The Courts in Cape Coral is an incredible pickleball facility. 32 courts plus a center court and grandstand setup that's built for hosting pro level PPA tournaments. The annual PPA tournament is typically held in February and the venue handles it perfectly. Well laid out with tons of people and great energy. They've got a nice little pro shop on site too, which is a solid touch. There are a few tennis courts as well, though they seem to mostly sit empty (this is pickleball country, after all). If you're in Southwest Florida and love pickleball, this place is a must visit.

Great courts, I love the spacing around them. The vibe here is awesome as well. Only thing I'd complain about is the sign up process. It's a pain, but after that it's all fine.

If anyone is thinking about having a party or gathering, The Courts, Cape Coral-Private Group did a phenomenal job on my husbands surprise party! Jason was awesome in the initial set up and reserving courts for the party. Jayme was an absolute pleasure to work with for the food, drink and day of party stuff! She eased my stress and allowed me to focus on everything else. Her and her husband, Keith were outstanding in the servicing of guests with food and drinks. Everyone who attended really enjoyed themselves and said what a great venue it was. They were also impressed with our beautiful facility! The Courts has plenty of seating, cornhole/bags and ping pong for those who don’t play pickleball and there is room for a band, if you want music for your party. I give them 5 stars!!!

The Courts at Cape Coral are an impressive facility with strong community and country club vibes. The place is clean and well-maintained, with a neat little clubhouse full of pickleball swag (though I was hoping to snag a men’s beater and they didn’t have any). Accessories seemed fairly priced, especially for members. We rented a court for an hour mid-week, and it wasn’t too busy. That said, the check-in process felt a bit cumbersome. There were a lot of unnecessary hoops to jump through, and it didn’t feel particularly welcoming to non-members or guests of members. It’s one thing if the place is packed for a tournament, but it was pretty dead when we went. A little more hospitality for casual visitors would go a long way. Pro tip: create an account online ahead of time.

I am a member at The Courts, and overall it’s a wonderful place for anyone who enjoys staying active, especially if you’re into pickleball or tennis. The facility is impressive, featuring 32 pickleball courts and 12 tennis courts, which means there’s plenty of space to play without feeling overcrowded, even during busier times. The courts themselves are well maintained and provide a great playing surface, whether you’re just out for a casual game or something a bit more competitive. It’s clear that this is a spot designed with players in mind, and the layout makes it easy to move between courts and watch other matches. Beyond the courts, the amenities really add to the experience. There’s a convenient snack bar where you can grab a quick bite or drink between games, which is always a plus when you’re spending a few hours there. The locker rooms for both men and women are also a standout feature, especially with the addition of showers—perfect if you’re heading somewhere after playing. The overall atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, with a mix of skill levels that makes it approachable for beginners while still appealing to more experienced players. Whether you’re looking to play regularly or just drop in for a fun match, this is a great local spot. All in all, The Courts is a well-equipped, enjoyable facility that delivers a solid experience for both pickleball and tennis enthusiasts.
