The level of soccer was great. Impressive facilities. On this particular week end there were no rides to the various fields, some 1/4 mile and more from the parking area. While we were ok I could see problems for the physically impaired. Since the facilities were so impressive it was odd there wasn't anything for people that needed it.

I am 26 and I've been playing for a little over 4 years now I just attended the 5-day adult program in February and I was throughly impressed with the entire experience. It was the perfect 5-day getaway to just hit balls and escape the winter in Canada. The instructors Jimmy, Roger and Enrique really helped my game. They were spot on with feedback and were really encouraging over the 5 days. The 6+ hours of hitting a day gives you enough time to work on a goal over and over again - I decided on the first day I needed to stay on the ground and I think I achieved that. I even had a group lesson with Mr. Bollettieri himself, and it was probably the best group lesson of my life - and it came with a video. Yes, it's expensive, but definitely an experience to remember. Would recommend staying in the clubhouse on the grounds and getting a breakfast and dinner meal plan (lunch is included with the 5-day program). I also had a driver from and to the airport so that was more convenient as well.

I took my wife here for her birthday for two half days of tennis instruction. It was nothing like I anticipated...it was 10 times more! From the time we arrived, we were greeted at the front desk for our credentials and then directed to the courts. Once we arrived at the courts we were immediately greeted by Roger a guy with a passion for life and were immediately made to feel very comfortable. Slowly we met the various other team members, Jimmy the head pro, Enrique and Rachel. Folks I'm telling you this WAS THE BEST TRAINING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED!!!!! Bar none! My wife and I are not high rated tennis players, but that didn't matter, they positioned us with different instructors and teamed us with people at similar experience and we worked...I mean we WORKED, what amazing training.If you are looking to improve your skills, make some great friends and feel great about your experience, you MUST attend this Academy!Jimmy, Roger, Rachel and Enrique...thank you so much for such a memorable experience. We WILL be back.For those of you who want a truly memorable experience...you can't go wrong here.

A University atmosphere that caters to all the needs of athletes wether professional or amateur. IMG has amazing facilities, coaches and every service an athlete may need.

I'm shocked by the negative- as they say,"You get out of it, what you put into it" We spent summers in the Wood Bat League at IMG prior to becoming a full-time high school student . The facilities keep getting better and better and the academics are stellar, in a college preparatory learning environment. I can't say enough about the caliber of Coaches and trainers- they cover EVERY aspect of the game, including mental and vision training (just like the MLB!) If your goal is to play collegiate sports or beyond, know that in competitive sports, you HAVE to have an "edge". IMG is the place for that edge. I'm absolutely certain my son is best prepared for his Division I SEC Collegiate journey, as a result of HIS hard work and IMG's intense all-inclusive training regime! I feel certain he is better prepared than most kids, for the college transition, since he's lived in a dorm (much like college) and had to become a master of time management, juggling studies with athletics and their training regime. I wanted the BEST for our son and I found it here. I highly recommend the baseball program and have shared my experience with many prospective parents. When I titled this "Baseball Nirvana" I meant it- If you visit campus, you will see why!

My two sons attended tennis summer camps for three years. They loved the coaches, the competition level, the facilities and the opportunity of making friends from around the world. Now, they are on their third year as full time students at the Bollettieri tennis academy. The tennis program is designed to take your game to the next level, and IMG Pendleton school provides teachers with great background to help the students become more.The facilities include the Gatorade Research Center, HSS Sport Rehabilitation center, amazing gym and have been improved with a brand new football/track and field stadium; new dorms. The new academic building is coming up, as a big new cafeteria.We totally recommend the Academy. There's nothing better than watching my boys happy.A worthy experience...(If your kid and your family are willing to work as hard as necessary to become more).

Our son was inspired by the high level of major league experience in the coaching staff and the professional behavior of the entire staff. The facility is top notch and we all felt it was a privilege to have had the opportunity to attend a camp. We were inspired and encouraged to attend school in the Fall and are so glad our son is there!

I was very disappointed with soccer camp my daughter attended week after xmas 2014. I felt I was persuaded by their website and my expectations were not met as a parent paying that much for only a 3 day camp. The staff was nice but the training was highly inadequate for the level my daughter (high school freshman, elite player) was expecting. I feel I should have researched this more thoroughly as well as encouraged more verbal discussion and commitment from the program directors. After the camp, I did voice my opinion both in an email to the director as well as in the survey they sent me. They did respond to my concerns quickly, but truth was for that cost, we expected better training. This was by far the worst camp she had ever attended and she's been to UNC, NIU, Univ Notre Dame, OSU, and others. Save your money. Send your daughters to elite training or area university camps.

The golf course is beautiful and Smoothie King has great smoothie. I feel the price of golf is fare. The greens and in good shape and the driving range is quite large so when it's busy you still don't feel crowded

Came for the national finals soccer tournament and i was expecting something more. I have traveled the country for soccer tournaments and have been to better facilities. The fields were ok, ive seen better in a number of states. The parking was not great, bathrooms were discusting, not enough bathroom nor maintained much. The tram was rarely seen, the attendants were not friendly, almost like bullies. The tournament was fine and run decent, but coming to this famous academy left me scratching my head in the end due to the above mentioned, in the end, the facilities were less than impressive by alot.

We thought this would be the ultimate experience for soccer. First day wasn't so bad. 2nd 3rd and 4th day they made us park so far out as they said parking lots were full. As we walked holding with a baby ( we didn't bring stroller as they told us people with golf carts would pick us up) nobody would take us to the fields as they said they weren't allowed to or they had to get the elderly. Keep in mind we stood at the 'tram car' pick up spot for 10 min. So it took us about 20 min to walk to the field. During our walk we saw open spots near the fields - many open spots. We kept hearing the people working that it was so unorganized - how can't that be this isn't the first event!! It will take a lot of convincing for me to spend the money to come back down here!

Famous for its tennis academy, a major expansion of a sports complex with a research bldg and a stadium is almost complete. It will include golf, soccer, football, basketball and baseball. The food in the tennis and golf clubhouses is open to the public.

As a member with a home on the course, I can say this is a great golf club with great food in restaurant, and overall a very nice experience.

Amazing place, we had heard about IMG for years but never had the time to come down. My two sons were in the Golf Camp and have already asked me when they were going to return. Their two coaches were great with them, ones name was Jay and the other was Mike. I did the adult program with Daniel and learned a ton. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. While it definitely isn't cheap, you get what you pay for.
