Powered by GoogleI went to Island Slice Tennis located at the Fairmont Orchid three days while on the Big island. I attended two of the daily open tennis clinics, with Rudy and Jonny, as well as had a private lesson with Jonny. Overall the experience was fantastic. Both coaches have a keen eye for improvements and provided drills that helped improve some deficiencies in my tennis game. The open clinics were a great source of exercise and drills as well as receiving some instruction and tips on my game. They were a ton of fun. The private lesson with Jonny was incredibly helpful as he picked up on two fast fixes in my ground strokes and volleys that I could take with me and practice. The improvement was immediate and he was great to work with. The courts and grounds were surrounded by beautiful Hawaiian vegetation. The team was super helpful. And they validated parking! Give yourself at least 5-10 minutes to park and check in. Parking is to the left of the entrance of the resort and the courts are off to the right. This was a super fun experience and I’ll definitely do it again when I’m on the Big Island.
Signed up for a clinic that turned into a private lesson with Gannon. Great coach with helpful feedback! Courts are nice and they've got a ton of rackets - all a bit older but still modern for rental.
This is a great place to reserve a court, take lessons, drop into the daily morning clinic, and find others to play with. Rudy cares about the community, loves the sport, and meets players where they are. The setting is tranquil. Ron is a wonderful player (on the ukelele too!) and runs a friendly clinic. These guys helped me get back to the sport after decades away, and when time/life permits in the future, it’s my goal to play there every day!
This is our family's tennis home on the Big Island! Set among gardens, within sight and sound of the ocean, the courts are wonderful to play. Rudy, the owner and head pro, is a gifted instructor and coach--from fundamentals and technique, to strategy and the mental game. He'll improve anyone's tennis in one session--and he's inspiring with kids. Tennis pro Ron, a local tennis legend, will always leave you smiling. And the entire staff are welcoming and helpful. This is a tennis center that caters to resort guests and local enthusiasts together, with aloha and tennis for everyone.
Island Slice Tennis, associated with the Fairmont hotel, makes my day, 7 days a week! Rudy, the owner and tennis pro is just that. He is the best coach I’ve ever played with and my game shows it. He teaches clinics for all ages as well as private lessons. (Many of the young kids even call him Uncle Rudy.) I could not recommend him and the club more highly! On top of it all, he’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
