While the pros compete in the U.S. Open in Queens, owners of these elegant estates can hone their skills on private courts in desirable settings from Houston’s leafy suburbs to the Pacific Coast in Santa Barbara.
Exceptional Mediterranean Enclave
Dusty Baker, Caitlin Racich | Sotheby’s International Realty – Montecito – Coast Village Road Brokerage
On one of the most coveted streets in Santa Barbara’s exclusive Hope Ranch, this majestic Mediterranean-inspired compound gazes out over treetops toward the Pacific Ocean. The approximately 7,800-square-foot residence is a sophisticated, stylish centerpiece of an impressive estate that resembles a personal private resort. Glorious landscaped grounds envelop a two-bedroom guesthouse, a pool accompanied by a pool house, a spa, a fitness center, a treehouse, garden beds, a chicken coop, and a professional-caliber tennis court.
Classic Meets Contemporary
Leslie McElwreath | Sotheby’s International Realty – Greenwich Brokerage

Joining the residence on its 3.7 lush parklike acres—tastefully landscaped by Stephen Stimson—are a two-bedroom guesthouse, a refreshing swimming pool and spa, and across an emerald lawn, a fenced private tennis court.
