Craig Wittus
Director of Tennis
Former touring pro Craig Wittus took over the directorship of the 10 clay courts at the Diplomat Country Club about the time its 60-room hotel opened. The tennis pro shop, like the neighboring hotel and its spa, was constructed of coral stone. An elegant structure with a blue-green tile roof, it perches slightly above a the first bank of courts, its covered patio providing a place to gather before and after matches. More coral stone has been used for the terraced seating on the next bank of courts and for a border of low walls capped with decorative railing. And still more coral stone shows up in the patios between the courts. It is an altogether inviting place to play.
