USTA National Women’s Hard Court Championships, 35-85s, Rancho Mirage, CA
🎾 National Hardcourts Heat Up Mission Hills!
The USTA National Women’s Hardcourts, held at Mission Hills Country Club from October 26–November 1, was a smashing success! Huge thanks to Tournament Director Andi Polisky for organizing a terrific week of tennis and fun.
More than 100 players, from the 35s to the 75s, took to the courts for spirited competition. The desert temps were toasty, but we were grateful for the early start times, which made play both comfortable and enjoyable.
Off the court, players traded volleys for victory dances at a beautiful dinner and dance party hosted by Mission Hills. During the evening, NWTO Co-President Kathy Settles shared exciting updates about NWTO’s growth and new member perks — news that helped boost membership even more during the week.
And because no October tournament would be complete without a little mischief… yes, it was Halloween! 🎃 Costumes, candy, and camaraderie capped off a fantastic event in true NWTO style.
