A Legendary Desert Tennis Escape
Escape the Minnesota winter for seven nights of tennis, sunshine and relaxation in California's spectacular Coachella Valley.
Surrounded by palm trees and the Santa Rosa Mountains, La Quinta Resort & Club combines a celebrated tennis tradition with the atmosphere of a classic California desert resort.
This retreat is designed to give you the best of both worlds: a full week of professionally hosted tennis along with plenty of time to relax, explore the desert, enjoy the resort and experience everything the La Quinta and Palm Springs area has to offer.
This is not a tennis camp. It's a vacation built around great tennis.
The Racquet Experience
Your week will feature professionally hosted tennis sessions with Dan Mainzer, Host Professional, combining instruction, drills, doubles strategy, match play and friendly competition.
The schedule provides approximately 12 hours of planned tennis throughout the week while preserving plenty of time to enjoy the destination.

Your Stay
Spend seven nights surrounded by palm trees, gardens and the dramatic Santa Rosa Mountains at La Quinta Resort & Club.
The resort's classic California desert setting creates an ideal home base for a week built around tennis, relaxation and warm-weather escape.
Between tennis sessions, guests have plenty of time to enjoy the pools and resort atmosphere, relax in the California sunshine or venture out to explore La Quinta and the surrounding Palm Springs and Coachella Valley area.
The goal is simple: Play enough tennis to make the trip special — but leave enough time to make it a vacation.

Playing Level
High Intermediate – Advanced (NTRP 3.5–4.5)
The right group makes the retreat.
Our retreats are intentionally organized around compatible playing levels. Keeping players within an appropriate range allows us to create better drills, competitive match play and a more enjoyable on-court experience for everyone.
UTR-rated players are welcome as well. Because NTRP and UTR do not have a direct one-to-one conversion, simply provide your current UTR when you inquire.
Not sure of your rating? No problem. Tell us about your playing background and Dan will personally help determine whether the retreat is the right fit.
