Resident Justin Wilson expressed frustration on social media, stating that public facilities should prioritize local residents. The event, which attracts numerous college teams, may impact resident access to public tennis courts, prompting mixed community reactions.

Hilton Head Island is currently hosting its annual Spring Tennis Fest, a college tennis tournament attracting teams from across the nation. This year’s event has raised concerns among residents regarding the availability of public tennis courts.
The Spring Tennis Fest, first held in 1986, originally called “Spring Break Tennis,” has grown significantly, drawing 159 teams in 2024. Due to the cancellation of private facilities by the Van Der Meer Tennis Academy this year, the Professional Tennis Registry (PTR) relied heavily on public courts.

PTR Vice President Julie Jilly expressed her regret that one person’s dissatisfaction focused on just two weeks of the ongoing event.
