Casa de Campo's country club-style La Terazza Tennis Center.

Casa de Campo can do that because tennis director Emilio Vasquez has assembled a very large tennis staff—more than 70 counting the landscape gardeners and maintenance crew—among them 9 teaching pros, 16 aspiring instructors, who are available as hitting partners whenever another guest cannot be found, and 32 ball boys, usually drawn from the local junior program."
