Yonahlossee Racquet Club is a private tennis club nestled in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.
Yonahlossee Racquet Club is a private tennis facility located in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. The club is located in between Boone, Blowing Rock, and Grandfather Mountain State Park, and is only a stone's throw away from the famous and magnificent Blue Ridge Parkway.
Yonahlossee Racquet Club, before it was a tennis facility, was an all-girls camp, Camp Yonahlossee. This camp was started in 1922, and offered a variety of outdoor activities to young ladies whose adventurous spirit could not be tamed. In 1987, the camp was sold to a developer with a vision for a tennis resort that would embody the natural beauty of the area. This tennis resort, known as Yonahlossee Racquet Club, became immediately recognized by Tennis Industry Magazine as “New Facility of the Year” and “Court of the Year.” Years passed as Yonahlossee Racquet Club grew into the member-owned tennis facility and resort it is today.
Currently, Yonahlossee Racquet Club offers seven outdoor Har-Tru Clay courts that are maintained everyday by YRC Club Staff. In addition to seven outdoor tennis courts, the club also has an indoor tennis facility that has three hard surface indoor courts, with heat, equipped for the cold winters in the High Country. The club’s tennis Pro Shop offers a varied assortment of women’s and men’s tennis clothing by brands like Nike, Asics, Adidas, and Sofibella. Anything you need, the Pro Shop can provide: tennis balls, dampeners, grips, sweatbands, even shoes and racquets. Do you need your racquet restrung? Just ask us here at the Pro Shop and we can do it in house!
Yonahlossee Racquet Club does not just offer activities for tennis players. The resort has a beautiful indoor swimming pool which is open and maintained all year round. Through the heat of summer and cold of winter our members and guests can enjoy a relaxing swim, or can take laps for the best exercise! And speaking of exercise, the YRC has a gym that is well equipped with every necessary piece of gym equipment: treadmills, ellipticals, free weights, etc. Both of these attractions are available year round to members and guests.
Along with the gym, pool, and tennis courts, Yonahlossee Racquet Club hosts a number of social events throughout the year that are sure to appeal to guests and members. Some of these events may include golf outings to local courses, art shows, breakfasts at the clubhouse, and many more. Usually any holiday round robin of tennis is accompanied by a delicious meal, which member house guests are welcome to attend. During the summer,, every Thursday night YRC hosts the very popular and weekly event, “Grillin and Chillin.” This relaxed social gathering is a night where our members and guests can bring family and friends, bring a bunch of burgers and beverages of your choice, and grill out in the beautiful High Country evenings.
