Resort Tennis

Tennis with a View

Poco Diablo Resort is Home to 4 Hard Courts

When you think of outdoor recreation in Sedona, you probably think of sports like hiking, rock climbing, and mountain biking. Those sports are invigorating and exhilarating, but there’s nothing quite as spectacular as a tennis or pickleball match set against the natural panorama of the red rocks.

If you’re looking for tennis or pickleball with the perfect view, this is the place – whether you want to work on your game with friends or enhance your skills with instruction by one of our professional instructors. As a guest here, the use of our courts as well as rental racquets is included in your resort fee. Add-on lessons, clinics, and drills with our friendly staff are available for a nominal fee

Call the tennis club at 928-203-5931 for more information and to reserve your court.
Hours: 8:00 am-5:00 pm.
