Pickleball & Tennis

An Unparalleled Top-of-the-Mountain Experience

Nestled beneath the trees and adjacent to our Nicklaus Design Golf Course, our pickleball & tennis courts at the summit provide an excellent racquet sport experience for beginners and pros alike. Our seasonal programming features owners’ leagues, round robin mixers, clinics, tournaments, open play opportunities and more. You can even rent and purchase any equipment you may need at the Pro Shop or Bear N’ Bean.

MEET DIRECTOR OF RACQUET SPORTS,
JOHN GREEN

A longtime member of the USTA (United States Tennis Association) with a burning passion for pickleball, John Green brings enthusiasm and a wealth of experience to the courts every day. Since 2003, he has played on over 140 USTA teams, captained 80 of them, and qualified for the National Championships 5 times. He also served as the General Manager of the St. Petersburg Tennis Center in Florida before joining the Bear Lake Reserve family in 2019. After one clinic with John, you’re sure to catch what he calls the “pickleball bug”. Why? “It’s easy to learn, easy to play, and it’s the fastest growing sport in the world. You can learn to play in just one session, then join in on all the fun.”

Favorite thing about Pickleball: “It’s easy to learn, easy to play, it’s the fastest growing sport in the world. You can learn to play in one session….then join in on all the fun.”
