As Director of Tennis for The Sea Pines Resort, Patrick O’Keefe is responsible for overseeing all tennis operations – including lessons, clinics, tournaments, camps and Pickleball.

This is fond and familiar territory for Patrick, who began his tennis career here – first as a student and later as an instructor at Smith Stearns Tennis Academy.

Patrick hails from Salem, Virginia, where he served as Director of Tennis at Hidden Valley Country Club. Prior to that he was a coach to notable college-bound junior players at the Smith Stearns Tennis Academy.

He graduated with a degree in Business and Marketing from Radford University in Virginia, where he earned several distinctions: four-year varsity athlete, the 2015 Big South Player of the Year and a two-time All Big South First Team Player.
