NOTHING BUT NET AT MAUNA LANI, AUBERGE RESORTS COLLECTION
CLIFF DRYSDALE TENNIS’S newest resort location is Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection, an inspiring cultural retreat with dreamy beaches, broad ocean views, and lush green mountains.
Here, on the Kohala Coast of the Island of Hawaii, you can immerse yourself in authentic Hawaiian culture while awakening your passion for the game. Situated on 32 oceanfront acres, no place is more sacred than Mauna Lani with its ancient Hawaiian fishponds, expansive beaches, and curated experiences distinctly reminiscent of authentic Hawaii. Spacious oceanview accommodations offer the perfect escape after a day on the courts or exploring the island.
The Cliff Drysdale Tennis Garden at Mauna Lani reflects a similar oasis.

Boasting six newly refreshed tennis courts, two of which are lighted for evening play, the new tennis program offers an amazing variety of opportunities for island residents and resort guests of all ages and levels.
