A Court You’ll Love

Game-Set-Match

Imagine lining up to serve that signature fluorescent ball while the smell of a nearby barbecue seeps into your senses. At Wequassett, our raised viewing terrace and cookout spaces make the tennis and pickleball courts a perfect location for a competitive match or laid back party. 

With three Har-Tru tennis courts and custom trellises for privacy, you’ll have the opportunity to take lessons with our resident pro — who will also gladly fill in for a game of doubles — arrange tournaments, and gather family and friends for a day of round robin play. At the end of the night, hop in the nearby jacuzzi and pool for some much-needed relaxation, or enter the pro shop for quality equipment, and resort activities and gifts.
