They could not provide one name of a 3.5 or 4.0 lady player over the course for 4 days. ![]() It also indicates that they will arrange match play. The website should indicate this "policy". ![]() The "policy" to lessen time is simply a way for the Top Notch to charge more money. I've also found clubs to add more courts when attendees exceed 4. In fact, I have intentionally attended the 8am clinic and had a private clinic, because many players prefer starting at later times. Once a clinic schedule is published, it is held for the full length regardless of the number of players. I have attended Saddle brook Tennis Academy, in Tampa, Palmetto Dunes Tennis at Hilton Head, Stratton Tennis in Vermont, Sugarbush Tennis among a few. ![]() The policy would be to shorten the clinic to 30 minutes, unless someone else appeared. The following day, I called again to 'sign up", no answer at 8am, club returned my call later and informed me I was the only player for the clinic. As luck would have it, 3 others appeared, the tennis was good quality and 1.5 hours. The pro informed me that if there were not 4 players, the clinic would be shortened to 1 hour for 2 players, same price. Once I arrived, there was one other player. Once I arrived, I contacted the club to inquire about the clinic, I was "discouraged" with the reservationist comments that the tennis was "low" rated, 3.0 quality and re directed to the possibility of a 1 hour private lesson for $175.! I selected the clinic, for $39.00 1.5 hours. I called Topnotch tennis prior to our trip to inquire about clinics, matching service and lessons. I am a 4.0 USTA female player always looking for good tennis work outs. It was quite astonishing and disappointing. He was too busy chatting up the player who was taking private lessons from him. I recall practicing serves for last 10 minutes of clinic and as expected, the male Pro never once uttered a coaching tip. Pro's tend to offer tips only to those who are taking the private lessons. I spent 1/2 the time just standing there, waiting for her to return a ball 'over 'the net. Live drills were encouraged - but if you are a 4.0 + player stuck with hitting against a 3.0 player in your group you're doomed. As an alumni of Bolleteri Academy and several others in FL the pool of 'good' players are limited. Pro's are polite - but unfortunately are quite stingy with coaching tips. If you're a 4.0 or above you risk warming up with players that are far beneath your level. Clinics are definately tailored to levels 2.0 - 3.5. Folks warming up in the middle of the courts with 'no net'. The Bad: As a guest of Top Notch resort - I arrived at morning clinics to overbooked sessions.
