In the hills east of San Francisco stands a 22-acre urban resort first opened in 1915 as a place for wealthy San Franciscans to get away from the city's notoriously foggy weather. Today the Claremont Resort has 279 recently upgraded rooms and suites, two swimming pools, a 20,000-square-foot spa and 10 impeccable tennis courts overlooking San Francisco Bay.
Schedule your court time just before dusk, and weather permitting, you can play against an unforgettable backdrop of the sun setting behind the Golden Gate.
