This exclusive tennis club in Monaco is the annual venue for the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters ATP tournament.

To be able to play at the picturesque location by the sea, you pay several thousand euros per year and you have to be nominated by two existing members. 

Astor Private Court

This indoor clay court is housed in Astor Courts in New York. Completed in 1904 for John Jacob Astor IV, this estate was inspired by the Grand Trianon at Versailles. On this course it almost feels like you are playing in a cathedral. Shortly after its construction, however, John lost his life aboard the Titanic. The estate is currently privately owned. Wanting to play here requires some connections… 

Tennis De La Cavalerie

De La Cavalerie is located on the sixth floor of an Art Deco building, just steps from the Eiffel Tower. To access the tennis court you take an old, somewhat rickety elevator that stops directly in front of the entrance to the tennis club. Once you arrive you will find a tennis court made entirely of wood. But even the changing rooms are unique; these have the old-fashioned Wimbledon flair. 

Il San Pietro 

Located on the lush Amalfi Coast, Il San Pietro is located 74 meters above the sea. Staying in one of the accommodations also includes access to the beautiful tennis court. You can play the ultimate game of tennis here between the rock walls and the Mediterranean greenery. Because the course is located on the beach, you can immediately dive into the sea after a heated match. 

The Enchantment Resort
