“Gotta love Newks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2008
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I just came back from a Sun - Fri package at Newks resorts. We had a fantastic week and great attention, instruction and live ball play from the two lead pros - Sal and Chris. The instruction is comprehensive and specific to the individual with the Pros going beyond general text book instruction to focussing on looking to develop further your strengths and areas of improvement. Accommodation was comfortable and the food was hearty (particularly the great Thanksgiving meal that was prepared) If you want a fun hard week of tennis instruction with relaxed evening activities in a great woodland setting then Newks can't be beat for accommodation, instruction, fun and value for money. Will definitely be back. Will & Suzanne.

“GREAT TENNIS CAMP!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2008
2
people found this review helpful

GREAT TENNIS PROS. WONDERFUL AUSSIE HOSPITALITY. Plentiful tennis courts including hard true clay courts. This is not a country club, but a great tennis camp and lots of fun! Food is average, as is the accommodations (very 3-star). We had a 1-bedroom condo and loved the large space, full kitchen, and washer/dryer in room. The pro's really do a fantastic job and work hard at personally accomodating everyone's request from tennis to evening activities which always adjourn in the bar for some games, music and hanging out. - The camp location in the Hill Country of Texas is gorgeous. This is a very low key resort and TONS OF FUN! We already booked our next 5-night stay the day after we left camp.

  • Liked — well located

“The worst”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2005

people found this review helpful

My family and I were directed to the Newcombe property while visiting New Braunfels for a large birthday celebration over the Thanksgiving weekend. We quickly left our baggage in a small, dated, stuffy room and headed out to join family and friends. We returned several hours later, tired from travel and visiting. The beds were horrible, bathroom barely clean and air conditioner not working. As it was 11:00 at night, my husband and I decided to "deal with it in the morning". We were so tired. Little did we know the walls and ceiling were made of paper. Heavy footsteps above and a basketall game on TV in the next room proved too much. We could even hear the halftime scores. I went to the front desk to find a security guard immmersed in a book and not able to help. He was not surprised at all when I suggested to him we would pack up our children to find a comfortable hotel. We did. We were billed for the night. When the Newcombe company learns the simple business value of renovation we would consider returning. Nowadays travel, alone or with family, must be comfortable. And there is too much competition to settle for anything less. Yes, it caters to tennis players but do tennis players really settle for THAT?

“Fantastic time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2005

people found this review helpful

Don't expect much in the way of accommodations. We had to change rooms 3 times (toilet not working, no air conditioning, loud neighbors, etc). But we went to play tennis, and that was worth the trip. The Pros are wonderful for ALL level players. Everyone there was so nice, very down to earth and definitely not a country club atmosphere. They do a good job of mixing hard work with fun. You have to attend the karaoke party in the bar on Saturday night - a blast! I'd definitely go back.

“Great tennis, great hosts, great time.”

Perfect place to go with a group of tennis-playing friends for the weekend.

There are lots of pros to accomodate all levels of tennis. Accomodations and food are basic, but since you won't spend any time in your room, who cares? And you will be so hungry from so much tennis, everything tastes great.
