It's my first ATP Challenger tour; Jack Sock is the only player I know - he lost to another American Boyer in the three set. It's a small and intimate tournament. Music blasting in the background. The portable bathrooms are a notch up from the porta potty. Parking seems enough for the event.

Great spot to pick up a game, hit on the wall, take a class or do a drop-in 'triples' play. Staff…read morevery helpful, you don't have to be a member. The courts are well maintained. The har-tru courts are so fun to play on. After tennis you can get an ice cold beer or gatorade in the tiny pub. I love this place!!

The fitness center at LWRGCC is really quite good. The equipment (wide variety) is all fairly new…read moreand well maintained. The center itself is very clean all the time. They offer combination lockers for daily use. They offer many classes included in membership like pilates, yoga, high intensity workouts, water aerobics, etc. Staff is generally friendly and helpful. I've been a member for a year and a half now, and still trying to find the best time to go, when it isn't so crowded. The personal trainers don't work on weekends, so generally fewer people there on weekends. When the snowbirds are in town, obviously more crowded. I guess my only real complaint is with some of the other members and basic gym etiquette. Some folks simply don't wipe down the equipment after use, and some folks will hang out resting on a machine or looking at their phone for what seems like a long time while others are waiting for that equipment.

Our kids recently took their first ever tennis lessons with Wayne and I can say sincerely that he…read moreis among the finest instructors I've seen, having been around this sport for over 30 years. He brought them up the learning curve so quickly it was amazing, while making the experience so enjoyable it left them clamoring for more. Also helped my wife dust off the cobwebs and tune her game up. Its one thing to be a great player, its another to also be a great instructor and inspiration. That's Wayne.

Four stars for this tucked away Long Boat Key community…read more Yes, this is an older subdivision, and not the most luxurious set of condos on the Island. It is also true, however, that affordable condos are very hard to find on Long Boat Key. These townhouses are very large and relatively affordable. We didn't play tennis, and we avoided the pool (due to pandemic concerns), so we really can't speak to those amenities. This place does have lush, well kept landscaping, a dock on the inter-coastal, and it's own mini beach on the inter-coastal (during low tide, the beach does disappear during high tide). Each unit is a bit different, so I probably should leave out most those details, but I can say our unit had a nice long garage, 3 bathrooms, and two bedrooms. The Wifi in our unit was excellent. **Note**, these units are not walking distance to the gulf beaches. We would recommend these condos to anyone wanting to hang out on Long Boat Key without breaking the bank.

The front desk girl is horrible. She's not very nice and seems distracted all the time. Unless you…read morehave a tennis reservation question or issue. Anything else is too much of a hassle for her. Avoid her and continue down the hall to someone with less of an attitude. Otherwise, this place overall is pretty average. Tennis? Sure, they have courts and I guess that's nice. But the rental condos are pretty outdated. They also say they are close to the beach. They are not. They are at least a mile to the closest beach access. The also say they have kayaks with every rental. Not the case either. When we checked in and asked about them, they said "yeah, we no longer do that and haven't updated our website". Just about all rentals down here have tennis courts. And many are closer to the beach . Good luck.
