The Palm-Aire Country Club is in the process of selling the Oaks Tennis Club courts, clubhouse and swimming pool to Rick Macci Tennis Enterprises. The Macci company s plan is to make the tennis club the home of the Rick Macci Tennis Academy. Macci has coached many young players and professionals, some of whom, such as Venus and Serena Williams and Jennifer Capriati, have gone on to win important tennis championships.
Intentions are to continue to operate the club as a tennis facility for many years.
Courts and clubhouse will be improved, possibly with lights installed at some of the courts for nighttime play and stands at a front court for seating a tennis audience. Men s and ladies locker rooms will be renovated. All existing memberships in good standing will be honored, and new memberships will be solicited. All employees will be retained. These steps are expected to provide the continuity the facility needs to assure future success.
