about South Beach
Racquet Club

A Legacy of Tennis Excellence

Founded in 1986 by Don and Rachel Sigmon, South Beach Racquet Club (SBRC) has been a premier destination for tennis enthusiasts for nearly four decades. Nestled in the heart of Hilton Head Island’s scenic South Beach area, our club has become a beloved hub for players of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned competitors.

As passionate tennis players, Don and Rachel built SBRC with a vision: to create a welcoming, family-friendly environment where players could enjoy the game while fostering a sense of community. Their dedication to the sport is evident not only in the top-tier facilities but also in their active involvement—whether coaching local high school teams, leading clinics, or playing alongside members and guests.
