Hilton Head Island, SC -- Port Royal Golf and Racquet Club has been rated among the "Top 75 Tennis Resorts" for the second year in a row. Tennis Resorts Online named Port Royal a Gold Medal Resort placing 21st among the "Top 75 Tennis Resorts". This is Port Royal’s second year receiving this award, last year ranking among Silver Medal Resorts. These ratings are based on data collected from an online survey taken by vacationers and consumers throughout the year.

From its opening in 1985, Port Royal Racquet Club has been host to the game's legends and superstars, like Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf. The Club hosts approximately 50 groups a year ranging in size from as few as four to as many as eighty.

"It is a true testament to our staff and facility that our guests are continuing to rank us among the top 75," says Denny Bianco, Director of Tennis at Port Royal. "Our staff at the Club is very deserving of this award for their daily commitment to serving our guests above and beyond their expectations. It takes support and hard work from various other departments to run a successful tennis program; Food and Beverage, Golf Staff, and Executive Staff to name a few."

The Club features ten clay, four hard and two grass courts with stadium seating and lights for night matches. It is the only tennis facility in South Carolina showcasing all three of these Grand Slam surfaces. Confederate jasmines and other lush tropical vegetation set the backdrop for the full range of quality tennis programs with certified professionals and a friendly pro shop staff.

Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club is located on the northwestern point of Hilton Head Island on the Port Royal Plantation along with the luxurious oceanfront Westin Resort.
