Designed for all ages and ability levels, our lessons are led by two experienced, enthusiastic instructors who are passionate about helping guests build confidence and have fun behind the boat.

Tennis
Serve up some fun with our engaging tennis lessons, led by an experienced tennis “pro” who brings energy, expertise, and a love of the game to every session!
Whether you’re brand new to the court or looking to sharpen competitive skills, each lesson is completely tailored to you. We can cover a wide range of fundamentals — from footwork and form to strategy and shot placement — or zoom in on perfecting a single skill. Want to finesse your serve? Add more power to your backhand? Improve your net play? We’ll build the lesson around your goals.

Sailing
Sail away with our qualified sailor and enjoy the breeze on Pelican Lake and the view from the open water! Sailing is weather dependent. If there is a time we cannot safely do lessons, we will carry over to another time.
Whether you’re brand new to sailing or need to remember the jib from the boom, the lesson will be tailored to the group. By the end of the week, you’ll be able to take out the Hobie Cat sailboats on your own!
Lesson Length: 30 minutes – or until the wind returns!

Whether you’re picking up a club for the very first time or looking to lower your handicap, lessons are designed for all ages and abilities. Our pro can work with you on a wide variety of skills, including grip, stance, swing mechanics, driving distance, iron accuracy, short game techniques, and overall course strategy. Each session is tailored to your goals, ensuring you get focused, hands-on instruction that builds both confidence and consistency.

Join the newest sensation at Fair Hills — pickleball! 🏓✨ Our courts have quickly become a guest favorite, bringing friendly competition, laughter, and plenty of fast-paced fun to the resort.
While we don’t offer formal private pickleball lessons, we host lively clinics several times a week for two different age groups. These sessions are a fantastic opportunity to sharpen your skills, learn new techniques, and build confidence on the court — all in a relaxed, social atmosphere.
Looking for a little extra excitement? Be sure to check out our pickleball tournaments, where players can test their skills and enjoy some spirited match play.
No sign-up required for clinics — simply grab a paddle and head to the courts when you see them listed on the activity schedule. It’s easy to jump in, meet new friends, and discover why pickleball is the talk of Fair Hills!

Lesson Sign-Ups
Lesson sign-ups are handled with a lottery system.
The lottery is held Sunday – Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in the lobby. Sign-ups are done nightly for the next day (Sunday for Monday, Monday for Tuesday, etc.)
Every guest at Fair Hills is eligible to enter the lottery for a lesson slot in each of the five sports. When signing up for the lottery, your name is entered into the bucket for which you correspond: have not yet had a lesson, have had one lesson, have had more than one lesson. These buckets only correspond to lessons given that specific year and that specific week at Fair Hills. Typically those who want lesson slots will get 2-5 lessons in the respective sport for the week. Some weeks have a higher demand for lessons than others. After the lottery, if there are open lesson slots, they may be filled on a first come, first served basis. Detailed lottery rules are available at the front desk and during the lottery.
