I absolutely LOVE this club! The management team and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable—any question I have is answered promptly and professionally. The skilled open play sessions are always fun—lots of talented players who make winning or losing enjoyable. The 3.0-3.5 league is run smoothly with no issues. The 3.5-4.0 jamborees are challenging with skilled players willing to offer tips on improving my skill and strategy without being condescending. The instructors are top notch—I’ve had private and 3 & Me lessons which grew me from a 3.0 to a 3.5! Love the tasty teriyaki chicken wings. Oh—the Wellness Room is awesome for after playing to use the massage chairs, aqua beds (I may have the name of the bed wrong), cooling bed, and red light therapy!!! The Wellness Room is an extra charge, but completely worth it. I am so very glad this club reopened!

Just stopped by today to check out the pickleball club and hear about pricing and everything they offer, and I was really surprised in the best way. I met Emily at a wellness event at UTC and heard such great things, so I wanted to see it for myself. Plus, I had no idea it was only 5 minutes from my house which is a huge bonus. They have 8 courts, a wellness room, basketball court, covered outdoor courts, a bar, and an event space which is super cool for parties or just hanging out. Emily and Brenda at the front desk were AMAZING. Super friendly, helpful, and really knowledgeable. I honestly enjoyed talking with them. I’d love to see more events for 20–30 year olds like singles nights, ladies pickleball + brunch, and tournaments. Overall, really impressed and excited about this place!

Very very nice place and very nice staff from the front desk staff to the staff that helped us in the store! We had a good time for 2 hours we were there. We didn't use the cafe area but I really like having food there if we ever go back. I would say that the players themselves probably weren't as fun and chatty as we like to be. Pickleball player should lighten up and have fun!! After all it is a game

Came in from out of town the staff and the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Play for a few hours very comfortable environment. The owner even gave us hot chocolate chip cookies.

Amazing club overall! They have everything for every level of play. You sign up for 2 hour sessions based on your level with hardly any waiting at all. You can reserve courts to play, they have drilling sessions and club pros for lessons and some delicious food and drinks. Staff is extremely friendly, the manager Matt goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is great one. Indoor temp controlled play for Florida is ideal as well as outdoor courts that are covered. The only negative is my wife thinks I spend too much time at the club 💯😭😎. I highly recommend this club for every level of player.
