Here’s more on why Plantation Bay is an excellent choice for tennis enthusiasts searching for a new custom Florida home.

USTA recognition matters

You bet it does! Facility awards from a national organization mean more than just “lots of courts in good condition.” Only 33 tennis complexes throughout the U.S. received an Outstanding Facility Award. Per the USTA press releases, this annual program, “recognizes excellence in the construction and/or renovation of tennis facilities throughout the country.” The other two 2022 award winners in Florida are BallenIsles Country Club (Palm Beach Gardens) and Star Island Resort (Kissimmee).

Nominated facilities must fit one of three voting categories: public courts, private facilities that support USTA programs and other programs that invite public participation, and educational institutions. Plantation Bay fits the second category.

Per the USTA press release, judging criteria includes: “overall layout and adaptation to site; excellence of court surface and lights; ease of maintenance; accommodations for players, spectators and press/officials; aesthetics; graphics (including the use of signs and landscaping); amenities such as casual seating for spectators, food services and social areas; and the facilities’ participation in USTA programs.”

Back on the big courts, you’ll find many levels of adult leagues, National Tennis Rating Program-sanctioned tournaments, numerous clinics and lesson available for all ages, juniors’ summer camps, and an onsite staff led by Tennis Director Michelle Brown, a U.S. Professional Tennis Association elite pro. Plantation Bay also fields eight teams in the Greater Volusia Tennis League.
