their game, especially near the water. That's why many prefer inland courts, such as those at this government-owned stadium. It offers three clay and five Plexicushion courts (three illuminated for night play). The facility, which is north of the City of Hamilton, requires players to wear proper tennis attire. On-site you'll find a pro shop, a ball machine, and a pro offering private lessons.
