Discover Sunriver Tennis

Tennis enthusiasts can enjoy playing on Sunriver’s 17 tennis courts. The largest bank of tennis courts is at the North Court Complex next to Woodlands Golf Course.
Smaller court complexes nestled within the pines dot the community, creating a private court experience. Neighborhood courts, available first to Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) members, can be found found at Fort Rock Park, Meadow Village, Ranch Cabins and Cottonwood. Condominium courts, available to condo owners and guests, are located at Quelah Condos, Stoneridge Condos, The Pines, Alberello Condos and North Course Estates.

To ensure a high-quality playing experience, the SROA continues to resurface many of its existing courts when needed, which proves to be quite a draw for state and national tennis tournaments.

Our Pickleball Pro  

Luis Bayol knew on his first visit that he would retire in Sunriver. “We were here for a family reunion. I started my day with a morning run, then a mid-morning bike ride, kayaking and finished with playing golf,” Luis said. “Where else can you do so many activities in one day.”

The retired accountant/CPA was introduced to a new sport in 2012. “I had no clue about pickle ball even though it was invented in 1965 by two dads in Bainbridge Island in Washington,” Luis said. “I enjoy playing because it’s a fun, social yet competitive sport.” 

He’s now Sunriver Pickleball Pro, having earned an IPTPA Level 2 certification as a  pickle ballinstructor. He has a USAPA 5.0 tournament rating for mixed doubles and is a Team Selkirk sponsored player. Luis teaches beginners through 4.0 rated players. Bayol played tennis for many years prior to pickleball and was a Division 1 college baseball player. He has won medals at many pickle ball tournaments. 

The Sunriver Pickleball Club was established in 2012 by Anita and John Lohman. As of April 2022, there are 320 members. the club is open to SROA Homeowners, community members and visitors.

The club meets 9:30 am to 12:230 pm in May, June and September, and 8 to 11 am in July and August on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at the Fort Rock Park Pickleball Courts. “Everyone is welcome and it’s a great way rot meet new friends,” Luis said. 

He and his wife, Ann, enjoy taking their guests kayaking on the river, bike riding throughout Sunriver and hiking at Benham Falls. “I feel like I am living in a place where I am always on a vacation,” he said.
