HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC – Heritage Golf Group is pleased to announce that Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club was recently named a “Top 25 Resorts Gold Medal Award winner” by Tennis Resorts Online for 2017. This is the fourth award for Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club from Tennis Resorts Online. Since 2009, Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club has received several accolades from Tennis Resorts Online including, “World’s Top 25 Tennis Resorts” – 2009, “Top 50 Resorts” – 2014 and “Silver Medalist Resort – Top 100 Resorts” – 2015.
Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club hosts about 50 Tennis Groups each year. They range in size from as few as four to as many as 80. Tanda Bianco, who heads up what Port Royal dubs its “Ambassador Program,” tailor makes each outing to suit the individual needs of the group, including the option of staying in a nearby hotel-the 412-room beachfront Westin Resort-rather than in villas. “They call me and I arrange everything,” says Bianco. “I take their deposit, arrange parties, lunches, bags of goodies and as many hours of programming and play they want. They can even pick the hours they want clinics-we don’t restrict them to mornings or afternoons.”
“We are excited about our recent ranking in Tennis Resorts Online’s Top 100 Tennis Resorts and Camps worldwide.” said Rick Shoemaker, Director of Operations for the Heritage Golf Collection on Hilton Head Island. “This award is a testament to how hard our staff works to create such an outstanding golf and tennis experience and we will continue to strive for an elevated experience for Members and Guests.”
Tennis Reviews Online has a tedious process for announcing a gold medal winner. The process for calculating reviews is below.
How the reviews are calculated:
Throughout the past year, Tennis Resorts Online asked thousands of monthly visitors and vacationers from all over the world for their opinions. The rankings are based on opinions in general as well as input of 20 different aspects of tennis including tennis instruction, teaching staff and services such as game matching. Additional considerations were lodging, cuisine, and other recreation as well as their sense of how much value they received for their vacation dollar. Then Tennis Resorts Online began compiling those evaluations into a numerical ranking using a formula that gave added weight to the tennis elements. To ensure that these results were statistically meaningful, Tennis Resorts Online requires a minimum of 25 reviews for a resort to qualify for a Top 10 ranking and a minimum of 10 reviews to earn a Gold Medal. Only reviews associated with a valid email address are counted. Finally, although Tennis Resorts Online encourages reviews of all types of properties, only those having a minimum of six tennis courts were eligible to be ranked.
