Tennis Director Don deWilde has been there 27 years, far longer than any resort pro anywhere
in the islands, and a longevity that seems appropriate at a family run resort. Not only
does Buccaneer tennis pro Don deWilde know tennis, he knows the game of most of the
Buccaneer's repeat guests and local players. After all, he's been the resort's tennis pro for more than 20 years.
A graduate of the College of William and Mary in Virginia, Don bounced around a few Caribbean resorts before finding his home on the sunny shores of St. Croix. Don feels two things make tennis at The Buccaneer special: the opportunity to play outdoors 365 days a year in the spectacular setting, and the clientele.
"I know every single player on the island. A lot of lasting friendships are made
between guests and locals. Ultimately, it's the camaraderie that guests respond to the most,
as they meet tennis-playing locals who come to the courts for both good competition
and a good time."
