Tennis is a very active sport in Naples, FL. Nearly all of Naples' Country Clubs have tennis programs run by a USTA tennis professional, with beautiful Har-tru (clay) courts. Some clubs also have hard courts available in addition to the preferred clay surface.
Many of the clubs are "bundled" - which means that club membership is included with the purchase of your home. If you were a tennis player "only," you wouldn't normally think it rational to purchase in a "bundled" golf community, but it is done. Often the fees are very reasonable and the golf /tennis membership is an attractive sales feature. Monthly dues can be as low as $100 which includes features such as golf, tennis, fitness, clubhouse, driving range, restaurant, computer rooms, etc. Ask your Realtor for more information.
