Tennis and Pickleball on Amelia Island

By Kaden Ewald, Editor Last updated How we verify

Key facts

Three operators run court sports here, including a long-established tennis programme at the Omni resort and a dedicated pickleball club. Courts are concentrated at the south end and mid-island, and the season is the shoulder months rather than July.

Court sports here divide the way most things on this island do: the resort facilities are at the south end, and the rest is in town.

The three

Three operators are listed below with their confirmed address, telephone number and official website. One is the tennis and pickleball programme at the Omni Amelia Island resort, one is a racquet club, and one is a dedicated pickleball operation.

Whether a given facility takes non-guests, sells day passes, offers clinics or has floodlights is exactly the sort of thing we have not confirmed — so ring them. That is not a formality here: resort facilities in particular vary a great deal on non-guest access.

The season is the honest constraint

Court sports outdoors on this island are a shoulder-season activity, and the numbers make the case:

Average high Rain Humidity
April 77.4°F 3.03″ Low
July 90.7°F 4.96″ Heavy
October 80.1°F 4.97″ Broken mid-month
November 72.4°F 1.87″ Low

April, October and November are excellent. July and August average 90.7°F and 89.5°F with matching humidity and a thunderstorm most afternoons — playable early morning and early evening, punishing in between. Winter is genuinely pleasant at 64–66°F for anyone who runs warm. See weather by month.

If you are staying at a resort

Ask what is included before you book anything separately: the south-end resorts bundle court access in some rates and charge for it in others, and we hold no rate information for any of them. See where to stay and downtown or the south end for the geography.

Other things to do with a racquet-shaped afternoon

Golf is concentrated in the same part of the island. Mini golf is the wet-afternoon version. Cycling works on a flat island with a paved trail, and the beach itself is rideable on firm sand at low tide.

We publish no prices, times or durations for any operator on this site, because we have confirmed none. The address, telephone number and official website below were checked against each operator's own listing on 10 September 2026 — ring them.
