About our Director of Tennis - Patrik Segfeldt
Patrik grew up outside Stockholm, Sweden and was a nationally ranked junior tennis player and was also a member of the Swedish junior World Cup ski team. Patrik came to the United States to play Division 1 college tennis on a full scholarship at University of Central Florida. Patrik has an extensive background teaching both adults and juniors at country clubs throughout Florida, Connecticut, Minnesota and Sweden.
Patrik has extensive experience managing a very large junior development program at the Racquet Club of Boca Raton, in Boca Raton, Florida. At the Racquet Club, Patrik helped develop Florida’s top junior tennis players. During his five (5) year tenure at the Racquet Club, Patrik had ten of his students receive full scholarships to play college tennis. In addition, Patrik’s students have competed at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, which is the second best junior tennis tournament in the country, second only to the Junior U.S. Open.
After the Racquet Club, Patrik went on to be the Head Pro at Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida where he managed 24 full-time tennis pros and 10 part-time tennis pros. Prior to relocating to Minnesota in 2018, Patrik was the Director of Tennis at Mizner Country Club in Delray Beach, Florida where he served as the Director of Tennis for almost fifteen (15) years. During his time in Minnesota, Patrik was the Director of Tennis at Woodhill Country Club in Wayzata, Minnesota.
