Chasing cooler breezes and golden sunsets? Ocean Club Resorts makes it easy with night-lit courts designed for tennis and pickleball. With professional, lighted surfaces at both Ocean Club (East) and Ocean Club West, you can rally after dark, beat the midday sun, and turn your match into a full evening experience with dining, fitness, beach time, and more.
In this guide, you’ll find evening hours for each resort, what complimentary gear is available, and smart ways to pair your match with the many on-property amenities—so you can relax, refuel, and keep the fun going.
