What Makes Our Tournaments Stand Out

At Deer Valley Athletic Club in Boone, NC, tennis tournaments are more than just matches—they’re moments where community, competition, and connection meet. Our tournaments stand out because we’ve built them for every kind of player—from seasoned adults to enthusiastic juniors—while wrapping the whole experience in the fun, comfort, and charm of a mountain-town club. If you’re searching for a place where sports and social life collide, this is it.

Deer Valley Athletic Club is a family-friendly – and focused – environment with fitness classes, a full gym, pools, tennis, pickleball, and much more for all ages. Join today or learn more.

Built on Competition and Camaraderie

There are plenty of athletic clubs out there, but Deer Valley tournaments have a different feel. Yes, the matches are competitive, but they’re also supportive. Our members play hard and cheer harder—because we believe community thrives on more than just a scoreboard.

We host USTA-sanctioned events as well as fun, low-pressure club tournaments throughout the year. The result? Players of all levels—juniors, adults, singles, doubles—can find a bracket that fits their skill and lifestyle. And with both indoor and outdoor courts available, weather rarely gets in the way.

A Full Club Atmosphere

Here’s what makes us truly different: when the match ends, the fun doesn’t. Tournament weekends at Deer Valley often include:

  • Food and drink specials at the club restaurant (yes, there’s beer on tap and burgers for the whole crew)
  • Social events
  • Convenient lodging nearby, including Graystone Lodge and other Boone hotels, just minutes from the club

It’s a weekend getaway without the need to go far. Local players love that. Visitors from out of town do too.

Tournaments with a Personal Touch

Because Deer Valley is privately owned and operated, we get to do things a little differently. That means:

  • Thoughtful scheduling that allows time to enjoy the club—not just rush to your next match
  • Real humans running check-in and brackets, not cold, automated systems
  • A team that knows your name and your game

You won’t find long lines, packed waiting areas, or overbooked brackets. What you will find is a tennis weekend that feels both fun and focused.
