The staff are always helpful, the grounds are always immaculate, the food is good, and the fact that where you're staying is nestled in the heart of the Hill Country away from noise pollution, but close enough to hit civilization- Newks has it all; if you ever get a chance to go on the Ropes Course- take that chance, very accommodating for groups large and small, young and not-so-young, and you always leave with a sense of being a better person because the staff is that good at giving you a once-in-a-lifetime experience (twice or more if you're lucky).
Great instruction with 4 to 1 max student to coach ratio. We were not as good as the other players so a lot of time we had our own private coach. Huge facility including 4 indoor courts. Friendly folks and fun communal dining.
A great place to take your family to learn how to play tennis they have so many activities greatstaff good people to work with I enjoy going there and in participation in different events that they can a can a hold
Awesome experience all around. Can't wait to come back!
Top notch. Tasty food and friendly staff. Great facilities and great location. Very relaxing. Good bar too.
Our family attended Newcombe's Tennis Ranch in July and we learned a lot and had a great time. My husband and I stayed in a court side condo and my 11 and 13 year old boys stayed with their respective groups in a cabin or dorm. The condo was a little old, but the bathroom had been redone. The kitchen was old, but we never prepared a meal there, so it didn't matter. Bring plates cups and utensils because not much is provided. We had a washer dryer which we used daily. Our only complaint is that we were on the 2nd floor and even with the a/c full blast, the room would get warm.
Our younger son stayed in a cabin with three other boys and their counselor/coach. The beds are pretty roughly made and I was glad my son was on the top bunk because I could just imagine the whole thing collapsing. Thankfully that did not happen. Their bathroom was pretty dirty from day one with dust bunnies and no hand soap in the bathroom. We went to the store to get them soap so they could at least possibly wash their hands. The dorm my older son stayed in was packed with boys (about 20 or so) and I didn't get to look around much, but my older son didn't complain about the dorm. I hope he had hand soap. He's not a tennis player, but learned enough over the week to place 1st in his group for doubles. He liked the social aspect of camp. My younger son already played tennis, but what he learned at camp help him win a tennis tournament (singles) the following weekend.
My husband is experienced and I am a beginner, but we both learned a lot and plan on going back next summer. The food was pretty good- no complaints. The pros- Ross, Hunter and Chris were awesome. We spent 2.5 hours on the court in the am (8-10:30) and 2.5 in the pm (1-3:30). The heat on the court in July was brutal but we survived with lots of water and plenty of breaks. I would recommend Newcombe's to anyone looking to improve/develop their game.
My second visit this summer for a weekend clinic at the ranch. Nice facility and excellent, personalized instruction from Hunter and his team. Hunter runs a good clinic for adults. Highly recommended.
It's awesome and really fun you've got to check it out.
I train here everyday, it's a blast if you want to enhance your tennis game
We had an amazing room. It was so peaceful and warming. We didnt want to leave
A great place to stay and play tennis in the hill country. They have meeting rooms for other groups as well. The Massage Therapist are wonderful, book your appointments early. The views and food are great and you will probably see deer or other small wildlife walking around. Great place to get away and attend tennis camps for adults and kids.
