Among world-class dining, signature golf courses, and one-of-a-kind spa experiences, are St. Andrews Country Club’s 14 exceptional clay tennis courts. From pickup matches to league play, our tennis program offers a complete schedule for players of all skill levels. Overseeing this exceptional complex is our Director of Tennis, the very gifted Aaron Krickstein. Formerly ranked as high as No. 6 in the world, Aaron is a nine-time ATP Tour titlist and still holds the record for the youngest player to win an ATP Tour event at age 16, and also the youngest to crack the world’s top 10 at age 17. After years of experience at St. Andrews, Aaron has observed extensive growth in our tennis program. Discover Aaron’s take on why tennis is one of the club’s most popular sports.
High event attendance
Each year the St. Andrews social calendar is filled with events from cooking classes and black-tie dinners to a multitude of sports clinics and tournaments. In general, our tennis events have grown tremendously over the last couple of years. Many of our events are at near or full capacity, which has been wonderful for our program. Unfortunately, this past season with COVID-19 club restrictions and guidelines, we have not been able to run some of our events. However, we did have our Pro-Am, Play for Pink event and our Ladies and Men’s Member-Guest tournaments in early March 2020. All had outstanding attendance and excitement. We have also seen a terrific uptick in attendance this past year in our Twilight Tennis Mixers on Monday evenings.
Activities for all
Our Tennis Program incorporates a wide variety of activities designed for players of all of ages and abilities. St. Andrews always ensures that the tennis experience is enjoyable for everyone. We run Complimentary Tennis and Pickleball Clinics, monthly Twilight Mixers, Round Robins, Ladies, Men’s and Mixed Doubles Tournaments, Inter Club Challenge matches, and Pro-Am events. Most importantly, we have league play for those members looking for a little competitive challenge vs our local neighboring clubs. The St. Andrews Professional Staff provide first class lessons and are great at attracting not only new beginner players but also former players who would like to start up again. We also have a fantastic Jr. Development Program, designed for kids looking to learn and play the sport for a lifetime – tennis!
I, Aaron Krickstein, believe there are many reasons why members choose to play here over our club competition. First, our top-notch Professional Staff. We all have tremendous experience, tennis knowledge and have unique backgrounds and personalities that make our Tennis Staff the Best of the Best! We also have the best maintained and groomed tennis courts in South Florida. Finally, the tennis experience at SACC is fun, exciting, and very enjoyable for everyone – whether you take a lesson, participate in one of our events or tournaments, play socially with friends or participate on a SACC Tennis Team. I see excellent future growth in the St. Andrews community and Tennis Program. The club has seen many new, younger tennis playing members moving into the community in the last couple of years. Members with very young children, who are eager to participate in all of the club’s fun and exciting activities. We see potential for possibly more Ladies and or Men’s tennis teams and additional tennis and pickleball events due to increased attendance and more playing members. There are many ways to join the tennis community at St. Andrews, and my advice would be to get involved in our program as soon as possible. Come to a complimentary clinic, book a lesson with one of my Professional Staff, join a team to get involved with our program and meet other new players and members. We have a fantastic Tennis Program and know that if you come over to the courts to play, you will be very grateful you did! Not only does our club’s Tennis Program entice crowds, but St. Andrews Country Club offers a vibrant, top-quality lifestyle.
